NEWS FLASH - My Book Released!

One of the world’s oldest motivational books is still considered among the best. Think and Grow Rich, brilliantly penned by Napoleon Hill, hit the shelves in 1937, during the Great Depression. Needless to say, at that time in America’s history, motivation was very much needed. To date, Think and Grow Rich has sold well over 30-million copies, and has been the inspiration for many of today’s entertainment moguls and Wall St. execs.

Just as that little black Bible acts as a life template for devout Christians, so too does Napoleon’s most popular book act as a life template for those seeking success. The premise of the book is so ridiculously simple that the astonishing number of sales seems to contradict common sense. By using positive thinking, the book states, one can achieve any goal. Perhaps it’s the use of positive reinforcement and the intricate detail in Think and Grow Rich that has made it a tried and true bestseller.

Outlined in the book are “thirteen steps to riches,” and little by little, Napoleon lays out a master plan. Ironically, after 70 years, America is once again heading into depression and the book is just as relevant today as it was then. The way the book is put together is one of the main reasons of its success. Instead of offering chapter after chapter of positive rhetoric, readers of the book go on a journey. Throughout the pages, a reader will answer questionnaires, participate in exercises, and learn how to implement what they’re reading. It’s like having the text book and the teacher in one piece of literature.

As the book starts out, readers are introduced to crystal clear guidelines to follow, dealing with how to set and attain goals. It also teaches right from wrong, in a quasi-parent-like advice setup, i.e. the proverbial fork in the road. The ultimate goal is to reach your highest potential. Think and Grow Rich doesn’t teach that becoming successful is easy; it teaches that becoming successful is possible. This straightforward work that doesn’t pander to sensibilities has stood the test of time for that very reason.

Everyone will make mistakes in their lifetime. There’s a saying that goes, “Show me the person who’s never made a mistake and I’ll show you a liar.” With Think and Grow Rich, readers are taught that mistakes are little more than learning opportunities. Hill emphasizes that, in order to be successful, one should never view a temporary failure as a permanent defeat.

Looking at the book for what it offers, you’ll see a finished product that has led countless people down an enlightened path of success. By looking at what it took to make the book happen, you’ll find that Napoleon Hill spent a lot of his life—25 years—studying over 500 of America’s most successful businessmen. From there, he was able to take both the right and wrong steps each of these men took, and deduce an ultimate way to success.

Throughout the thirteen steps, readers learn about their brain and the power of suggestion, their sixth sense, persistence, decision making, and much more. Think and Grow Rich is one of the world’s finest motivational works.
