The Secret is only available to those who are ready

Napoleon Hill's book is the only tool that people can use to actually change their lives.

However, he clearly states in the book that only a select few will ever understand the Secret that he has made mention of. Dr. Hill's hope was that these few people out of the millions that bought his book would make the world a better place.

Napoleon Hill placed a premium on Ideas, and as you know there are only a few original ideas each decade, and ever fewer men and women who know how to turn them into reality. Think about much suffering is still going on today around the world. Clearly, Dr. Hill's objective that people can rid themselves of poverty through Thinking has not been achieved yet.

There are still great strides required in Health Research, Computer Technology, Pollution Prevention, Political Science, etc... to make the world a more livable, safer place. Much of what is going on today in Universities and Corporations does not pass for true, groundbreaking thinking and as such does not fall under Dr. Hill's requirements for Think and Grow Rich.

As an example of people Dr. Hill would approve of, Isaac Newton would come to mind as an original thinker. Similarly, Dr. James Naismith, who invented basketball. How about Dr. Salk, who invented to Polio vaccine. Then there are the people who ran with these ideas and created fortunes. Are there any people out there who are willing to go to this type of level to change their lives? If there are, this book is for you! --This text refers to the paperback edition of this title

I disagree with the reader from estonia
The principles outlined by napoleon hill are sound and practical. But they do require the reader to put in the effort. The book provides the guidelines, the reader must provide the effort. In Dr. Hill's own words - ' nature frowns upon the idea of something for nothing' --This text refers to the paperback edition of this title

This book turned my life around
In 1990, I returned home (Orlando,Fl) after a crashing business failure in Hawaii. I had read Think & Grow Rich many years before along with other mind books including "You can if you Think you can" by Norman Vincent Peale. Frustrated, I decided to go back to my "roots" and dug out the old dog eared copy of "Think and Grow Rich" that I had packed away and began to read and most importantly apply the techniques. Within weeks, I found a new opportunity and within months, my income had grown to a personal high. I really can't say enough about Think and Grow Rich, except read it and apply the principles. The other book that came into my life at the same time I began to reread Think and Grow Rich was "More Wealth without Risk" by Charles Givens and oh yes, I also reread You can if you Think you can by Dr. Peale. I highly endorse all three books for anyone serious about success. --This text refers to the paperback edition of this title

Hmmm....A very ordinary book?
Looks like the one star review needs more than just a book to change his/her life! (Spelled Read as red and capitalization was off! Maybe needs an education before he/she could be successful!) Anyway, this book is AWESOME and you really need this book to make your life easier. Success is hard but the book has the answers for you. That's all I can really say! --This text refers to the paperback edition of this title

The one "must-have" book for every African-American.
This book has changed my life. The insightfulness of Kimbrow, coupled with the knowledge of the late Napoleon Hill was just the right mixture for success. The advice is powerful. This is not a "get - rich scheme". Kimbro gives you the precise steps that it will take to assist you in overcoming adversity. If you want to change your way of thinking and grow to the next level, this is the book for you. I highly recommend it! --This text refers to the paperback edition of this title

eye opener
The US school system should incorporate this info and spend less time teaching subjects that do not help our children that can not make them successful into their adult careers. Such as math, english, history, social studies. If children were taught this info we, as a nation, would have a large lead over the other global communities. --This text refers to the paperback edition of this title
