The best message in this book is power of forming positive mental habits. Many mental habits we formed as adolescents, copied from our parents, and are media influenced. Our minds have a robotic, habitual response to many things. If you can train your mind to form the habit of winning, you can get over the many mental blocks that prevent us from achieving our highest potential.

This is one of the best books I've ever read. It offers timeless advice about maintaining and exuding a positive attitude, setting and accomplishing your goals, and being a good person.

Napoleon Hill for the 90s. It's really just Napoleon Hill made scientific (through the deepity of behavioral psychology). The discussions of the datedness of this book are hilarious because (1) it's from the 90s (he mentions that this info will probably be valid in 2020, lol) and (2) because the information in it is heavily based on OOOOLLLLDDD info. Like Greek, 1800s, Egyptians, etc. It's also funny to me that if science knows this much about consciousness, winning, and success why hypnosis is still considered so "woo-woo". A good half of the things he suggests in here are straightforwardly lifted from NLP... but even Psychology Today made that mistake and had to redact some "new" therapy methods.

Excellent book, small, but full of gold. This book has material from at least three other books I've read, so that makes it a treasure trove in one place. I highly recommend.

This is a dated book that contains characters that modern readers may not know about, old ideas and incorrect information, for example only using 10% of your brain which is false. The Language is also dated; I would personally have given another title for this book, maybe “Character traits of achievers”. Given its age the books is still a good and a fast read with 10 chapters for each trait.

Although written a while ago--these principles are indeed universal and always relevant.

It is good to see a book that helps us see things differently--in such a way that, without ignoring what is really happening, it provides the correct perspective so that we do not lose hope and keep plugging along.

This is an excellent book for just about anyone--it can only do good to you. We should definitely read it more than once--as we need to practice what's in it--not juts read it and understand it.

2.5⭐️ A quick audiobook. There are some catchy phrases and encouraging quotes to inspire readers to change their mindset on life and goal setting. For me, it was a little outdated, but not without positive takeaways. Also, so much for using our advances in technology as a means to focus more on interpersonal connection. But, overall good to see where some gains have been made with behavioral psychology since 1984 and what continues to be tried and true.

One of my favorite books. Second time to read it, and it will remain on my yearly reading list. It has some incredible points and ideas for improvement. It makes you think and challenges you to review how you’ve been living and make necessary changes. Easy to read!

Loved it- refer to it often.

Listen to audio series.

Dated, but otherwise a very good book. If you're putting these ten principles to work, success is yours.
