Its ok book and is on loop

Reviewed in the United States on August 27, 2023

Book is basically saying to think and keep thinking but also take action on it from start of the first chapter. Everything keeps repeating but with different examples.

Exceptional book but awful tiny gray font

The teachings of Think and Grow Rich is valuable but, someone too clever decided to use a tiny gray font. The strain to focus and be able to read it, is terrible. I definitely recommend the book for its teachings but, at the same time, suggest to keep in mind that the font used makes the reading extenuating.

This book gives you a new look on life’s circumstances. After the first chapter I could already tell that my mindset was changing. It’s a must read book , I definitely recommend.

Brought something Ive missed for a long time

Let me first start not writing about the book, but my own story.

I am a freshly graduated civil engineer, 23 years old, with exceptional academic skills. For a long time, of about 5 or so years I havent felt any sort of passion at all. I achieve well in university? People achieve much less and jump out of joy but I feel... Nothing. I graduate with an exceptional gpa. My parents are proud but me? I feel nothing.

I went through rough things in life that have sucked the passion out of me. In addition, I was unemployed since my few months ago graduation. With so much time on my hand, my brain starts up the routine negative thinking. I look for employment but I dont put any passion into it. I try to lose weight but I feel 0 motivation or passion about it. Of course, this leads me to the point of not caring.

One day, on thursday to be exact I was going to the movies with my little brother. On the way I thought I'd stop by the book store. While looking I found Napoleons book. I read about it before but I never felt the need to buy it. Curious, I read the preface. My only thoughts at the time was "This author is making ridiculous claims. I mean get rich based on a handful of tips? Duh". The book was ridiculously priced because I live far from the US. It cost about $20. Amazon kindle on the other hand was only $1 so I thought what the heck whats $1. Let me see what this books all about. Coming from someone who read a couple of motivational books before, I did not have much hopes but I thought I owe it to myself to attempt a serious read before judging an author who sold millions of copies and so I did that. Boy was I in for a surprise.

While reading the preface and the introductionary chapter, I started to feel this book is the real deal. My goal was not to get rich, it was to take care of my health. Thats the most important thing to me right now, followed by getting employed. By the end of the 1st chapter about desire, I felt something had changed in me. You see, napoleons book is about getting rich, but it is so much more than that. I felt the passion I had lost had finally come back to me. I developed a burning desire to lose my weight and get employed. By the end of that day, I promised myself I would not just apply to a job tomorrow, I will land an interview with that company.

Following my immense desire, I felt unnatural confidence creep to me. As if the world cant stop me getting this job interview. I went to a company and I boldely asked to meet a senior engineer of theirs thaf I met once for a university project. "He is on lunch break" said the receptionist and I calmly replied "I will wait". 10 minutes later he is back into the office and I say to him: "Mr Mohamed, I would like to talk to you for a few minutes in private". He takes me to the conference room. I opened with "I remember one thing you told me a year ago about integrity". Long story short, we talked for 50 minutes. At the end he asked me what my career plans are and I told him "I would like to work for you and learn from you". He offered me his own personal recommendation for the job.

Going back home I felt like jumping out of my seat with joy. I was ridiculously happy and yelling like a mad man. It was not because I was getting a recommendation from a guy who does not even know me, but more about the fact that I satisfied the burning desire I developed from reading the first chapter of the book. I finally felt passionate about something again.

End of the story? Nope. A day after that meeting (2 days since reading the first chapter), I got a phone call at 9 am. The general manager of that company wants to meet me at 10:30 am. I went to that meeting today and although I do not know the outcome, I feel that the same approach will solve whatever problem I face and I will get whatever I want. The mind knows what to do most of the time it just needs the hunger and drive to do it.

Although Napoleon passed away a long time ago, I only wish he could have renamed his book to "Think and Grow in whatever the hell you want". From the bottom of my heart, thank you.

I was recommended this book in one of my Facebook friends live and I listened to him and decided to buy myself this and it definitely helped me to understand myself a whole lot better and I’m so greatful that the people that put this together as well as the sellers the book was in great condition and I believe this is the second book I bought since I gifted the first one to someone who looked like they needed it for a change in their life! 💜
