Think and Grow Rich by Napoleon Hill

I’ve heard that this book has been referred to as the “bible for success.” This actually triggered my curiosity because it means that all the founding principles of success will be in it. Also, it has become top of my mind especially when influential and successful people in my life say, “It’s a must read if you are going to be in business.” 

Now, imagine spending 20 plus years on a project, traveling all over the world, and documenting interviews from hundreds of successful people. That sound a bit overwhelming, right? 

 Great news! Mr. Napoleon Hill did it for all of us.Napoleon Hill was a journalist and writer who was called in to speak to Andrew Carnegie who was one of the richest people in history. Andrew said I will open the door to the 500 richest people in America so you can interview them, take all their information and put it into a series of books to help other young people be successful much faster. But I’m not going to pay you a penny. What will you do? A few seconds later napoleon Hill replied with ok I’ll do it. The result of this was a book called think and grow rich. In the book ‘Think and Grow Rich’.

Napoleon Hill focuses on how the psychological power of the brain and mind can impact upon gaining both your career achievements and personal satisfaction. The lifelong work put into this,the power of preserving words, and gifting this knowledge to whomever has the desire to learn is priceless. Think and Grow Rich is readily available to anyone who wants to breathe success into their life. It is “the representation” of learning from the successful people who have paved the way. 

After reading this book, I’ve become aware of other publications where the ideas taught had already been discussed in Mr. Hill’s writing. That confirms to me the power and importance of this book. What I love most is Mr. Hill will hold your hand and walk you through the process, and all you have to do is follow and embrace the journey to your success.
