I recently started reading Napoleon Hill’s “Think and Grow Rich” As you know, I am big time into personal development and usually try to have at least one great transformational book on the go at any time. This particular book was never on my “must-read” list but when it was the only book that looked remotely interesting at the airport bookstore in Bali, I thought I’d give it a go. I mean it is a self-help classic and I figured that if so many personal development gurus I admire today credit Napoleon Hill for kick-starting their own personal growth, the book had to be a winner. Not to mention Hill’s promise to reveal Andrew Carnegie’s “super-secret formula to true and lasting success” and “having whatever you want in life.”
How could I refuse?
Within minutes of reading it I realized that book was a bit outdated (it was, after-all, written in the 30’s) but I kept reading in hopes that if I thought hard enough money would start growing out of my ears. Needless to say that didn’t happen, but I did start feeling a bit green somewhere around chapter two.
