Think And Grow Rich Original 1937 Edition

This is my absolute favorite book of all time. I’ve read it multiple times and plan on reading it again. This book should be a mandatory read in high school classes. This book literally changed my life and made me more successful. This isn’t just a book , it’s a guide to the secrets of success and the power of manifestation. I love Napoleon Hill, he dedicated his life to write this book. I 110% recommend reading this book if you want your life to change the way mine did.

Simply brilliant reading from the first page through the last. Imagine every high school student in America (or the world for that matter) learning life lessons from some of the most powerful spiritual leaders, wealthiest capitalists, and productive men and women who have achieved great things throughout history! My advice is to purchase the eBook for 99 cents and download it onto your phone so you have it with you everywhere you go. I chose to add the audio option for when I'm traveling in the car or going on long trips. This is a no-brainer people. For $1 you are given a key to change your life, and the life of your future generations to come. No it's not some magic wand and you most likely won't be a billionaire by the time you finish reading it. But every page is loaded with thought provoking concepts and real world application that apply just as much today as they did at the time the author wrote the book nearly 80 years ago. This is no accident folks...the exact same tools have been available to all mankind since we were able to think independently. I've seen some comments from others that say this version is abridged. At least with the eBook this is not the case as from what I recognized it was the original, unedited script. I was aware that the initial publication was pulled and stripped due to censorship, removing the vital parts and leaving everything that was mundane and relatively useless so was particularly careful in choosing this particular version. While the censored version keeps you grounded in what "the church" or "the government" would force feed you to believe (remember when the earth was flat and the center of the universe, and the only way to receive forgiveness from God was to pay a dowry to the church?), the uncensored version forces you to walk away from the status quo and stop thinking like the masses while providing a new reality that opens up a world a possibilities that YOU control. Concepts like 'vibrational energy' and 'universal knowledge' permeate the entire text and are truly the foundation for creating one's destiny. I'm no expert, but I have studied these concepts consistently over the past 5 years and have seen remarkable changes in my own life and many of my like minded colleagues. It was refreshing to read "Think and Grow Rich" and learn that my experiences are not unique and that virtually identical ways of thinking were present around the turn of the 20th century and earlier. After reading this book, the next 5 years will show more persistence in applying these concepts to everyday life...in fact I have already started a men's group that will meet weekly to discuss this book in great detail over the course of an entire year and track how the life of each member has changed.

It is a classic for a reason. I've heard about that book for years, and finally decided to read it. It shares a lot of ideas about mindset and achieving success. I think it's still relevant today. It talks about having a strong desire and being persistent. Those are good lessons for anyone. I found some of the advice inspiring. That book made me think about my own goals. It made me consider how I think about success. It's a bit old-fashioned in some ways, but the core ideas are still powerful. I think that anyone who wants to improve their life can learn something from it. It's a good book to read.

This book was the culmination of 25 years of research, and over 500+ interviews. Napoleon Hill has done a fantastic job of organizing his thoughts into the thirteen attributes found amongst wealthy men. It challenges you to become introspective, and evaluate and be honest with yourself. It opens the reader's mind to the ideas of removing fear, tapping in to the spiritual faculty of man, and organizing thoughts and ideas and knowledge into a plan of desire to bring about desired outcome. Desire, faith, auto-suggestion, the subconscious mind, the sixth sense; these are but a few of the powerful topics of study evaluated and analyzed in this easy-to-read book. I highly recommend all self-thinkers read this book. In fact, I believe at the tender age of 14, if all boys and girls read this book, we would have a tremendous growth in wealth across the globe. Why? Read the book! You will understand what I mean. The most powerful thing you can do is educate yourself, and think for YOURSELF. Hill has studied men such as: Henry Ford, Thomas Edison, Theodore Roosevelt, Andrew Carnegie, George S. Parker, Henry L. Doherty, Wilbur Wright, Charles M. Schwab, Daniel Willard, Daniel T. Wright, Frank A. Vanderlip, Woodrow Wilson, Dr. Frank Crane, and MORE! Several of the topics like auto-suggestion, the discussion of the sixth sense, and the power I found the concept of the "Master Mind" very enlightening. The idea of creating your group is not something new, but in evaluation, opened my eyes to the cosmic power of vibrations, shared and multiplied by positive and like-minded people, and how I have been missing out on this for most of my life! The idea of SEX TRANSMUTATION, is one that is making its rounds more recently amongst the red-pill community as semen retention, or loosely the "no-fap" movement. This vindicates the shared belief amongst woke men that our desire for sex when exercised with no discipline, leads to no purpose in life. But, when tapped and channeled creatively, can render us victorious in our careers, entrepreneurship goals, and CREATIVE abilities and fruits. It's PROFOUND, and I highly recommend young men and old men read and apply this concept. This book will only help you if you are receptive. Receptive to the to the ideas of spiritual higher power, or if you are aware of the "vibrational" frequencies emitted by our spiritual energy. It is loosely based on "The Secret" or " the Law of Attraction." The book shares themes found in meditative, spiritual, and higher power thought circles. Not surprisingly, I have had the benefit of sharing the advice of meditative faculties and effects in my overall life, and feel a sort of vindication to have stumbled on this book and Hill's learnings. The only reason I give it 4 stars is due to some grammatical typos, (way too many) for a professional book. That's not the reason I read this book, and overlooked it for the simple fact that I care more about the themes, the power held in the themes, and their practical usage when implemented into daily routines of thought, action, and planning.

One of the most needed book for mankind to start your self improvement path. The events he refers are not probably known by young readers but they echo our time and should be an inspiration in theses times we’re leaving. I recommend it !

Thank you, a good ebook.

This book changed how I think about goals, money, and discipline. It is simple to read and easy to follow. Each chapter pushes you to think clearly about desire, focus, and action. It does not talk about luck. It talks about planning and persistence. The ideas feel old, but they still work today. I started applying the lessons while reading, not after finishing. If you want structure for your goals and control over your thinking, this book is worth reading.

A must read to enhance your skills and grow in life no matter what you are or want. A must read, a lot of knowledge and help a lot to understand how things works.

I was directed to this book by a former colleague of mine. We were both in Real Estate Sales; I, a newcomer, and my colleague, a seasoned veteran of the industry. My colleague had told me that this book was one that "should be read by everybody in the industry." I jumped onto Google to suss it out a little more before I made the purchase. The books has high reviews by some of the most successful people on the planet. Jordan Belfort himself recommends this book as if it were an offshoot to the Bible. I soon purchased this book and began reading. Following the instructions given by the author, I completed each chapter with admiration. There is a stage, midway through, where I think the author starts to drift off from his initial direction but soon seems to recollect it all back together. It is filled with insightful, legitimate stories of people who made it big by following the principles contained within this book. It does not seem to imply that these actual successful people used the actual book to become who there were -since the book was published after some of these events- but more so that the book itself is a collection of the way these successful people thought and acted to achieve their successes. I truly believe anyone, of all ages, of any industry can benefit greatly from reading this book and more so if they read it in the way that the author initially directs them to. A great and entertaining read but even more of a greatly inspiring and motivating lesson.
