Think and Grow Rich: The Landmark Bestseller Now Revised and Updated for the 21st Century Paperback - 2005
by Napoleon Hill
The bestselling success book of all time is updated and revised with contemporary ideas and examples.
Summary
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?" The man who asked and listened for the answer, Napoleon Hill, is now counted in the top ranks of the world's winners himself.
The most famous of all teachers of success spent "a fortune and the better part of a lifetime of effort" to produce the "Law of Success" philosophy that forms the basis of his books and that is so powerfully summarized in this one.
In the original Think and Grow Rich, published in 1937, Hill draws on stories of Andrew Carnegie, Thomas Edison, Henry Ford, and other millionaires of his generation to illustrate his principles. In the updated version, Arthur R. Pell, Ph.D., a nationally known author, lecturer, and consultant in human resources management and an expert in applying Hill's thought, deftly interweaves anecdotes of how contemporary millionaires and billionaires, such as Bill Gates, Mary Kay Ash, Dave Thomas, and Sir John Templeton, achieved their wealth. Outmoded or arcane terminology and examples are faithfully refreshed to preclude any stumbling blocks to a new generation of readers.
Reader reviews for Think and Grow Rich: The Landmark Bestseller Now Revised and Updated for the 21st Century
Review summary
Readers are sharply divided on Napoleon Hill’s Think and Grow Rich. Supporters praise it as a timeless, motivational blueprint for setting goals, cultivating desire and persistence, and boosting confidence—more a mindset manual than a business playbook. Critics attack its pseudoscientific claims and mystical flourishes (such as sex transmutation and thought vibrations), its repetitiveness, and its dated, at times offensive attitudes toward poverty, disability, and gender. Across opinions, many note it offers a few useful prompts for focus and habit-building but little in the way of concrete, modern financial guidance.
