Rating: Summary: A classic on wealth and life Review: I've read this book at least half a dozen times over the years. This book gives very practical advice on wealth creation and success orientation. In a country that sees leadership and success books published by the thousand each year, take note of this one that's remained a best seller over the years. If I were stranded on a desert island with a choice of a book, this one might well be the one I choose!
Rating: Summary: Think and grow happy Review: A classic in the self-help field, this book was definetely worth the money. It's a book you'll want to read many times over. Although I can't say it changed my life, it certainly set me on the right road. It introduces some universal laws of happiness, wealth and success that anyone looking for answers should know. The only negative aspect I can think of is the dated and rather stilted writing style but, hey, it was written over 40 years ago so that can be forgiven. If you're interested in getting rich or just getting your life in order, this is an excellent place to start.
Rating: Summary: Great Start Review: This book is an excellent starting point on the road to wealth. It is as insightful today as when I first read it thirty years ago. If you want to aguire the good things in this life, this book is a must. My only objection to this book is that it doesn't go far enough. May I suggest another book which gives us a simple system for succes that takes these concepts to the next level. Read "I'm Rich Beyond My Wildest Dreams. I am. I am. I am." By Thomas L. Pauley and Penelope Pauley.
Rating: Summary: Transform your life! Review: Yes, that is what this book did to me- transformed my life. Before, I was a withdrawn individual, not very sure of my abilities and confidence. After I read it, I became a confident person and was able to recognize my potential. Truly, I began to experience the truth of how thoughts are able to beget themselves into their physical equivalent. And the other remarkable part of this book is that Napoleon Hill leaves it for the reader to discover the secret of the book. Read it and discover yourself. You will never be the same person. And thank Hill for it. Keep coming back to it from time to time whenever you are down in the dumps and feel it lift your spirits up!
Rating: Summary: ONE OF THE GREATEST BOOKS EVER WRITTEN Review: If you have ever wondered why some people seem to get ahead in life while other just plod along, this book will give you the answers. It has been said that 98% of people don't even know what they want. How can a person get anywhere if they don't know where they are going? THINK ABOUT IT! I also recommend reading: The Richest Man in Babylon, Secret of the Ages and anything by Napoleon Hill.
Rating: Summary: best sucsess book I've read Review: The part I realy enjoyed in this book. Is how it tells a story of a gold miner. And how he just quit becase the vane ran dry. So he sold the plot and went home and cut his losses. The guy that bought the plot. Found profesinal help from an eginer. And found the vain again just three feet from were the last guy stoped.
Rating: Summary: MIND BLOWER ! Review: I would never have bought the book because of its title if not Anthony Robbins recommended it. Hill's insights are not matched! Don't miss why knowledge per se has no value. Why wishing brings no fortune. Why the fear of poverty is the most destructive of the basic fears. Why life is a checkboard and the player opposte you is time. Why highly sexed men are the most efficient salesman. Fantastic!
Rating: Summary: MAKE NO MISTAKE ABOUT IT, THIS IS THE FOUNDATION OF ALL... Review: self-help, success strategy, personal growth, and motivational books combined. What you have here, my friends, is a collection of the 13 MOST imperative, fundemental principles to acheiving specifically all that you desire in LIFE. Oh yeah, you think...you've read them all, right? Well, let's get our facts straightened out...These principles are the founding efforts of Tony Robbins, Covey, Rome, etc., etc., The principles depicted in this book can, and will turn ordinary people into extraordinary people--with purpose, drive and inspiration. Written after the Great Depression (not sure what was so great about it, other than what we were able to learn from it), and was used to help thousands of able Americans, down on their luck, to overcome and sustain any adversity...and re-build their fortunes--achieving their every desire. This book should be a piece of literature that all graduating high-schoolers, or graduating undergraduates MUST read. Top 10 list of all books ever read, on my list. You WILL benefit from this book! Steve Adele
Rating: Summary: Still the best! Review: I have read over 400 books on personal development. Think and Grow Rich is the best.It's not just positive thinking, but also strategies and techniques to reach your goals.It's great to see Napolean Hills great book has such a high rating here at Amazon and is still one of the best selling books.If you want just one book, this should be it.If you are in business or want to be or in a leadership role, I also suggest Direct From Dell by Michael Dell. If Napoleon Hill were alive today and interiewing the most successful people of the times, surely Michael Dell would be at the top of his list.I am also sure that Mike Dell has read and applying the strategies from Think and Grow Rich.Read and apply the techniques from both books and you can't help but be successful.
Rating: Summary: Much more than I expected Review: I picked up this book expecting a dry read of how to get my finances in order, but was pleasantly surprised to discover that Mr. Kimbro has gone deeper than just offering a practical guide to buiding personal financial riches. He has presented a positive, uplifting, book full of spiritual insight, creative visualization exercises, scripture passages, and quotes from well-known African Americans in all fields. Think and Grow Rich: A Black Choice is full of inspirational success stories about African Americans ranging from Mary McLeod Bethune and Madame C.J. Walker, to Les Brown and Earl Graves. Black Enterprise suggests that "this book should be required reading for all African Americans truly committed to the pursuit of happiness and fulfillment." I'll have to agree with their sentiments wholeheartedly. A must-read for uncovering what is preventing you from reaching your full potential.
