The Simple Formula: Money on the brain equals HIP, HIP...HURRAH! January 12, 2008

Come on! Is it really that simple? If we constantly think about money, we will eventually be rich? This book is responsible for making more millionaires than any other book in history. There must be something here. Listening to the many success stories that credit this book really sparked our interest, so we checked it out. This is what we found:
First: We must say up front, this book is NOT for everyone. You have to be ready to receive this information in order to understand it. This is something we learned in our many attempts to read it.
Second: Published originally in 1937 during the Great Depression, Napoleon Hill gave his contribution to society by revealing the secret of the wealthy he discovered after several hundred interviews. AHHH! Did we say SECRET? Well, of course we did. Believe it or not, the very popular book written by Rhonda Byrne, "The Secret," has the same principles written in this book. With all of our technical and scientific advances, we as a society are just discovering universal laws Napoleon Hill knew many decades ago. The only thing...Napoleon Hill's version of this "secret" seems to have been written in code. He wanted the reader to discover this secret on their own...when they were ready for it. This is why people not understanding the universal laws will find it hard to read..at least this was our first experience. After reading books like "Ask and it is Given," by Esther and Jerry Hicks, and The Law of Attraction by Michael Losier who explained these laws in basic terms, we were able to see the brilliance of Napoleon Hill. Once you can get a solid understanding of these principles, this book appears to be the blueprint for all that followed. (Question: Did Rhonda Byrne ever reveal the name of the "100-year-old" book from which she learned this secret? ...HMMMM?)
Last, but certainly far from least, this book is not just about MONEY! Examples like Napoleon Hill son's success and the Edwin C. Barnes' story demonstrate that this book is about success of any kind.
Napoleon Hill goes through a 13-step formula of success given to him by his mentor and a multi-millionaire (billionaire equivalent in our time), Andrew Carnegie. Carnegie asked Napoleon Hill to make this information available to everyone. Think and Grow Rich! fulfills Andrew Carnegie's request! We no longer have to wonder if these so-called universal principles really work...this book was written long ago and many millionaires have proven its validity. It is time to get this information out to the world. There REALLY is something here!

Hill basically blathers about the law of attraction and how to focus your thoughts and energies towards riches. Think rich, meditate rich, envision rich, and the law of attraction will eventually make you rich. The same goes for any desire you may have.
Even though this is a "classic" I would not recommend this book. I got about half-way through and couldn't read any longer. I found it to be horribly written. The thought process was unorganized and the wording flowery and intangible. Often the stories and illustrations were irrelevant to the lessons being taught. Overall very unpractical. I did find certain parts of the book to be slightly motivating, thus two stars instead of one.

One of the all time books. There was a point in my life where I wasn't going anywhere and didn't have any direction. Someone recommended this book to me and has changed my life forever. Now, I am the author of Don't Wait Get in S.H.A.P.E. - Drop Fat Fast and Get Fit Quick thanks to the teachings of Napoleon Hill's book. It's always time to Think and Grow Rich.
