there are other more current books out that repeat Mr. Hill's message, The Secret's Power of Attraction for example, but to get the historical perspectives that this book provides and to realize that all the information we need to change our lives has been around forever is powerful and INSPIRING!
I was really skeptical about this one before reading it. Just another success story or something, I thought. Boy, was I wrong ! It's much more than that.
It brightened up my life, urged me to grow and think positive. This was the Big Bang for me.
I'm glad I read it!
The first time I read Think and Grow Rich, I literally felt bullet proof! Even though at the time I was on an out of town visit with a very limited budget, I was walking around a ritzy mall thinking, “I could have anything in here that I wanted”! Powerful stuff, to be sure, but then I got sidetracked. My life got in the way and I made the mistake of not applying the principles that I learned in the book.
Then - in what has since turned into a frequent habit of doing something sensible - I picked it up and read it again!
I have since found my life's calling and there are literally not enough hours in any given day for me to do everything that I now have the power to do.
Next on the list: Create a 26 hour day!
READ THIS BOOK!
This book has wisdom within its pages for those who are open to it. Your mind must be open to learn how to manifest your desires into reality- money. This book has given me the encouragement to pursue my dreams. Mr. Hill spent years analyzing 'successful' people and reveals his 'formula for success' in every page of the book. Here are a few of my favorite parts…

“The subconscious mind is the intermediary, which translates one's prayers into terms which Infinite Intelligence can recognize, presents the message, and brings back the answer in the form of a definite plan or idea for procuring the object of the prayer. Understand this principle, and you will know why were words read from a prayer book cannot, and will never serve as an agency of communication between the mind of man and Infinite Intelligence.” –page 183
” Worry is a state of mind based upon fear. It works slowly, but persistently. It is insidious and subtle. Step by step it “digs itself in” until it paralyzes one's reasoning faculty, destroys self-confidence and initiative. Worry is a form of sustained fear caused by indecision; therefore it is a state of mind which can be controlled.” —page 219
”Without doubt, the most common weakness of all human beings is the habit of leaving their minds open to the negative influence of other people. This weakness is all the more damaging, because most people do not recognize that they are cursed by it, and many who acknowledge it, neglect or refuse to correct the evil until in becomes an uncontrollable part of their daily habits.” —page 223
“If I had the courage to see myself as I really am, I would find out what is wrong with me, and correct it. Then I might have a chance to profit from my mistakes and learn something from the experience of others, for I know that there is something wrong with me, or I would now be where I would have been if I had spent more time analyzing my weaknesses, and less time building alibis to cover them.” –page 232
“No man is ever whipped, until he quits—-in his own mind.” —page 83
”Memories of love never pass. They linger, guide, and influence long after the source of stimulation has faded. There is nothing new in this. Every person who has been moved by genuine love knows that it leaves enduring traces upon the human heart. The effect of love endures, because love is spiritual in nature. The man who cannot be stimulated to great heights of achievement by love, is hopeless—he is dead, though he may seem to live.” —page 172-173
“Life is a checkerboard, and the player opposite you is time. If you hesitate before moving, or neglect to move promptly, your men will be wiped out off the board by time. You are playing against a partner who will not tolerate indecision!” –page 232
I hope that others will learn as much as I have from this book!
Thank you Napoleon Hill!
There are a great number of books out there today all talking about the law of atttraction. But Hill was one of the first authors several years ago to present this information in an easy to understand format.
A must have for anyone looking to make changes in any part of their life.
