Think and Grow Rich has been
called the “Granddaddy of All Motivational Literature.” It was the first
book to boldly ask, “What makes a winner?” The man who asked and
listened for the answer, Napoleon Hill, is now counted in the top ranks
of the world's winners himself. The most famous of all teachers of
success spent “a fortune and the better part of a lifetime of effort” to
produce the “Law of Success” philosophy that forms the basis of his
books and that is so powerfully summarized in this one.
In the original Think and Grow Rich,
published in 1937, Hill draws on stories of Andrew Carnegie, Thomas
Edison, Henry Ford, and other millionaires of his generation to
illustrate his principles. In the updated version, Arthur R. Pell,
Ph.D., a nationally known author, lecturer, and consultant in human
resources management and an expert in applying Hill's thought, deftly
interweaves anecdotes of how contemporary millionaires and billionaires,
such as Bill Gates, Mary Kay Ash, Dave Thomas, and Sir John Templeton,
achieved their wealth. Outmoded or arcane terminology and examples are
faithfully refreshed to preclude any stumbling blocks to a new
generation of readers.
