This is a wonderful book. What you are supposed to do is read a chapter a week. I had to plow right through the whole thing.

What Mr. Hill teaches, among other things is that you have to decide Exactly what you want, make a plan and go for it. He teaches about 40 other things too, but that is the main point.

Mr. Hill uses excellent examples from personal experience how to accomplish great things.

I'm sure you will love this book if you love success/self help type books.

This book is easy to follow and simple to read. Each chapter is a weeks worth of lessons. Just read a chapter, put the book down, and practice the methods, it's that simple! I have a whole new outlook on my career, and my worth!

Simply one of the BEST books i have ever held in my hands.

I did not really understand Hill's Think and Grow Rich, until i read this book.

This book is 4-real. Read it, you will be bigger, better, and happier because you did.

Napolean Hill talks about attitude, outlook and how they influence a person's destiny. He's right and communicates this message to anyone who will listen. This book also has updated material more relevant to our time. If anyone is serious about changing their circumstance then this book is a good place to start.

This is another rehash of the great writing of Napoleon Hill. They say it's by Napoleon Hill but very little is Hill's writing. They just write something for each week and reference TAGR. This book is actually written under the Napoleon Hill Foundation. They are just using Hill's name to generate and sell more products. They don't seem to be about promoting Napoleon Hill, just products they put his name on. The only thing actually buy Napoleon Hill will be some of the quotes and stories lifted from Think and Grow Rich.

Though the title says "Grow Rich" and most people will instantly think in financial terms, this book really gives you nuggets of wisdom to bring you all of Life's "Riches", from better values, better relationships, better self-confidence, etc.

I loved the chapter formats meant to be one lesson per week for the year, though I read straight through the book. I still go back to the book often and read just one or two of the chapters just to keep it fresh and remind myself to stay on the right track.

Napoleon Hill is the recognized expert on all things success. In this book, Hill reveals how you can grow rich, and keep your mental act together at the same time. Typical of Hill's writing style, the book is easy to read, and features numerous examples from his real life experience. Specifically, this book covers, among many other things:

Why some succeed and others don't.
Helping your children succeed.
Overcoming fear
Living your own life


This book focuses on achieving success through positive relationships and a healthy mental attitude. For more information on achieving financial success, you may want to read "The 17 Principles of Creating Wealth," by Phillip Collinsworth.

I read the weekly content every day for the whole week, which gives me time to reflect on what I've learned as part of my daily critical thinking exercise. Although I am only up to week five, I am extremely excited to see what unfolds in the remaining 47 weeks. The content each week is only 1 1/2 to 2 pages long and takes less than 5 minutes to read. Each day I glean something new from the material and work it into my daily living. I recommend this book to anyone who wants to achieve a greater understanding of success - not just financial, but all areas of living.

Highly motivated people will love this book. It is a must read for anyone that I meet who wants a little more out of life. It is hard not to get bogged down with all of life's challenges - and to loose sight of what we all want. This book will put things in perspective. It will also provide you with a guidebook for success that can be used over and over.

I've read the book several times now, I find value with each reading. One note, I get so motivated by reading it, that I cannot read just one passage a week. It is broken down into 52 segments to be read at different times through the year. I simply could not do that, I had to read it in one setting.

I hope you will find as much value as I did. It forced be to get up and do something magnificent with my life. I sincerely hope that you will find motivation from the text - go out and achieve something remarkable.

**** HIGHLY RECOMMENDED ****

This book is not about money but I can certainly see how people who would incorporate the knowledge in this book could get ahead. For me this was a book of "Golden Rules", which if followed, would definitely bring riches to ones life. I don't know of a single person I wouldn't recommend this book to. Get it, you won't be disappointed.
