Think and Grow Rich is one of the most popular books on personal development. It is also considered by many to be one of the most influential books ever written and I would have to agree.  

Over 100 Million Copies Sold 

It was first published in 1937 and had sold more than 20 million copies, and by 2015 over 100 million copies had been sold worldwide. It remains the biggest seller of Napoleon Hill’s books and if you’re into wealth creation it’s a must.  

I first read it in my 20s, alongside Rich Dad Poor Dad (another great classic). Many in my industry recommend it and my business mentor also is a big fan.  

It contains a 13-part plan on how to think, act, and grow yourself into wealth. The book is based on the research of Andrew Carnegie, Thomas Edison and Henry Ford who discovered that there are certain common traits among all successful people. The author believes that these traits can be learned by anyone who wants to become successful. So, what are you waiting for… 

So How Did This Book Come About? 

It was written as a result of an interview with 500 self-made millionaires who were asked questions such as: “What is the secret to their success?” or “What would you suggest I do if I want to be rich?”  

These questions were answered by successful people from different industries including real estate developers, stock traders, bankers and insurance salesmen. 

The author concluded that the most important thing for achieving wealth is having a goal or purpose in life that drives you towards it every day without fail (a burning desire). 

It’s important to have the right mindset and willingness to change and it is possible for absolutely everyone to learn how – and what’s going to work for you in your personal circumstances. 

This book is a great place to start if you’d like to create financial independence.  

Why I Recommend Reading This Book 

I strongly recommend reading Think & Grow Rich by Napoleon Hill. It is one of the most popular self-help books of all time and has helped many people achieve great success.  

It focuses on the power of positive thinking and teaches readers the importance of setting goals and taking action to achieve them.  

Ultimately, Think & Grow Rich encourages readers to think BIG and not be afraid to take risks. It is a great book that provides a wealth of insights and strategies to help you reach your full potential.  

Another great read for those looking to create real wealth. 

Some of My Favourite Think & Grow Rich Quotes 

“The way of success is the way of continuous pursuit of knowledge.” 

“Opinions are the cheapest commodities on earth. Everyone has a flock of opinions ready to be wished upon anyone who will accept them. If you are influenced by “opinions” when you reach DECISIONS, you will not succeed in any undertaking.” 

“There is a difference between WISHING for a thing and being READY to receive it. No one is ready for a thing, until he believes he can acquire it. The state of mind must be BELIEF, not mere hope or wish. Open-mindedness is essential for belief.” 

“If you do not conquer self, you will be conquered by self.” 

“Knowledge is power.” It is nothing of the sort! Knowledge is only potential power. It becomes power only when, and if, it is organized into definite plans of action, and directed to a definite end.
