    About this audiobook

    Think and Grow Rich is a motivational personal development and self-help book written by Napoleon Hill and inspired by a suggestion from Scottish-American businessman Andrew Carnegie. While the title implies that this book deals only with how to achieve monetary wealth, the author explains that the philosophy taught in the book can be used to help individuals do or be almost anything they want. For instance, Jim Murray (a sportswriter) wrote that Think and Grow Rich was credited for Ken Norton's boxing upset of Muhammad Ali in 1973.

    The book was first published in 1937 during the Great Depression. At the time of Hill's death in 1970, Think and Grow Rich had sold 20 million copies. It remains the biggest seller of Napoleon Hill's books - a perennial best-seller after 70 years (BusinessWeek's best-seller list ranked Think and Grow Rich as the sixth best-selling paperback business book 70 years after it was first published). Think and Grow Rich is listed in John C. Maxwell's A Lifetime Must Read Books List.

      This book was recommended to my by my grandfather when I was less than 10 yrs old. This grandfather also told me that the Billionaires (or millionaires he may have said) started wars at will and created the necessary ruckus in Congress and in the Press after the fact to get what they want. They made huge fortunes off World War I, and even if they did have to pay income taxes for the first time to fight that kind of war, they got a substantial share of the national tax bill back for themselves into few pockets. The architectural record all over the Industrial Midwest attests to those profits. That game persists very well today with 50% of income tax going into military coffers. Less and less of that is going into the hands of military personnel and their families. There are plenty of lobbyists working on reducing even that share. Our family have deep roots in Industrial America. My grandparents' grandparents and great aunts and great uncles families played in the same sandbox with Carnegie, Mellon, Frick, Schwab, Ford, Goodyear, etc etc. since before the Civil War.Mark Booth in his book "The Secret History of the World: As laid down by Secret Societies", which I may also have reviewed on Amazon, summed up the 2000s of years history of Neo-Platonism, or Freemasonry, or whatever other esoterica Napoleon Hill over-simplifies and sugar coats in this book. He says something like "the biggest error in the Western esoteric movement was to focus on materialism and individualism, instead of interconnectedness, spirituality, and sustainability". I couldn't have agreed with him more as I read Think and Grow Rich decades after Grandpa recommended it. It seems a classic left brain, whole brain dichotomy which impacts are now painfully evident on our planet, in our cell tissue, and imprinted on our own psyches, and those of our beloved offspring who inherited their psyches from ours.Hill is a journalist. We can tell from our own world today where journos take official word from politicians as the explanation for things, that similar errors will arise from a generalist journo like Hill taking the word of Plutocrats about how to succeed in business. They need to cover their trails. Our family has plenty of dirt on Carnegie. It is not mentioned in the book, that Charles Schwab is cited as a huge success for envisaging the US Steel Trust, which became a monopoly, with all associated ills, that Teddy Roosevelt had to bust up so that our economy could continue to function. Said bust up resulted in the creation of rival Bethlehem Steel under Schwab and also a generous shareholding for the forebears of our current Supreme Court Justice John Roberts. No mention of the fact that Schwab died alone in one of his many over-sized white elephant houses and estranged from his wife and children. But, we know because he grew up in the next village from where my grandmother grew up. He like them was from humble German Catholic origins. She spoke of him always as "Charlie Schwab", and they were all very familiar with his many foibles and sources of his business success.The last remark would be about Asa Candler and his Coca-Cola. Whatever the origins of cocaine in that stuff, today the high fructose corn syrup is the leading cause of diabetes and obesity in our children. The advertising is relentless, manipulative, and plays on deep identity fears. I should know because I once worked at the advertising agency that handled the account for about 50 years. These brands invented the sophisticated advertising techniques that seduce subconsciously and play on fears. The soft drink industry, with their once dependency on sugar from plantations in Cuba, and their political brethren, are now being implicated by declassified documents and the dharma work of investigative journalists who love America, in the assassination of JFK. They are also implicated in the failed attempt at the theatrical event designed to trigger the press ruckus Grandpa said they'd need to get the American people to back an invasion of Cuba. An invasion JFK refused to his demise, whose real purpose was to get nationalized plantations (and workers) back into the hands of dynastic American Yankee families who had owned them since we were a British Colony probably.Soft drinks bottling was also the way this same crowd established their tentacles in the resource rich third-world by awarding franchises to their clone oligarchs and cement the interdependency on sugar, money, arms, coercion, "free markets" which means no trade unions or democracy in those countries ever. It is also the permanent money maker in countries where there is no investment in anything else to advance the people's lives. The impacts of this kind of business are terrible. Asa of course didn't know any of this would happen, but the stuff was clearly of no nutritional value, but rather another American "tonic" with dubious and impossible to measure psychological claims.These are hardly the attributes of people who claim to have higher moral principles, or spiritually inspired gifts. The whole thing was a project to culturally invade a nation of people into thinking and believing that they too could become rich, without the benefits of monopolies, private Pinkerton Police forces, bought legislatures, public land grants, tax breaks, stacked courts...the list goes on. It speaks of a kind of Lucifer or Ahriman reconstitution to appear to the uninitiated (pun fully intended) that which it isn't, shrouding pure evil in goodness and light. The purveyors of this over simplified stuff do a great disservice to readers. They also do a great disservice to esoterica and Neo-Platonism.At least now the cover is blowing, and more mirrors are appearing in the hallway. So we're now seeing more of these hidden angles! I would recommend Paulo Freire "Pedagogy of the Oppressed" to really learn about how one really does becomes rich, just like Grandpa said and with depth of historic evidence, and more importantly how we all could become more prosperous together as a whole world!

      This is my bible. If only 51% of America adhered to the teachings of this book, then we truly would be the greatest superpower ever. This is one of those books that I must read annually. In order to go back to basics. I highly recommend everyone read this book and practice the techniques within. It is not just about being financially rich, but also about being rich in areas that matter to you, family, spirituality and living a balanced life.

    • 3/5
      I'm listening to this as an audiobook while getting other things done. It was written in 1938 and I don't think has aged well, in regards to writing style. However you can't take a step into positive thinking/learned happiness/learned optimism waters without hearing about this book. It seems to be the primordial well from which all other positive thinking guides spring. So, I'm listening to it mostly as research so I know what the heck everyone is talking about.

      I was interested to read this because it inspired Bad Brains. Makes some good points and reiterates some ideas I've read in other books of the genre.
    • 4/5
      The book was written just after The Great Depression of the 1930s, however, much of its advice is still relevant today. There are a few dated areas, but there are small, minor, and far-between. This book is as good today as it was then.
    • 5/5
      Always a great reread or re-read. A good straight forward kick in the pants to put the head on straight and move forward. I have bought copies for my children to keep and review over their lives
