Book Review: Think and Grow Rich
Written by R. A. Stewart
Think and Grow Rich by Napoleon Hill is one of the world’s best selling self help books and has been for over 70 years.
Napoleon Hill had spent twenty years compiling information for the book and during that time he interviewed the most successful men in history to learn how they acquired their fortunes.
He reveals the one sure way to overcome all obstacles, achieve any ambition, and bring success to any life.
It is all a matter of knowing what you want and having the desire to make your goals come true.
The book is not one that advises you where to invest your money but rather develops the kind of traits which have made others successful.
The subjects covered in this book are:
Thoughts are Things: Using the power of your mind to get whatever you desire.
Desire: Transforming your desire into concrete action
Faith: How you can rise to limitless heights if only you had faith.
Auto Suggestion: Train your mind to get amazing results with the use of auto suggestion
Specialized knowledge: Your education is what you make it, and you can find the knowledge that takes you from where you are to where you want to go.
Imagination: This is what is required to turn your dreams into reality.
Organized Planning: How to use your master mind for success.
Decision: The ability to make decisions quickly will help you to achieve more.
Persistence: The ability to persevere is important.
Power of the Master Mind: This secret involves choosing mentors who are where you want to be.
Sex Transmutation: How women help men become successful, and how to take advantage of the ancient truth.
The Subconscious Mind: How your subconscious mind waits like a sleeping giant to back up every plan and purpose.
The Brain: How to use your brain more effectively.
The Sixth Sense: How wisdom opens the door to the road to wealth.
The Six Ghosts of Fear: Take inventory of yourself, and see if any remnants of fear stand in your way.
Weaknesses
While the book has its merits it also has its weaknesses, and one of these is that it does not take into account the economic landscape of today and the barriers which many people face in their day to day lives.
Conclusion
Think and Grow Rich is a classic for a reason and while it is no magic formula for success the steps to success explained in the book are a starting point for those wanting to learn the mental aspects of success.
