Posted February 8, 2016 (edited) I gave this book only a 9 out of 10 because of some of the long ass boring stories that Napoleon publishes about the successfull men he reviews. They don't really help and are tedious to read. Other than that, this book kicks ass! Best read this book and then watch Bob Proctors free seminar on youtube "You were born rich!" (and DO the assignments!) They really complete each other and Bob has a lot of his ideas from Napoleon. Also watch Bob Proctor "The 11 forgotten laws" on youtube to complete your knowledge. This book is really amazing, it will teach you a lot about the sub-conscious mind and the law of attraction. Napoleon Hill did a great job laying out the exact plan for you to manifest your deepest desire into reality. There are 15 Chapters and you have to read through all of them to understand the whole picture. Also he explains the concept of positive affirmation (auto-suggestion) and visualisation. He talks about desire and dedication, Faith, self-confidence,specialized knowledge, imagination, organized planning, how to be a leader and how not be a leader, decision, persistance, master mind, sex transmutation, love, emotions, the brain, the sixth sense and how to overcome fear. Bob Proctor builds his business upon this book and the work of Napoleon Hill. And Napoleon Hill spent 25 years working on this book. Check it out, it worth it!

Posted February 8, 2016 I read the book as a teenager and it really inspired me. Have to return to it at some stage. The audio - "Your right to be rich" - was even better. Have you heard it? Not that I have used it to transform my life just yet! Thanks for the suggestions of Bob Proctor, will have to look at all of them! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted February 8, 2016 It may be on youtube, have a google and see if it's available. It's a lecture series he did where he is lecturing to an audience. He goes through all the same principles but I just found it more engaging. I think I prefer an auditory style of learning. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted February 13, 2016 This is one of my favorite books. It is the basis for all material/financial success that I have right now. Your right that the stories can be tedious. In my second copy,(i own 3 of these books!) I even crossed out all the stories. Just wanted to keep the interesting concepts. This was my first self help book I remember reading this on the bus going to my dead end job, 15 years ago. So this book really inspired me to really examine my life and make changes for the better.

Posted February 13, 2016 I thought the stories were necessary and found them to be interesting. For the first 1/3 of the story I thought he was just telling me to be utterly desiring wealth(In short of a negative way). Then he went a bit into spirituality which I was surprised he would go. The guy was a brilliant man who spent decades on that book. 10/10 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted February 21, 2016 This is really one of the classic books about self realization out there. I also liked the Self-Analysis questions part of the book. It has opened up some key areas of my existence to look more deeply into. Chris Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I really hope it can help you on your mission and journey; I'll return to it myself over the following weeks and months, finish my notes on it and we can have a good discussion about it. Got about 25 % through it - making notes - before I got distracted, which is always my biggest issue. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted February 25, 2016 @Jackthelad I find that while reading and listening to stuff like that it is always good to have no distractions. Even if I listen to this when I work out I tend to miss some of the information, which is bad because that stuff is so important and profound. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted March 8, 2016 @Veggies make me fart Bob is amazing. Wach his free youtube seminar my friend. I have a lot of material about the laws and the subconscious mind, most from Bob and Napoleon. It's like a huge puzzle, the more you learn, the more you earn...oh wait, that was Tai Lopez. I mean the more sources you study the more you understand the laws.

I think the notion about praising the supply is bizarre because many times praise can have the opposite effect and decrease supply – that's where counter-psychology comes in. The law can apply quite universally to pets but not people. All in all the link was still worth the listen though.

Posted September 3, 2016 I was listening to some inspiring CD's that had suggested I read Napoleon Hills books , when I was looking into Hill I found Bob Proctor with his many Videos and good approach. Hill's teachings are the base of my actualization transformation from ineffective to effective. The original book versions are reported to have more tips that were removed in previous versions. I bought the paperback a few days ago and the audio book for ' Think and grow rich ' To top it off I picked up a CD , think and grow rich , Stickability : The Power of Perseverance Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted October 23, 2016 This is a great book, I read it once but I feel there are other books that put his concepts together better and more concise Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
