Think and Grow Rich by Arthur R. Pell, Napoleon Hill (2005, Paperback, Revised)

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.

Want to learn how to make money from one of the riches people in history? Learn from Napoleon Hill, the student of railroad tycoon Andrew Carnegie, who started with nothing and grew an empire much larger than Bill Gates!

This book was originally published almost 50 years ago but Mr. Hill writes about the most powerful principles in business and money. Principles that are true now and will be 100 years from now. What you learn in this book will build the strongest foundation you possibly can while growing your business. Also what is covered in this book can be applied to your everyday life too!

This book is 100% recommended!

I LIKED THIS BOOK FOR ITS SIMPLICITY. EASY TO UNDERSTAND AND NOT A BUNCH OF BIG WORDS THAT YOU HAVE TO GO RUNNING TO THE DICTIONARY TO FIND OUT WHAT THEY MEAN. I LOVE THE BOOK BECAUSE IT'S REAL, YOU CAN CHANGE YOUR LIFE BY FOLLOWING THE STRATAGYS IN THE BOOK. IT WILL CHANGE THE WAY YOU THINK AND IF YOU THINK YOU'VE BEEN A FAILURE AND DON'T KNOW WHY, NAPOLEON HILL HIT'S IT RIGHT ON THE NOSE. I SAW MYSELF AND WHERE I WAS MAKING MY MISTAKE. YOU SEE I WOULD NORMALLY FOR YEARS TRY TO WILL SOMETHING AND SOMETIMES IT WOULD HAPPEN BUT MORE TIMES IT WOULDN'T. I WAS MISSING THE LINK. I WON'T TELL YOU WHAT, YOU HAVE TO READ THE BOOK. THERE IS NOT ONE THING I DON'T LIKE ABOUT THIS BOOK, EXCEPT I WISH I HAD KNOWN AND READ IT SOONER. KAREN H.

A must read for anyone that wants to get somewhere in their lives. The current-times revisions are great too!

What a great book to start the juices of thought and improvement flowing. This is a bit dated as it was written in the 30's but the concepts are still sound. Very worthwhile reading. Wish I would have discovered thie earlier in life.

I bought it to help me feel more postive about myself and to know that I can be the person that I want to be.

I have been meaning to get this book and read it and now is the time to do that in this day and economy. I Have been told many good reviews from other people and I would recommend for any body that is in the business field to read and put this book to heart. I have not had the honors of putting the examples into effect as of yet, but we will wait til after the first of the year to do that.

I am going to get out of poverty living, by following the words of this remarkable man, Napoleon Hill. I am so glad I now have this awesome book! Thank you, seller!

It is a great self-help book which I will be using the rest of my life. I am very greatful that this book was available at this time in my life. It is people like you that have made Half.com what it is today.

Thanks !

An excellent bargain on a great inspirational book.I look forward to reading and employing all I learn from reading this great piece of work!

I haven't gotten a chance to open the book yet, but the book is in excellent shape. Looking forward to read it.

This book changed my life. I have increased my income at work and have established a profitable online business as a result of reading this book. Although this book is a classic, the principles contained in this book are timeless. "BOTH POVERTY AND RICHES ARE THE OFFSPRING OF THOUGHT". I found this statement to be true. By applying the principles found in this book I have changed my thinking and have become success conscious. Do you remember how Spider Man's spider senses tingled when something bad was about to happen? When applying the principles in this book you develop similar senses that tingle. Unlike Spider man your senses tingle when opportunities present themselves. No longer does procrastination, lack of confidence, fear, or anything prevent you from success when applying these principles!

I was recommended this book by a friend who said it is an absolute must-read for business-minded people. Despite not having formal business education, I found this book covers some key concepts that can apply to anyone's life and have the power to potentially change it in a positive way. Indeed, I agree that everyone, not just business people, should read this book; it's that good.

book is positive ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The book is good, however, it is a little hard to understand at times. I would recommend the book for anyone who wants to learn about finances.
