Think (Again) and Grow Rich!




Napoleon Hill’s book entitled Think and Grow Rich is a foundation work in the self-help genre. Hill claimed – although the truth of this has never been established – that in 1908 the world’s richest man, Andrew Carnegie, commissioned Hill to interview 500 highly successful individuals. The purpose was to identify a “formula for wealth” that anyone could put into action.

The result was Think and Grow Rich, published in 1937. Whatever may or may not have taken place between Hill and Andrew Carenigie, or between Hill and any of the people he claimed to have interviewed, the book has been a huge international best seller for many years. Many successful people have credited the lessons in Think and Grow Rich for their achievements.

Like who? Well, Larry Flynt, the publisher of Hustler magazine, for one! Is that good enough for you?

More recently, the writer James Altucher has undertaken a similar mission to the one described my Napoleon Hill -- and I personally find the new results more illuminating. Here’s a link to Altucher’s blog. Read it, you fool, or do you have all the money you need?!
