Summary: This book stimulates, motivates and inspires!
Review:
In order for Think and Grow Rich ( or any book used as an educational and motivational tool) to be effective, somebody has to buy into it first. Then, they have read it and understand what it is all about and they have to develop a motivation to want to succeed in life.

This new edition of Think and Grow Rich has much more to offer and is easier to read and understand than the previous editions. It is more informative in the way it's put together.

This book is not just for getting rich, it applies to life in general. Look at titles of the various chapters and subject matter. Desire, Faith, Imagination, Persistence. Read it like a bible. Don't read it every day. Read it as the need arises, as a means of inspiration to succeed. I did with the original edition and continue to succeed as I write this. Keep the book on a coffee table or bedside table, within easy reach.

This book is a roadmap to success. It should be given to children in high school to set them on their path for the future.

Summary: I owe everything to this book
Review: I was introduced to "Think and Grow Rich!" by an alcoholic member of our cemetery sales team. I had a wife and three children at the time, and we were just barely making it. My only source of income was the commissions I made knocking on doors selling cemetery property, and they were hard to come by, especially since almost nobody was a permanent resident in the Miami area.

Reading "Think and Grow Rich!" gave me a crutch to lean on as I forced myself out to pound those doors where the potential prospects were. If my family was going to eat, I had to convince people to buy cemetery property 30 or 40 or more years before they would need it. The Six-Step Success Formula the book contains helped me to realize that there was a way even for an uneducated lunkhead like me to make it like the big guys. I followed the success formula faithfully, and, lo and behold, my whole life turned around.

Two of my most useful tools in the book are the poem "My Wage" ("I bargained with Life for a penny...") and "If You Think You Are Beaten" ("Life's battles don't always go to the stronger or faster man..."). I truly believe that Dr. Hill has the same message the Bible has for us. It was just little easier for me to apply. I went on to build the largest cemetery organization in the country starting out from my basement on Concord Avenue in Anderson, S. C. In 1970, we sold 30 cemeteries to Service Corporation International, making it possible for them to become the largest funeral-cemetery company in the world. I served as President of their Cemetery Division for three years.

I'm now 82 years old, living comfortably on the shores of Lake Hartwell with my wife of 62 years. Almost all my good fortune came about because I had the good fortune to be introduced to "Think and Grow Rich!" in 1953. (This new addition is actually closer to the one I read back then. The versions sold since the 1960s omit a lot of material that Ross Cornwell has put back in.) I have given away many cases of this great book. It was required reading in my company and in my family, and it has made a difference in a lot of the people's lives who were given the opportunity to make it part of their lives.

Thank you, Ross Cornwell, for this wonderful "added value" new edition of the book that has meant everything to me -- and for giving me this opportunity to look back and appreciate how really important all of this is and what a difference it has made in my life and the lives of so many others.

Summary: Wisdom to Live By
Review: Napoleon Hill's writings have influenced my life to understand that our God-given destiny is to soar on eagles' wings. Further reflection brought to mind that first you have to stretch yourself before you can soar, and that once you have a burning desire, a significant goal you can stretch much farther than you previously had thought possible. Beware: Every time an eagle raise its wings to fly someone will put an arrow to the bow but, remember, eagles can soar higher than any arrow can fly. May this revised and updated edition of Napoleon Hill's Think and Grow Rich! enable you to Reach-Stretch-Soar!

Summary: New Edition Outstanding!
Review: This book contains the secret to financial and other kinds of success in life. Ross Cornwell has restored "Think and Grow Rich!" back to the way Napoleon Hill first published it, but he has added valuable new features. For the first time there are probably 150 notes at the end of the book that explain many things contained in the book. There are several interesting items in an appendix that tell us a lot about Hill. For the first time the book has an index, and it is very extensive. Here and there a word or two have been changed to make something clearer. This is just an outstanding book. I predict it will soon be the one most followers of Hill will want to own.
