Think and grow rich is the greatest self improvement book

[Ramanujan]

TAGR is the greatest self improvement book. It points everything towards one point. 7 habits is up there too. But 7 habit is complex . imo Think and grow rich is more powerful. It is not just some law of attraction , but contain other principles too , like Nofap , Faith , persistance , acquiring knowledge or skills in your field , making plans etc. 

7 habits is also owsome. 7 habit is extremely complex and extremely deep. It is the single most deepest book on self improvement. But imo 7 habit takes a balanced approach to life. U will be a balanced human.  Think and grow rich is super concentrated on one point , which make it more powerful. 7 habits can also be made super powerful . 

 

Think and grow rich is more powerful in my opinion. U will get a burning desire , which make u take massive action

Napoleon Hill is a legend. That book was writtern in 1935 . took him 25 years of research.

Stephen covey is a legend too

it’s easy to convince yourself of that, but it’s simply the case that 7 years ago you were not as mature as you are today.

Napoleon Hill was a psychopath.

 

He would practice under the term "Attorney at law" despite the fact that he never did legal services for anyone. 
 

He would physically abuse his wives and frequently cheat on them with prostitutes.

 

He committed mail fraud in the lumber industry and most historians doubt that he ever actually met Andrew Carnegie.

 

He later fled to Washington DC to avoid bankruptcy with the pseudonym "Napoleon Hill." He would found an automobile college, which would later go bankrupt because students were not paid for their labor. 
 

Because of this, his focus then became on how to sell cars—but it more so focused on how to get more people to sign up: this business model would eventually become a multi-level marketing scheme. 
 

Illinois had several warrants for his arrest. He tried to sell shares of his fraudulent automobile college at $100,000 despite its assets only being worth $1,200.

 

His "George Washington Institute" was later found to be fraudulent by many of his students and it was unaccredited. 
 

The FTC charged him for fraudulent advertising in 1919 and they discovered that the funds he raised for a veterans charity were being put into oil stock. 
 

Most historians doubt that he ever actually met Franklin D. Roosevelt and they doubt that Hill was the one who coined the phrase "the only thing we have to fear is fear itself." 
 

He divorced his wife after he met a younger girl at one of his lectures who he proposed to the next day. He would end up living with his own son, and Hill's son's wife left due to harassment and abuse with his son.

 

After the financial success of think and grow rich, he joined The Royal Fraternity of the Master Metaphysicians cult, and the book become a religious text. Most of the book was written by Hill's "spirit voices."

The cult would adopt a kid and raise them in a way that would purportedly grant them immortality, and Hill become the godfather. But police caught wind of this eventually and the cult's leader, no surprise, said that Hill had scammed him. 
 

Most of the book's money went to his divorced wife, and his later books would prove to be financial failures. In 1952 he launched yet another get rich quick scam.

 

Just something to think about.
