Think and Grow Rich
Written in 1937, ‘Think and Grow Rich’ by Napoleon Hill still has as much resonance with entrepreneurs today as it did on its first day of publication. Often cited as one of the most important financial books ever written, this offering from Napoleon Hill goes far beyond monetary gain and teaches readers how to live a fulfilling life by altering their thought processes and becoming a beacon for positive change.
Inspired by his talks with entrepreneur and business magnate Andrew Carnegie, the book is a result of a study of individuals who had amassed personal fortunes, which spanned more than twenty years. Through this incentive project, Hill was able to isolate the habits that drive financial success, and develop 13 steps that must be adhered to in the pursuit of professional excellence. The author’s enthusiasm leaps out of the pages, and each of these steps are outlined in ‘Think and Grow Rich’ in an accessible yet informative style, meaning that you don’t just learn what to do, but also how to do it and perhaps most importantly, why.
This book is an ideal starting point for anyone interested in financial and personal development. The book stresses, and rightly so, that there are no short cuts to success – it takes hard work. However this book lays out the foundations to help you achieve a successful life, attract greater opportunities and influence the world around you.
Upon the book’s release, Hill stated that the goal of ‘Think and Grow Rich’ was to bring the keys to creating a successful life to the average person, so that anyone – regardless of their level of education, professional background or social status – could build a prosperous future. As such the book is a must-read for absolutely anyone looking for self-improvement, offering some of the most impactful, perspective changing life lessons that have ever been available in print.
