Summary: Better than the rest
Review: This is a book for those who seriously want to better themselves. It does not let you feel sorry for yourself if downtrodden, but makes you responsible, and pushes you beyond that.

Summary: Set a goal and commit your best efforts to achieving it
Review: Because this book is an excellent guide for goal achievement, it has stood the test of time. My only gripe is that it is based on suboptimal positive thinking instead of Optimal Thinking. I read Optimal Thinking last year and have never looked back. I am optimizing my life!

Summary: A very powerful book
Review: This book is a very powerful book. After reading the first 25 pages - I felt I already received more than the book was worth. The book is worth 10 times more than it already is.Everything is writen in an easy to understand language with lots of examples. Although some of the examples are old and you won't recognize the characters. But the idea behind the examples are still powerful.

Summary: Best personal development book ever!
Review: Although this book has been around since the 30's, it is still head and shoulders above the others. The title can be misleading. You do need to think and by reprogamming your mind with these time tested and proven techniques, you will become rich. The most beneficial part of the book to me was the exercise of holding a mental picture of myself for 30 minutes per day along with affirmations. All I can say, is that it works, it really works.

Summary: Valuable insights but suboptimal
Review: This book is is an example of suboptimal positive thinking. Hill's concepts are valuable because he understands that we become what we think about. But Hill uses the old paradigm of positive thinking which has many shortcomings. Nowadays, positive thinking has been superceded by Optimal Thinking. People and organizations who seek the best results (optimal thinking) are no longer willing to settle for good and great results (Suboptimal positive thinking). If you want to
optimize your success (not just improve it) you have to read "Optimal Thinking: How to be your best self." You learn how to to be your best in every situation and bring out the best from others and achieve the best possible results. You discover that positive thinking is often no more than wishful thinking. Needless to say, there are many good insights in Think and Grow Rich which you should not overlook.

Summary: Invaluable
Review: This book has actually caused a life change for me. Since reading I have quit my job and started my own company. I didn't have any more excuses to not be successful. Instead of feeling that I had to know everything, I just surrounded myself with people that had the resources that I lacked. This book is amazing, but it is important to follow all of the instructions. I have recommended this book to numerous friends and it has helped all of them. Good Luck

Summary: He Told Us To Use Our Wives - OUTDATED Stinking Thinking.
Review: Maybe when he was visiting college campuses in 1922 "use your wife" would have been acceptable, but not now. When women and men are put on an equal basis and contribute equally, it liberates the men as well as the women. Men are freed from the obligation of supporting the family alone and women are freed from the unfulfilling drugery of doing housework alone. Think and grow rich men, two incomes are better than one. Do an equal share of the housework and RESPECT your working wife.

Summary: Overrated compared to today's standards
Review: I read this book after hearing a lot of hype about how great it was. I was disappointed when I finished.
Now, I realize that this was considered a phenomenal work by the standards of its time when it was written. However, it doesn't even compare to books like Brian Tracy's Maximum Achievement, and Tony Robbins Awaken the Giant Within, to name a few. Think and Grow Rich is sub-par for today's standards. Just because it was the first great work of it's kind doesn't mean it's still great. When Ford created the Model-T, it was considered by all the greatest revolution since sliced bread. Do we still drive Model-T's today? No way. They don't even compare to a car like BMW, or your average mid-grade car like a Ford Escort. I hope my point is clear. Things change and improve. So it goes with literary works as well.

Summary: This book is good but suboptimal.
Review: Napolean Hill's idea to think thoughts of success is correct. What we focus on has a big impact on our results. Hill uses the old model of positive thinking which has many flaws. Positve thinking is inferior to Optimal Thinking. Why waste time using positive thinking to seek good and great results, when you can use Optimal Thinking to achieve the best results. If you are interested in OPTIMIZING your success, you have to read "Optimal Thinking-How to be your best self" by Rosalene Glickman, Ph.D. She takes you past wishful thinking and shows you how to be your best self in every situation and how to think in harmony with your best interests. Optimal Thinking is simple and you can put it into practice IMMEDIATELY to optimize your success.
