This book has sold millions of copies and is a ‘Bible’ for people who search for financial freedom.
It was twenty years in the making, and though it’s over 70 years since the book was first published, it is as relevant today as it was then. This book features in the libraries of all people who wish to learn the laws of success.
The message of this book, by Napoleon Hill, is simple – you can have anything you want in life if you desire it enough – while the essence of the book is Napoleon Hill’s famous statement: “Everything your mind can conceive, you can achieve”. Many people consider Think and Grow Rich to be the ancestor of all self-development or wealth creation books and presents the money-making secrets that can change your life.
Inspired by Andrew Carnegie’s magic formula for success, this book will teach you the secrets that will bring you a fortune. It reveals what the rich do that others do not, to succeed and will show you not only what to do but how to do it. It is about thought, and how that leads to action, which in turn leads to wealth. Once you learn and apply the simple, basic techniques revealed here, you will have mastered the secret of true and lasting success. And you may have whatever you want in life.
The formula to success has 13 principles:
- Desire
- Faith
- Autosuggestion
- Specialized Knowledge
- Imagination
- Organized Planning
- Decision
- Persistence
- The Master Mind
- The Mystery of Sexual Sublimation
- The Subconscious Mind
- The Brain
- The Sixth Sense
Hill’s passion and belief in his life’s work leap off every page. It’s hard not to get swept up in the enthusiasm for his principles. He shows you how to make them work for you, and how you need to change your thinking if you are ever going to succeed.
This book is one of the first motivational self-help books. You’ll be surprised just how much of the courses and books you see on this subject come directly from this book.
Napoleon Hill certainly knew his stuff, and wasn’t afraid to speak his mind, and because of that it is an interesting read. The book contains many practical exercises and questionnaires that help to keep the reader engaged. It provides goal-setting guidelines and helps you to make clear plans to follow. So when you read it, have your notebook and hi-lighter ready!!
