Publishers Description
One of the leading stars in the "positive thinking" movement, Zig Ziglar has made a career out of telling people how to have a positive attitude, no matter what their circumstances are. But when a fall down a stairway onto a marble floor leaves him with a head injury, he is challenged with how to put the principles he'd been speaking about into practice. Ziglar's willingness to be transparent has him back writing and speaking with renewed energy before audiences in the tens of thousands to show that life on life's terms is still well worth living. "Embrace the Struggle" affirms the validity of the principles Ziglar has held true his entire life and includes not only his account of living positively through difficult circumstances; it also includes heartwarming stories of real people who encouraged him with how they put into practice these vital principles.

Living Life on Life's Terms
Zig Ziglar and Julie Ziglar Norman
2009
Howard Books
Non-Fiction/Christian Life
What would you do if you were the "king" of positive thinking and had always been in popular demand as a motivational speaker, and suddenly you find yourself unable to remember past the end of your sentences? What if you could not stand up straight, all due to a head injury sustained in a fall. Would you sit down and say, hey I am eighty two and it is time to retire? Not Zig Ziglar. He works with what he has, and has developed a totally new strategy for speaking and ministering.
This book that he and his daughter co-authored, shares those struggles, along with the struggles of other people they have come into contact with. A book written to show us that bumps in the road are just that, bumps, not roadblocks. We can go on in the midst of trying times.
Definitely a book to read if your in the midst of a struggle, if you think quitting is your only option. An encouraging book, filled with stories of overcomers. 204 pages $23.99 US 4 stars

| | |  | An inspiring, revealing, honest and transparent message... Dec 31, 2009 |
Zig Ziglar and Julie Norman Ziglar strip away the fluff and color of dealing with adversity to deliver an inspiring, revealing, honest and transparent message of hope and faith to all who open their hearts as they read each chapter of Embrace the Struggle. Zig continues his legacy of living with integrity by sharing intimate details of the challenges, fears, triumphs and love that he, the Redhead, their family and associates have indeed embraced as a result of his head injury. The experiences of others which are included in this latest Ziglar book connect with the reader on a practical, emotional, financial or spritiual level...perhaps all of the above.
I first saw Zig Ziglar in 1985. At that time Zig was an energetic, articulate, positive and entertaining speaker with a tremendous capacity to reach his audience with a meaningful message. And though his delivery is now slower and made with the assistance of his daughter Julie, Zig's message of encouragement, hope and faith is as relevant today as it ever has been. Without a doubt Embrace the Struggle is his most important book to date. Regardless of whether you are a veteran reader of Zig Ziglar or a first-timer I encourage all to read this book, share it with others and embrace the struggles life sends your way.

The beginning chapter gave me the impression this was going to be a book typical of Zig Zigler inspiration. Oh how I was disappointed, and bored! Redundant testimonials after another, in rapid fire. I only made it through listening to the end because I was waiting for the insightful inspirational wittiness of Zig, I am so use to, to start flowing.
I actually was sad listening to him. Move on Zig. Your legacy is well cemented in place for all time. It won't be quitting but rather stepping aside with dignity.
Your Biggest Fan (Still) | | | | Transparent and Real Dec 12, 2009 |
What a pleasure it is to read such a transparent and real book.
I heard Ziglar say years ago, "I'm not gonna ease up, let up, give up or shut up...until I'm taken up!" About the same time, he pointed at me and said, "if you want life to change, then change - I dare you to answer the phone, every time, with 'it's a great day Danny Smith.'"
That was around 1991 and he was telling me back then to live life on life's terms. Thanks Zig.

Summary: From a highly successful career in motivational speaking to a daily struggle overcoming the effects of a head injury, Zig Ziglar's life changed drastically in just minutes when he suffered a traumatic fall down the stairs one fateful night. After years of speaking and writing about the value of having a positive attitude and being thankful, Zig was challenged to put his own words into practice.
In true Ziglar style, filled with optimism and honesty, Zig shares his experience, along with heartening stories from friends, as he seeks to encourage and remind you that life is worth living, even if it's not on our own terms. (synopsis from the book flap)
I have read many of Zig Ziglar's books, even though I am not that much of a non-fiction fan. Mr Ziglar has a way of writing that lends a fiction feel to a non-fiction topic, its truly amazing. This book makes you think, and feel your way through life's problems and helps your reaction to each problem you face turn more and more towards a solution as opposed to just crying about it all. I do give it a four stars because Mr. Ziglar is very religious and this book has a STRONG Christian undercurrent that, as being not Christian, completely turned me off for most of the actual message...but I did read it and I got the point, however heavily saturated, I just substituted my own religious Diety in for his and then it was great.
