Libro superficial y patético de superación personal. Libro que tal vez en su época tenía algo de interés, pero la mención de personajes históricos sin considerar la totalidad de sus aportes, tanto positivos como negativos, hacen del autor un individuo que trate de usar lo que le conviene para guiar su mensaje.
Existen libros de superación personal de mejores cualidades, actualizados y que no tratan de aparentar una grandielocuencia inexistente.

The success of this book proves, once and for all, that human beings are stupid, gullible and easy to make money out of.

Let's be honest to ourselves and face the truth: success in business depends on a complex equation with a lot of variants, such as 1) how well your business idea adapts to the powers of supply and demand, which govern (and oppress) contemporary society, 2) where you come from economically to begin with (I've seen aromatherapy businesses run by middle-class sons of bitches grow and be more "successful" than neighborhood food establishments run by poor honest people), 3) how much investing capital you have at the time of creating your business, 4) your race, and 5) sheer dumb luck.

Quotes like “The starting point of all achievement is DESIRE. Keep this constantly in mind. Weak desire brings weak results, just as a small fire makes a small amount of heat” are ludicrous, absolutely ridiculous and delve into the worst kind of new-agey, self-help bullshitting bullying: victim-blaming. So, if your business is not successful, you are to blame, because you simply failed to desire it enough? Fuck that shit. This book is a perfect example of everything that is wrong in today's first-world-white-heterosexual-male-dominated economic culture. Tell me that such ideas as "desiring it enough" would work in Somalia, hell, even in Egypt, and then we'll talk.

Don't waste your time with this codswallop. Read real literature instead: you'll definitely increase your IQ this way.

The riches begin with a state of mind, with definiteness of purpose and with little or no hard work. We should have faith within ourselves, our ideas and work. Faith is basically a state of mind which may be induced or created by affirmation or repeated instructions to the subconscious mind through the principle of auto-suggestion.

Auto suggestion applies to all suggestions and are self-administered stimuli which reaches one’s mind through our senses.

The initial few chapters were really good and then the author decided to go all pro-capitalism and America out of no where which for me was a downside as it broke the tempo.

Knowledge is only potential power, however it becomes power only when and if it’s organised into definite plans of actions and directed towards a definite end.

Probably the first ever book which actually makes sense about plans and their fulfillments. It takes a lot of courage to not give up and keep going when things are tough but that’s the only key to success - always move one step ahead in your journey even if you can’t take it anymore.

ده مش واحد من الكتب الفنكوشية عن الثراء، أو النجاح ماليا وأنت نايم ومغطيها.

ده دستور الفلوس، وتقريبا فيه كل حاجة، من أول سستمة الدماغ، لحد الكوارث اللي بتقف بينك وبين الإزدهار.

كل سطر باين فيه المجهود وسنوات خبرة طويلة، والكتاب ينضح بالذكاء والحكمة والعملية.

اقرأه بقدر رغبتك في الغِنى، وطبّق ما بداخله بقدر إيمانك.

Update 2020-07-08:
This “deluxe edition” is by far the best version of the book and i have read it many times over. In “the monk who sold his Ferrari” robin Sharma correctly calls this a spiritual book so the title is somewhat misleading. Excellent to have in the library at home.

Expert counsel: “The engineer advised that the project had failed, because the owners were not familiar with “fault lines”. His calculations showed that the vein would be found just three feet from where the Darby’s had stopped drilling! That is exactly where it was found!
The “junk” man took millions of dollars in ore from the mine, because he knew enough to seek expert counsel before giving up.” p.7

“He recalled, too, his mistake in having stopped only three feet from gold. “But”, he said “that experience was a blessing in disguise. It taught me to keep on keeping on, no matter how hard the going may be, a lesson I needed to learn before I could succeed in anything.” p.11

“Success comes to those who become success conscious. Failure comes to those who indifferently allow themselves to become failure conscious.” p.14

“Henry Ford is a success, because he understands, and applies the principles of success. One of them is desire: knowing what one wants.” p.16

Wishing: “Every human being who reaches the age of understanding of the purpose of money wishes for it. Wishing will not bring riches. But desiring riches with a state of mind that becomes an obsession, then planning definite ways and means to acquire riches, and backing those plans with persistence which does not recognize failure, will bring riches.” p.26

Faith: “Repetition of affirmation of orders to your subconscious mind is the only known method of voluntary development of the emotion of faith.” p.53

“The time will soon come when a man may breakfast in New York, and lunch in San Francisco.” p.114 (2025?)

”Truly, there is something to the idea that hero-worship is helpful, provided one worships a winner.” p.109

“It is one thing to want money - everyone wants more - but it is something entirely different to be worth more! Many people mistake their wants for their just dues. Your financial requirements or wants have nothing whatever to do with your worth. Your value is established entirely by your ability to render useful service or your capacity to induce others to render such service.” p. 176

Summary:

Money must be attracted by who you become. You must have a burning desire, faith that you will succeed, use auto suggestion, specialized knowledge, imagine and plan before you decide and then persist together with other people (your master mind group). Success and wealth will come through effort but poverty will come without effort. Also it takes time to harness our basic drives (sex transmutation) and get rid of fear (six ghosts of fear). Therefore you must take some calculated risk. You cannot care what other people think. You have to be focused like a laser on your goals, daily. You must visualize the achievement of your goals everyday. You must clearly see and feel it come to you. And you must be very precise in stating what you want in writing, in talking to yourself and others. Beware what enters your mind and let the subconscious mind work over the problem and then be quick to act when you see a solution to the getting of wealth. Also you must evaluate yourself clearly and objectively at least once a year and with the help of another person. Don’t stop before you hit the gold vein!

شخصيًا لا أميل للكتب التي تقوم بسرد القواعد البديهية لأي عمل. وفي الحقيقة لا أدري إن كانت فعلًا بديهية أم أن هناك فعلًا من لا يبذل جهد للتوصل إلى هذه القواعد بمفرده.
عمومًا ما يميز الكتاب هو ذكره للكثير من التجارب، التي تصلح لاستخدامها في سياقات متعددة.

A lot of people I know speak very highly of this book. I disagree. It was so terrible I couldn't stomach finishing it. This is the early predecessor to the contemporary fantasy called "The Secret" - just think hard enough about what you want and it will happen. Sorry to burst your bubble, but that's bullshit. Regardless of what Napoleon Hill supposedly researched, desire alone is not a determinant of success.

Don't waste your time and energy on this book. Instead, go read "I Will Teach You To Be Rich" from Ramit Sethi for actionable advice on how to build your financial success, or "The Personal MBA" by Josh Kaufman for a real primer on how business works.
