Synopsis from www.wikipedia.com

Think and Grow Rich is a motivational personal development and self-help book written by Napoleon Hill. It was inspired by a suggestion from Scottish-American businessman Andrew Carnegie. While the title implies that this book deals only with achieving monetary wealth, the author explains that the philosophy taught in the book can be used to help individuals succeed in all lines of work, and to do or be almost anything they want in this world.

For instance, Jim Murray (sportswriter) wrote that Think and Grow Rich was credited for Ken Norton’s boxing upset of Muhammad Ali in 1973. The Reverend Charles Stanley writes “I began to apply the principles of (Think and Grow Rich) to my endeavors as a pastor, and I discovered they worked!” The book was first published in 1937 during the Great Depression. At the time of Hill’s death in 1970, Think and Grow Rich had sold 20 million copies. It remains the biggest seller of Napoleon Hill’s books – a perennial best-seller after 70 years (BusinessWeek Magazine’s Best-Seller List ranked Think and Grow Rich as the sixth best-selling paperback business book 70 years after it was first published). Think and Grow Rich is listed in John C. Maxwell’s A Lifetime “Must Read” Books List.

CHRIS’ REVIEW

It is hard to argue with the fact that this book is responsible for more millionaires than any other book as it was written by interviewing the 504 richest people in the world at the time. It has also in the top ten all time most sold books. Written in 1937, naturally some of the language is old fashioned but the message is at true today as ever. Most people who read this book read it again as it certainly has a lot of messages that will appeal at different times in your life. The interesting thing about the book is that it does not talk about money but instead the mindset.
