Think And Grow Rich: Still A Timeless Classic
Some old books are just old. They are full of dusty, irrelevant ideas and written in an antiquated writing style that offers no appeal for the modern reader.
But some old books are just as alive today as when they were hot off the press. They are full of still-fresh ideas that are still useful and practical to the modern reader.
Napolean Hills 1937 classic Think And Grow Rich is such a book. It is packed with still-timely principles on success and wealth.
Hills insights began when he was a 25 year old business journalist assigned to interview the worlds richest man at the time, Andrew Carnagie.
Carnagie introduced Hill to his philosophy of how an average man could become wealthy and successful. Just as importantly, he introduced hill to some of the richest and most successful people in the world. Based on Carnagies introductions, Hill interviewed Thomas Edison, Henry Ford, John D. Rockefeller, F.W. Woolworth, and Presidents Theodore Roosevelt, Woodrow Wilson and Howard Taft.
As a result of 20 years of study, Hill formulated 13 Steps to Riches. He was on of the first people to stress the importance of written goals and the power of belief.
Among the insights this classic can still offer us today are:
- How to set goals that compel you to keep driving and persisting toward it until you succeed.
It is said that Napolean Hill made more millionaires than any other human being. While that claim can never be proven, it is probably true that no single book has launched millionaire careers and ventures than Think And Grow Rich.
If you have never read Think And Grow Rich, you are in for a wonderful experience. If its been a long time, pick it up again. It still has the power to help our dreams come true.
