After six years of college and 32 years of running my small business, I can say that this is the best book that I ever read. That is except the bible. It helped me at my 65 years of life make sense of all the experiences that I went through. It helped me set higher goals, and then explained how to get there. I bought a copy for my 25 year old son to help him organize his plan for achievement and his path to success. Matthew Hummel,

Granted it is an old book written by an author who is long gone. But the lessons and observations compiled from interviews of 500 successful men of his time are still relevant today. The writing style is a tad tedious to read in this era of fast food, fast read generation. But if you could even scan through the book, I am sure that you will find nuggets of wisdom from these great entrepreneurs and the lessons they were willing to share. Although Napolean Hill intended it to be something of a manual that readers can follow and use, each chapter can stand on its own, if only one takes the trouble to digest what he has to teach. The most poignant and moving lesson to me was the lesson he shared with his son - who was born without ears. In spite of this, they managed to overcome the odds and even turned it to an advantage rather than a disability! Another thought-provoking (and a little funny) piece was the analysis of why most men succeed in their later years - that these men in their younger years were distracted by a potent driving force - sex! Overall, a good book worth reading. But more importantly, the reader needs to see how Hill's observations can be applied to his/her own life and thence, benefit from it.Read full review
I'm highly impressed by this writer. I am applying everything this writer says in this book into my life and I can see things are going very beautifully in my life daily. I wish I would have found this book 20 years ago. But I'm still happily happy to fine this at this age. I'm 56 and I can see myself that my life will be totally different in 10 years from now. Thank you Napoleon Hill. We love you and god bless you.

"Think and Grow Rich" is not, in reality, a book at all, it is in fact, a way to change your life for the better. If one reads this book and tries to apply the principles described in it one may find many roadblocks. In doing so, but if one keeps reading this book over and over as well as studying the principles throughout the rest of their life they will most likely overcome all obstacles then finally succeed in whichever field or career or missions they have in life. The hard part will be to read this book, decide who you are now, who you want to be as well as finding a path to overcoming the obstacles you face. An example of what I speak of is this. Mr. Hill speaks of forming masterminds which are groups that can help you as you provide a talent or service that helps them. This idea is wonderful. However, if you are isolated or home-bound you have no way to form these masterminds as you may not even have any friends at such time. This book, however, can still help the home-bound person in as much as you can apply other principles in it that may lead to you creating a new product. It may lift your spirits enough to get you to find ways to no longer be home-bound or you may decide to start a home or online business which will most likely lead to success for you. This could take days, months or even years to help you with your life. However, One believes that this book will in fact help you as well as myself. This book could be one of the most important books you ever buy in your life and yes, you should buy it. If you have ever wanted to be successful then this could be the road map you seek.

This is the book that started the movement on Law of Attraction. All the others, such "The Secret" borrow from Think and Grow Rich, but are not capable of the full formula due to copyright laws. I would suggest this book to all entrepreneurs and those seeking success in their reach for their dreams and a better life.
