Think and Grow Rich by Napoleon Hill

Has anyone read this landmark bestseller? I am thinking of buying it but I want to get your input first. Thanks.

I did'nt read this one but i bought "Don't Think and be Gorgeous" by the same author and i'm really happy about it.It changed my life !!
Go and get it.
 
I bought Do Nothing and Become Who You Are by Guenter Drückeberger and it changed my life by not making me want to change my life.
 
I have How To Lose Friends and Alienate People, but it didn't teach me anything I didn't already know. By the way, have I told you all lately how much I think you suck?
 
I read the book two decades ago when I was into metaphysics and I liked it at the time (because I was an idiot) but now that I have abandoned New Age pseudoscience, I think the ideas in the book are quackery.

I think the only person that will grow rich with that book is Napoleon Hill.

Agreed.:)
 
Aqua Blue, yes and here are my thoughts

As a freshman in college (1960) I was assigned three Books, Think and Grow Rich, The Master Key and The Science of Getting Rich.

I had never experienced so many Aha moments, I took the principles to heart and started my businesses while getting my degree. It was easy to find talent, heck the University was full of Hungry Professors who possessed Knowledge, and were cheap "to hire"

It's remarkable that you're still reading them over 40 years later. Congratulations on an entirely non-suspicious first post.

"you all" he?

or "you all" us?
 
If I ever read the book, it was so many years ago that I feel free to say anything I want about it.

The title is misleading. Think and Grow Rich implies Think, and (thus) Grow Rich. Actually the author gives advice about two separate and unrelated areas:

Think!
Grow Rich!
 
THINK (and Grow rich)

Thank you for responding to my post.
As I have shared with many, the emphasis of Hill's Book is to THINK..

The thought is the powerful Force in the world and the
only "thing" we, as humans, have complete Control of,
only if we give ourselves permission to use it.

Or we can only External sources (Society) THINK FOR US.

I have always been of the impression The Rich Portion is
a natural effect of the cause of proper THINKING,
at least that is what has
worked for ME

Being Rich does not only relate to the accumulation of Material
possession (money). If you study carefully, Hill is constantly
pointing to the Fact the "500" were not motivated by Money
in the their growth and development. In most cases they were
motivated by a desire to Improve something for somebody.

Hill actually received a lot of his Philosophy form reading
Charles Haanel's The Master Key, as a young man.
He actually wrote Haanel a letter April 1919, giving credit
to Chapter 4 of the Master Key in being responsible for Hill's
securing a $105,000 annual PART TIME contract of employment.

And of course Haanel had influence from Wally Wattles' The Science of Getting Rich

Again we invite you to join us on our Live Talk Show discussing
the practical application of these works in Daily Life.

Ok, they have a Kindle Sample. I just ordered it. I can read the first 2 chapters. Isn't this similar to that knucklehead that wrote "The Secret" She made millions rewriting about the "Law of Attraction"
 
Yes she did.....

"she made Millions writing about The Law of Attraction"...

And the gibberish has stagnated millions

Unfortunately most have passed up the Original,
easy to read, not politically correct treatise on discussing
The Law of Attraction...

The Master Key by Charles Haanel.

It is so simple to comprehend and apply.
Just takes a little Effort.

There are FREE copies of The Master Key Everywhere
