I was looking through some of the reviews and see that some people gave it five stars and some gave it only one. I think if the people who gave it one star would practice the principles given in this book they would quickly upgrade their rating.

This book was published in 1937, during the Great Depression, and if the people who suffered during that time had read this book their lives might have been better.

It is really about convincing yourself to become wealthy. It outlines the steps you need to take and the steps you need to avoid.

There are also a lot of interesting ideas in this book. For example, sex transmutation is where you transfer the energy of your libido into other purposes. Great people have done this. Also, 99% of the public has no goal in life that is why they are stuck in jobs they do not want.

Most people do not succeed until they are older. In fact, most success does not come until after you are 40 years old. Edison & Carnegie were past the age of 40 when they made their fortune. He forgot to mention that George Washington was 43 when he took on the greatest military on earth.

His roundtable idea is very intriguing.

I do not see why anyone would not want to read this book.

Self-righteous and pedantic. Often prone to magical thinking, endless meandering, "revelation" of self-evident advice.

If you feel broken, damaged ,shattered and crumbled to a million pieces , and you may have had a logical excuse for not having forced life to come through with whatever you asked. Well, that alibi is now obsolete, because you are in possession of the Master Key that unlocks the door to Life’s bountiful riches. It is a mindset changing book ,so dreadfully insightful and definitely worth reading.

I expected a practical guide to managing personal finance, but got something a little kooky. On to the next one. :)

الكتاب يضع يده على ما ينقص القارئ
أنصح بقراءته لمن أراد أن يغير حياته العملية

رغم الزخم والتنوع الموجود بهذا الكتاب من حكم وعبر وقصص نجاح حقيقية سأقتبس عبارة واحدة فقط

لايلجم العقل عن التفكير إلا العقل نفسه

Timeless information, great words of wisdom, and excellent advice from, perhaps, the greatest personal development book ever published. The principles can be used for anything that you desire. I bought this bestseller from: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01...

This is the best self help book any entrepreneur could ever read. Perhaps the only one they need to. Truly transformative. I have it on audio too and listen to it at the gym often.

Napoleon Hill was tasked by Andrew Carnegie to write a book on what made a successful person succeed, and he spent 20 years researching and interviewing every great name of the day (Ford, Woolworth, Edison, etc), plus lots of people who failed (because you have to know what doesn't work too). This book is the result.

It basically hammers home a single point, over and over again. Success comes from knowing what you want to achieve and having a burning desire to achieve it.

"The starting point of all achievements is desire. Keep this constantly in mind. Weak desire brings weak results, just as a small fire makes a small amount of heat."

Changed the way I saw the world. Continues to change the way I process the world.

Want to get rich?

Don't waste your hard earned money on "Get Rich Quick" books.

"God seems to throw Himself on the side of the man who knows exactly what he wants, if he is determined to get JUST THAT!"

It all starts in the FAITH Department!

Published in 1937, this book is the archetype of all contemporary self-improvement books. Here's why: it draws upon the principles of New Thought, its emphasis on positive thinking and the law of attraction. The basic premise is this: one's external concrete circumstances are nothing more than a reflection of one's inner world and dominating thoughts. You will not conquer the world until you conquer your own thoughts!

This is what I like most about this book: the focus inward, the resources emotive, the beneficiaries could be anyone! Strong FAITH and DESIRE are the only prerequisites for all success!

Recommended for people who accept nothing but success and hope to accumulate infinite amount of RICHES—these ranging from simple peace of mind to lots of money!

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

Unlike Good to Great I don't necessarily see this book as a must-read for business. I thoroughly enjoyed it myself and found a lot of the advice useful for life and self-belief, but as far as a business bible I wouldn't swear on it. What I did find enjoyable was sdespite some of the outdated advice, most of the "self worth" and envisioning/thinking goals into existence are still relevant and while people may disagree with the actual effectiveness of them they do help bolster one's self esteem, which is always important.

It was a fun little exploration into business books but I do not base my decisions on it.
