Think & Grow Rich – Napoleon Hill

Think and Grow Rich has been called the "Granddaddy of All Motivational Literature." It was the first book to boldly ask, "What makes a winner?" Napoleon Hill spent 20 years interviewing 500 of the most successful people in America - including Andrew Carnegie, Henry Ford, Thomas Edison, and John D. Rockefeller - to find the common thread. The answer is not luck, not talent, not connections. It is a definite purpose, a burning desire, and a plan.

The 13 principles Hill identified - desire, faith, autosuggestion, specialized knowledge, imagination, organized planning, decision, persistence, the master mind, the mystery of sex transmutation, the subconscious mind, the brain, and the sixth sense - are not abstract. They are a system. Apply them and the results speak for themselves.

In every chapter, you will be introduced to a famous American who achieved greatness by discovering how to use these principles. You'll meet Henry Ford, Thomas Edison, John D. Rockefeller, and Andrew Carnegie - people who started with nothing and built empires. Napoleon Hill shows you their secret: a burning desire translated into a definite plan, backed by persistence. Nothing more. Nothing less.

This is not a book about positive thinking. It is a book about a method. The 13 principles are not suggestions - they are the distilled findings from 20 years of research and 500 interviews with the most successful people in American history. Use them.
