Description

Think and Grow Rich has been called the "Granddaddy of All Motivational Literature." It was the first book to boldly ask, "What makes a winner?" The man who asked and listened for the answer, Napoleon Hill, is now counted in the top ranks of the world's winners himself. The most famous of all teachers of success spent "a fortune and the better part of a lifetime of effort" to produce the "Law of Success" philosophy that forms the basis of his books and that is so powerfully summarized in this one.In the original Think and Grow Rich, published in 1937, Hill draws on stories of Andrew Carnegie, Thomas Edison, Henry Ford, and other millionaires of his generation to illustrate his principles. In the updated version, Arthur R. Pell, Ph.D., a nationally known author, lecturer, and consultant in human resources management and an expert in applying Hill's thought, deftly interweaves anecdotes of how contemporary millionaires and billionaires, such as Bill Gates, Mary Kay Ash, Dave Thomas, and Sir John Templeton, achieved their wealth. Outmoded or arcane terminology and examples are faithfully refreshed to preclude any stumbling blocks to a new generation of readers. Read more

    • What Napoleon Hill was Wrong About...
The media could not be loaded. I first read this when I was like 19 or 20 years old, I'm 31 now. I've heard people say that this book kind of grows with you. I read it again and I think I actually got more out of it the first time I read it. I'll explain why later... I'll be honest, I read this book about 11 years ago and, I've done a lot of thinking (and doing) since then but I really have not grown rich. So you may want to just stop watching this now if you were hoping to hear from someone who's made a bunch of money as a result of reading Think & Grow Rich. However, where it's really ROI'd for me is in rich life experiences... I've spent years traveling around the world living in interesting places.. Having control of my time. I spent pretty close to 100% of my my time doing the things I want to do. Finding meaningful work. Finding that intersection of what I'm good at, what I'm passionate about and what people are willing to handsomely compensate me for. Having interesting relationships with a diversity of people. And it's really given me an abundance of the two things that I have always I valued most, which are... 1. An adventurous life of novelty. 2. Being a thinker. Even when I was very young I knew I wanted to be a writer, I knew I wanted to be a philosopher. With the application of the principals in this book I've accomplished that. There are some things in this book that I actually think Napoleon Hill was wrong about... Inaccurate Predictions He makes some inaccurate predictions... "Crooners and light chatter artists who now pollute the air with wisecracks and silly giggles, will go the way of all light timbers, and their places will be taken by real artists who interpret carefully planned programed which have been designed to service the minds of men, as well as provide entertainment." Napoleon Hill would be spinning in his grave if he could see how bad art has gotten; a Nicki Minaj music video, a rude comedian perform or a DJ being cheered on by hundreds of people in a nightclub just for pressing buttons on their laptop. He was obviously a capitalist but there's a couple of passages that reveals some proto-socialism actually, for example The relationship of employer and employee, or of leader and follower, in the future, will be one of mutual cooperation, based upon an equitable division of the profits of business. In the future, the relationship of employer and employee will be more like a partnership than it has been in the past. (p. 67) He also writes "in the future, business will be conducted by methods that will require no pressure. " I don't know how you would quantify how cut throat on a whole the business world is. I guess businessmen don't hire mercenaries to break employee strikes anymore and there are a whole lot more self employed people now, but I think Napoleon Hill was, like a lot of great thinkers, a bit deluded by this idea of a fair and benign business world. This is contrary to human nature. He also had an unrealistic optimism about the future of journalism, writing "New leaders will be required in the field of Journalism. Newspapers of the future, to be conducted successfully, must be divorced from “special privilege” and relieved from the subsidy of advertising. They must cease to be organs of propaganda for the interests which patronize their advertising columns. " Again he'd be spinning in his grave if he could see the nepotism that typifies the main stream media today. Psuedo-Spirituality The book is rife with psuedo-spirituality Moreover, men know that this living, pulsating, vibratory energy which permeates every atom of matter, and fills every niche of space, connects every human brain with every other human brain. What reason have men to believe that this same energy does not connect every human brain with Infinite Intelligence? (p. 146) The phrase "infinite intelligence" appears 40 times in the book faith is the only agency through which the cosmic force of Infinite Intelligence can be harnessed and used by man. (p. 20) The notion that there is this ethereal none human intelligence, that inspires invention and genius as opposed to it just being a combination of hard work, cleverness, and inherent human ability is interesting. It's an idea that great writers and thinkers have espoused for a long time, yet it is totally none falsifiable - you can't really prove or disprove it. So it's pretty wu-wu, Napoleon Hill also states... Mental telepathy is a reality. Thoughts pass from one mind to another, voluntarily, whether or not this fact is recognized by either the person releasing the thoughts, or the persons who pick up those thoughts. (p. 179) There may actually be some scientific basis for this. You might remember in the video game Rainbow 6 you could use a heartbeat sensor to detect where other people where. This is based upon a real device used by special forces, that works by detecting the electro-magnetic field that the heart gives off. Humans seem to have a keen ability to pickup what the electro-magnetic heart fields of those around us are saying. This bio-phenomenon is likely responsible for that effect where you sense the emotions of people around you without some really obvious clue. On Faith There's a lot of emphasis on faith "faith is the starting point of all accumulation of riches!" This chapter was maybe a little difficult for me because I'm not a big fan of faith, I'm an empiricist. “faith is a state of mind, and that it may be induced by self-suggestion.” Flowstates__ On Sex The most interesting chapter of the book is, I think, on sex There are other mind stimulants, some of which have been listed, but no one of them, nor all of them combined, can equal the driving power of sex. (p. 132) Among the greatest, and most powerful of these stimuli is the urge of sex. When harnessed and transmuted, this driving force is capable of lifting men into that higher sphere of thought which enables them to master the sources of worry and petty annoyance which beset their pathway on the lower plane. (p. 129) I'll say something that will perhaps be a little controversial; I think this chapter is just for men. I have no idea how sex transmutation would work for women in the way that Napoleon Hill talks about it working for men.. Maybe someone can tell me? On Love Love, Romance, and Sex are all emotions capable of driving men to heights of super achievement. Love is the emotion which serves as a safety valve, and insures balance, poise, and constructive effort. (p. 136) He talks about love quiet a bit in the book and it should be noted that the popular definition of love has changed a lot since this book was written. In the past love was a word that signified an intense emotional commitment to something greater than oneself expressed through acts of service. Now love just means like this intoxicated feeling, that you fall into and fall out of randomly, that makes you act stupid. It's this insatiable desire for someone or something that makes you irrational. It's this thing that people say to each other for our own emotional validation. I really think modern day love, does more harm than good. On Persistence "The better portion of all sales I have made, were made after people had said ‘NO’.” This reminded me of what's called The Four Times Rule which comes from a pickup artist. The rule is the you are allowed to approach someone you find attractive four times. Which is really a good rule for anything in life, if you want something persist in asking for it as many as four times. On Education He would have been totally dismayed with all the free education available today. He writes that it's important that we pay cash for our personal development "Being asked to pay, whether the student makes good grades or poor, has the effect of causing one to follow through with the course when he would otherwise drop it." He goes on to criticize the Public library system "there is one astounding weakness to this marvelous system— it is free! " Which provides an interesting commentary on a current hot button political issue - what Napolean Hill would have thought of free college? He probably would have thought it was a totally asinine notion. On Failure He lists 30 common causes of failure, there's one that really jumped out at me, which Napoleon also emphasizes Wrong selection of a mate in marriage. This a most common cause of failure. (p. 81) If you've ever read the classic book The Millionaire Next Door, in which they really exhaustively analyze the average millionaire in the United States, you know that one of the biggest factors in becoming wealthy is selection of spouse. He goes on to list another common cause of failure... Intemperance. The most damaging forms of intemperance are connected with eating, strong drink, and sexual activities. Overindulgence in any of these is fatal to success. (p. 82) It's interesting that temperance or Intemperance is a word that is almost completely forgotten by our society. When I was a younger man I seemed to attract a lot of friends who were bad hedonists, completely intemperate. They were fun to be friends with but over time I saw how self destructive their overindulgent impulsiveness was and how it put me at risk. Now I'm really repulsed by people that display intemperance. Invisible Counselors This is something pretty cool that can be added to your meditation practice... Every night, over a long period of years, I held an imaginary Council meeting with this group whom I called my “Invisible Counselors.” (p. 154) The procedure was this. Just before going to sleep at night, I would shut my eyes, and see, in my imagination, this group of men seated with me around my Council Table. Here I had not only an opportunity to sit among those whom I considered to be great, but I actually dominated the group, by serving as the Chairman. (pp. 154-155) I now go to my imaginary counselors with every difficult problem which confronts me and my clients. The results are often astonishing, although I do not depend entirely on this form of Counsel. (p. 159) My counselors would be Donald Trump, Stefan Molynuex (A philosopher) and Claus von Stauffenberg (the Nazi who tried to kill Hitler). Who would your invisible counselors be? On Aging? Napoleon Hill recommends that instead of being disparaging of getting older we should [express] gratitude for having reached the age of wisdom and understanding. (p. 176) I totally agree, I've really enjoyed getting older. When I was a quiet young man I had this interesting relationship with a Korean business woman, she told me something interesting; Getting older only sucks if you are stupid. If you are stupid years keep passing by and you don't advance in life, life doesn't get any better. Life actually gets worse. You become increasingly self delusional and bitter. However, if you are smart life just keeps getting better and better over time. That's totally been my experience. I said that I think I got more out of this book the first time I read it, that's because when I was younger this book gave me a lot of audacity to try things that were really far outside of the norm. It gave me the audacity to start a challenging career in sales when my peers were all starting college. It gave me the audacity to quiet my comfortable job in corporate America and start a business. Where I see a lot of value in this book is in what I will call temporal self auditing. This book contains at least a couple of lengthy questionnaires that really force you to face yourself, look at inner beliefs, outer behaviors and your position in life. This allows you to audit yourself and in the future you can look back and see how your beliefs and behaviors have changed. I've done this over the years and interestingly what you really see is that over longer periods of time your beliefs and deep desires do really manifest in the world. ... show more

    • A great book to help you achieve a good mindset on getting wealthy.
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. ... show more

    • There is a secret in there indeed!
Most of the philosophies in this book are from 19th century but they are still so relevant.. we humans think we’ve evolved but the guy sitting in our head deep within is still the same.. only the material around us has evolved. One of the main things this book talks about over and over again is about having faith, desire, plan and persistence to focus on the input and the value it would yield.. I think there is a secret in here and it requires intentional action and follow through to get results. I am using one of the gifts from the book to help me advance in my career to finally break through the chains and make a move towards the financial freedom. I’ll come back and add an update within next 6-12 months on my experience. Happy reading! ... show more

    • Worth a read!
It’s going to be hard for people to approach this if they don’t already have an “evolved mindset” and seen the power of your thoughts work! While I didn’t agree with EVERYTHING in this book, it has a lot of great information to help you get out of a negative mindset and approach your goals with more positivity and a new perception. It has the capability to light a fire under you ! If you’re a pessimist you’ll naturally cling to only the things you don’t like about it instead of taking away anything useful. For instance, the part about me needing to be “sexed” properly lol. I don’t agree that anyone else at that capacity has the power to increase my success , I think that comes down to a sense of self in connecting to your own sexuality. But still a similar enough thought. I’d say about 85% of the book is helpful and I will probably recommend to others ! ... show more
