About this ebook

Think and Grow Rich is a motivational personal development and self-help book written by Napoleon Hill and inspired by a suggestion from Scottish-American businessman Andrew Carnegie.

Ratings and reviews

The book has a lot of good ideas and is worth reading. Some of the writing is a little old-fashioned, in terms of phrasing and wording - but it's good to see books in their original form. Some of the ideas use validation by discredited scientific principles (the existence of the Ether, to transmit light and electromagnetism). There is also some use of pseudo-science (E.g.ESP) as evidence to support the ideas presented. But, the core principles are useful and independent valid.

This was a great read that affirmed many life experiences and Spiritual teachings. If you simply believe in Faith over fear and act on it daily, success will come. This book isn't about magically obtaining money or success, but rather the process by which you overcome the obstacles which are in the way of you achieving them readily. Tough to read sometimes because of the outdated science and language, but good nonetheless.
