Description

Think and Grow Rich is one of the most popular success book of all-time, having sold more than 60 million copies since it was first published more than 70 years ago. It has created countless millionaires and success stories in those who have read it, and is the standard against which all other success and self-development books are measured.

Written by Napoleon Hill, Think and Grow Rich is the result of more than 500 interviews of America’s wealthiest and most successful business owners in the early part of the 20th century. It took Hill 25 years to compile, research and ultimately create Think and Grow Rich, and it was Andrew Carnegie who gave Hill the assignment of creating this masterpiece.

Think and Grow Rich reveals the “13 steps to riches” that Hill identified in the extensive interviews he completed, and lays a plan of action out that anyone can follow to create success and prosperity in their life.

You’ll enjoy Hill’s original work in this updated and revised version, which includes an additional free bonus of the special report, “Get More Business, Get More Life!” In this ground-breaking work, you’ll learn why most entrepreneurs are exhausted and on the path to failure – and what to do about it.

Who was Napoleon Hill?

Napoleon Hill was an American author who pioneered the production of the personal success genre of literature. He is broadly recognized as one of the greatest writers on the topic of success. He had a best selling book called Think and Grow Rich, written in 1937, which was his most famous, selling over twenty million copies. Napoleon Hill was an adviser to the late president Franklin D. Roosevelt, and was a highly influential person in his time. Because of his work, the Napoleon Hill Foundation to this day promotes his books and ideologies.

Achievement, viewed as a philosophy

The “Philosophy of Achievement” is a formula offered by Napoleon Hill, which acts a method of completely transforming one’s financial life. In his various works, he contributes to this formula in many ways. Hill has considered many different factors to be integral in this formula, including capitalism, democracy, harmony, and most importantly freedom. This philosophy disregarded negative emotions such as fear, greed, and hatred as being completely useless and focused entirely on the positive feelings. These negative feelings are generally cited by Hill as being the root of failure for people who find themselves unsuccessful.

Adopting the philosophy of achievement

Even though Hill wrote the book Think and Grow Rich, of which the main purpose is to promote the secrets behind success and achievement, he believes that the average person will benefit the greatest by discovering the secrets themselves. Shortly after introducing the concepts of the book to the reader, Hill mentions that “if you truly desire money so keenly that your desire is an obsession, you will have no difficulty in convincing yourself that you will acquire it.” This is more or less a nod to the fact that at the end of the day, it is our individual responsibility to achieve success.

How To Win Friends and Influence People by Dale Carnegie

How To Win Friends and Influence People by Dale Carnegie is a book published in 1936 that has sold over fifteen million copies all over the world, and seeks to help people have more pleasurable and effective relationships, and focuses on social interaction. Each of the six sections highlight a different method in improving your social ability.

Section one: Fundamental techniques in handling people.

Section one of the book focuses on the fundamentals. Carnegie advocates not criticizing, condemning, or complaining, and to give honest appreciation to those who deserve it. In order to achieve what you want, you must cause the other person to share your desires, and you should never make it known to other people that you are uninterested in what they have to share with you.

Section two: Six ways to make people like you

This section goes over six methods that improve people’s reception to you, and makes you generally more likeable. By being actively interested in other people, smiling, remembering the names of people you were introduced to, being a good listener and allowing others to talk about themselves, talking with the other person’s interests in mind, and making the person you are talking to feel important are all methods that this section highlights.

Section three: Twelve ways to win people to your way of thinking

Never tell another person they are outright wrong. If you are wrong, admit that you recognize it and mean it. Initiate conversations in a friendly manner, and try to ask questions where the other person will respond positively. Allow the other person to do most of the talking between you two, and allow the other person to adopt your idea as their own. Try to put yourself in the other person’s state of mind and be empathetic in understanding them.

Section four: Be a leader

This section goes over various methods that you can use to get others to follow you without hating you. By treating others with respect, being honest, and encouraging others, you can often lead with ease.

These seven rules will greatly improve any single home situation, and should be followed in both romantic relationships and platonic ones alike, minus the last rule.
