About this audiobook
Think and Grow Rich has been called the “Granddaddy of All Motivational Literature.” It was the first book to boldly ask, “What makes a winner?” The man who asked and listened for the answer, Napoleon Hill, is now counted in the top ranks of the world’s winners himself.
The most famous of all teachers of success spent “a fortune and the better part of a lifetime of effort” to produce the “Law of Success” philosophy that forms the basis of his books and that is so powerfully summarized in this one.
In the original Think and Grow Rich, published in 1937, Hill draws on stories of Andrew Carnegie, Thomas Edison, Henry Ford, and other millionaires of his generation to illustrate his principles. In the updated version, Arthur R. Pell, Ph.D., a nationally known author, lecturer, and consultant in human resources management and an expert in applying Hill’s thought, deftly interweaves anecdotes of how contemporary millionaires and billionaires, such as Bill Gates, Mary Kay Ash, Dave Thomas, and Sir John Templeton, achieved their wealth. Outmoded or arcane terminology and examples are faithfully refreshed to preclude any stumbling blocks to a new generation of readers.
Napoleon Hill
Napoleon Hill was born in 1883 in a one-room cabin on the Pound River in Wise County, Virginia. He is the author of the motivational classics The Laws of Success and Think and Grow Rich. Hill passed away in November 1970 after a long and successful career writing, teaching, and lecturing about the principles of success. His lifework continues under the direction of the Napoleon Hill Foundation.

- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Think And Grow Rich is phenomenal and life changing for me and everyone I know that has read it! I recommend it to all of my friends and family. It's a must read at least once! Napoleon Hill was very ahead of his time. Once I read it I wished I had knew about it and read it many years ago!
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5This is my bible. If only 51% of America adhered to the teachings of this book, then we truly would be the greatest superpower ever. This is one of those books that I must read annually. In order to go back to basics. I highly recommend everyone read this book and practice the techniques within. It is not just about being financially rich, but also about being rich in areas that matter to you, family, spirituality and living a balanced life.
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5Sensible book for the disciplined heart. The prequel to "The Secret".
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5This is one of my favorite books of all time! I pick it up at least once a year for a refresher. I highly recommend it for anyone who wants to maximize their potential.
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Embarrassed to peruse the self help section? Sorry, but you'll have to! This work has been around since the early 20th century after Napoleon Hill did extensive research and interviews with famous business-people and politicians at the solicitation of Andrew Carnegie. A fun read, but also rooted in philosophy and based on early scientific research and methodology in investigating the human psyche through programming the unconscious by means of consciousness.
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Napoleon Hill, Think and Grow Rich is a Powerful foundation for success. This book exercises tools to help in applying things in my everyday life and business from a practical standpoint. This book will motivate and inspire you. A philosophy, scientific and methodology -- We can do re-programming of the unconscious with means of consciousness.
- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5A great Book, a classic that everyone should read and capitalise on.
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5A classic must read!
- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5I'm listening to this as an audiobook while getting other things done. It was written in 1938 and I don't think has aged well, in regards to writing style. However you can't take a step into positive thinking/learned happiness/learned optimism waters without hearing about this book. It seems to be the primordial well from which all other positive thinking guides spring. So, I'm listening to it mostly as research so I know what the heck everyone is talking about.
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5Definitely useful.
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5The book was written just after The Great Depression of the 1930s, however, much of its advice is still relevant today. There are a few dated areas, but there are small, minor, and far-between. This book is as good today as it was then.
- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5I was interested to read this because it inspired Bad Brains. Makes some good points and reiterates some ideas I've read in other books of the genre.
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Think and Grow Rich is a book to help people create a state of mind that can assist in achieving success. The book offers a number of exercises for the reader to complete to improve success rates. The author provides lists of attributes and attitudes that seem to be common drivers of success and failure for the reader to reflect on.One sound idea is all that one needs to achieve success. Riches begin with a state of mind, with definiteness of purpose. One of the main weaknesses of mankind is the average man's familiarity with the word "impossible." He knows all the rules which will not work. He knows all the things which cannot be done. Know what you want and be determined to stand by that desire until he realized it. Seek expert counsel before giving up. Keep on keeping on, no matter how hard the going may be. This is a lesson that needs to be learned before succeeding.There are a number of principles of success:Desire is the starting point of all achievement. Faith is the visualization of and belief in attainment of desire. Repetition of affirmation of orders to your subconscious mind is the only known method of voluntary development of the emotion of faith. We are what we are, because of the vibrations of thought which we pick up and register, though the stimuli of our daily environment. Auto-suggestion is the medium for influencing the subconscious mind. Specialized knowledge is the personal experience or observations. There are two kind of knowledge - general and specialized. Knowledge will not attract money unless it is organized and intelligently directed through practical plans of action and directed to a definite end. The accumulation of great fortunes calls for power, and power is acquired through highly organized and intelligently directed specialized knowledge, but that knowledge does not, necessarily, have to be in the possession of the man who accumulates the fortune. Specialized knowledge is among the most plentiful and cheapest forms of service which may be had. It pays to know how to purchase knowledge. There is a universal weakness of people - lack of ambition. Specialized knowledge, plus imagination, are the ingredients that go into a successful business. The beginning of a successful business is an idea. A idea is capable of yielding an income far greater than that of the average professional whose education required several years of college. There is no fixed price for sound ideas. Imagination is the workshop of the mind.Organized planning is the crystallization of desire into action. It is not the lawyer who knows the most law, but the one who best prepares his case, who wins. Remember when your plans fail, that temporary defeat is not permanent failure. It may only mean that your plans have not been sound. No man is ever whipped, until he quits -- in his own mind. "Brains" are a form of capital which cannot be permanently depreciated through depressions, nor can this form of capital be stolen or spent. Money is as worthless as a sand dune, until it has been mixed with efficient "brains". Quality, Quantity, Spirit is required for delivering a service. This is commonly called the QQS rating. "Man, know thyself!" If you market merchandise successfully, you must know the merchandise. You should know all of your weaknesses in order that you may either bridge them or eliminate them. This is a free country where every man may think as he pleases, where nearly everybody can live with but little effort, where many may live well without doing and work whatsoever. However, you should know the full truth concerning this freedom of which so many people boast, and so few understand. As great as it is, as far as it reaches, as many privileges as it provides, it does not, and can not bring riches without effort.Decision is the mastery of procrastination. Keep a closed mouth and open ears and eyes. Tell the world what you intend to do, but first show it. Deeds, and not words, are what count most. The sustained effort necessary to induce faith. Persistence is a state of mind, therefore it can be cultivatedPower of the master mind the driving force. Power is essential for success in the accumulation of money. Power may be defined as "organized and intelligently directed knowledge. "Master Mind" may be defined as: coordination of knowledge and effort, in a spirit of harmony, between two of more people, for the attainment of a definite purpose.The Subconscious Mind is the connecting link. Positive and negative emotions can not occupy the mind at the same time. One or the other must dominate. Fears are nothing more than a state of mind. One's state of mind is subject of control and direction. The six fears are: Poverty, Criticism, Ill health, Loss of love of someone, Old age, Death. There can be no compromise between poverty and riches. The two roads that to poverty and riches go in opposite directions.Your business in life is to achieve success. To be successful, you must find peace of mind, acquire the material needs of life, and attain happiness. You may control your own mind, you have the power to feed it whatever thought impulses you choose. With this privileges goes the responsibility of using it constructively. You are the master of your own earthly destiny just as surely as you have the power to control your own thoughts. You may influence, direct, and eventually control your own environment, making life what you want it to be or you may neglect to exercise the privilege that is yours to make, thus casting yourself upon the broad sea of circumstance.Without a doubt, the most common weakness of all human beings is leaving their minds open to negative influence. Mind control is the result of self-discipline and habit. You either control your mind or it controls you. The most practical way of all methods for controlling the mind is the habit of keeping it busy with a definitive purpose, backed by a definite plan.People who do not succeed have one distinguishing trait in common. They know all the reasons for failure, and what they believe to be air-tight alibis to explain away their own lack of achievement. Building alibis is a deeply rooted habit. Habits are difficult to break, especially when they provide justification for something we do. Plato had this truth in mind when he said, " The first and best victory is to conquer self. To be conquered by self is, of all things, the most shameful and vile." Another philosopher had the same thought in mind when he said, " It was a great surprise to me when I discovered that most of the ugliness Is saw in others, was but a reflection of my own nature."Life is a checkerboard, and the player opposite is time. If you hesitate before moving, or neglect to move promptly, your men will be wiped off the board by time. You are playing against a partner who will not tolerate indecision. Previously, you may have had a logical excuse for not having forced life to come through with whatever you asked, but that alibi is not obsolete, because you are in possession of the master key that unlocks the door to life's bountiful riches.
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5This book was, for the most part, very encouraging. I don't agree with the spirituality behind Hills Philosophy, but a lot of what he presents is common sense. Thinking patterns do affect outcomes in people lives and wealthy people tend to think a certain way.
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5The greatest book a man could ever read. Throughly explained the basic principles that successful people live by, the science behind it, and plenty of real success stories that prove it.
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5it's so good. i need to listen 100 more times. I've been putting it off. Now, i can't justify as to why. I'm so glad i finally did it!
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5great read, a must for everyone to read and re-read, awesome book#BOOM #AWESOME #Sweet #LifeByDesign
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Keep reading and listening to this book again and again
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Uma excelente ferramenta pratica para o crescimento pessoal e profissional!!!
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Great self-motivational book which inspires us to be back on track whenever we get depressed. Author depicts a few examples of great personalities who ricocheted strongly after a failure. This book starts with the introduction of a great scientist Edison and great car maker Ford and how they succeeded in their goals by embracing leadership, perseverance and belief in a process.
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Great book, wish i had read the book years earlier, but I've read it now :)
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5An awesome book that helps to change our mindset and influences and motivates us to take control of our mind and thoughts. Loved the examples told in this book, will definetley hear this audiobook once again.
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Wake up call for entrepreneurs. Just get it done
- Rating: 2 out of 5 stars2/5Very underwhelming. Given the hype around this book, I was expecting better content, but it’s very flat and uninspiring.
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Start with a desire and you can achieve the dream that you always want to
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5This book is amazing. It gives practical and sound advice. The funny thing is this book contains so much wisdom, the kind that is itself obvious and repeated over and over, but in each chapter, Hill delves into the whys of each proverb or longstanding fact. He explains the secrets of he universe, respectively. This is a must read.
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5good book only if you understand it and apply :)
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Can’t say I’m surprised! Bravo Mr. Hill!
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Listening to this while reading a printed copy maybe the best thing to do, because there so many things that you want to read/hear them at least twice.
This is amazing how this books contains so many principles that people ignores or knows about but just don’t want to pay the price of doing them. - Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Must read!This is a book that really gives you the process of taking thoughts and turning it into reality!
