Think and Grow Rich - or Men and Woman who Resent Poverty

Unlike many of the other editions on the market today, this edition is complete and unabridged! First published in 1937, this is the end product of two decades of research conducted by Napoleon Hill. His research started when Andrew Carnegie (the steel tycoon who was then the richest man on earth) gave him the assignment of organizing a Philosophy of Personal Achievement. Hill, who was a poor journalist, armed with just an introductory letter from Carnegie, set out to interview over five hundred successful people including Henry Ford, Thomas Edison, Alexander Graham Bell, John D. Rockefeller, George Eastman, William Wrigley Jr. and Charles M. Schwab. Hill then revealed the priceless wisdom of his research in the form of the thirteen steps to success (in Think and Grow Rich) and the seventeen principles of success (in courses and lectures he conducted). The concepts taught by Napoleon Hill transformed my life. Some of these include developing a definite purpose, building a Positive Mental Attitude (PMA), channeling the power of the sub-conscious mind and dealing with adversity. Everything he wrote about or talked about is thought provoking. He was wise, humble and funny. His philosophy is universal; he did not mix it with religion. The riches he referred to were more than money, for the Philosophy of Personal Achievement can be applied to anything in life. Hill was well ahead of his time. This book has a chapter dedicated to some of today's most important issues - Specialized Knowledge, Decision Making, Imagination and Organized Planning (in which he deals with Leadership). He also has principles for Teamwork,

Reviews

"How can one even think of writing a review of "Think and Grow Rich" - it is not a classic, it is "The Classic". I was a very slow starter on this psychological stuff living my childhood in England, in the days when psychology was considered to be "rubbish" - how wrong can you be? It is the foundation of every success and reading this classic will help anyone to increase the chances of success in their lives.

The story is well known, Andrew Carnegie, at the time, the richest man alive gave Napolean Hill, the assignment of writing a Philosophy of Personal Achievement. Armed with an introductory letter from Carnegie, over the next many years, Hill interviewed over five hundred successful people including Henry Ford, Thomas Edison, Alexander Graham Bell, John D. Rockefeller, George Eastman, William Wrigley Jr. and Charles M. Schwab.

Finally published in 1937, Hill delivered his wisdom as thirteen steps to success. Without doubt, if you wish to be successful in any venture, you must learn and adopt the thought patterns of those who have achieved success, for they do think in differently, and yet, these different mindsets can be learned."

"The grandaddy of self-help for American Capitalists. If you're in business, needing practical guidance for the workplace or just want a little lesson in industrialized American history, then this is a great book for you. Most successful people you know have read it. It's a best-kept secret for strategy in networking. While some of the anecdotes are a little outdated, the theories behind them are the stuff moguls are made of. It should be required reading in schools."

"Every now and then a book comes along which has the potential to change your life; Think and Grow Rich, by Napoleon Hill is just such a book, in my opinion. Napoleon Hill spent twenty five years of his life personally interviewing and studying the lives of very successful people such as Henry Ford and Thomas Edison. Hill has broken his observations down into seventeen fundamental principles which he has illustrated with real examples from the lives of the people he studied.

Think and Grow Rich was an absolute inspiration and revelation to me. It is a book which is full of hope and will motivate anyone to want to work harder in order to achieve their goals. Hill recommends that the book is read at least three times and I would agree with him. There is a lot of information to digest. Hill advises the reader to write down their goals and to truly believe and have faith that you will succeed. Think and Grow Rich was first published in 1937. It is the original self-help book; an oldie but a goodie. I have read many motivational books in my life and this is one of the best. The more I read, the more inspired I became. Anything is possible if you believe and are prepared to work hard enough. My favourite line from the book is "a winner never quits and a quitter never wins."

"This book goes through the factors that lead to success and the factors that lead to failure. After reading this book, I feel motivated than ever to take charge over my life. Hill does an excellent job providing examples of successful people who follow the advice given in the book and since it helped them, I believe it can help many people who need the motivation and inspiration to do something bigger with their lives."

"My journey into the development of my mind started with this book over 25 years ago.I not only have the book but I also have the book on tape. This book will change your life in ways that will amaze you. It is not how to get rich but to achieve everything that you need or desire as long as you can picture it in your mind. I have given this book to several people and sat back to watch the rewards."
