A Review of Think and Grow Rich
Napoleon Hill’s book, first published in 1937, has opened up the mind of millions of people around the world. This remarkable book reveals the psychological secrets of how fortunes are made. Rich people think differently from poor people and their wealth is a result of the way they feel, act, and live in the world. Hill reached this conclusion by interviewing almost 500 of the most financially successful people of his time, including Andrew Carnegie, Henry Ford and Thomas A. Edison.
Think and Grow Rich created a genre in self improvement literature, with many business authors now talking about how wealth is a mental attitude that leads to good fortune. The desire for a better life stimulates ingenuity as well as an iron resolve to persist in following a vision despite relentless adversity.
Hill’s book reveals that the secret of going from rags to riches is within–in the mind and heart. Only after this is fully realized and embraced can one attract riches. Wealthy self-made men often started out with little education, financial resources, or business contacts and opportunities. Relying only on vision, grit and a single-minded focus, they were able to overcome apparently insurmountable odds. A classic example is Henry Ford, a car mechanic who created one of the largest fortunes of his time by initiating the birth of the car industry.
Packed With Life-Changing Insights
Think And Grow Rich teaches many profound lessons about how to be successful in life and business.
The discovery Hill made was that a positive mental attitude, regardless of adversity, was enough to change a person’s destiny from one of squalor to one of splendor. When there is a will, a way will be found. What you believe inside will be achieved outside. Destiny is not a result of things happening to you, but your own perception of what is possible–regardless of the way things might appear to be.
The reader learns that the difference between a goal and a dream is that a goal is a vision with a deadline; that the measure of real intelligence is action; and that all achievements and riches are a result of an idea brought to fulfillment.
Ultimately, it’s imagination alone that makes all the difference to your life. Imagination is the workshop of your mind. It is the place where you can forge ideas and ideals that will transform into a life of wealth and achievement.
Additionally, good fortune comes to a person who never gives up, who is willing to pay the price for success and who has a singular burning desire to accomplish something great.
