Think and Grow Rich

Prepared by Nataliia Derzhylo

Think and Grow Rich was written by Napoleon Hill in 1937 and promoted as a personal
development and self-improvement book. He claimed to be inspired by a suggestion from
a business magnate and later-philanthropist Andrew Carnegie.
Think and Grow Rich is based on Hill's earlier work The Law of Success, said to be the
result of more than twenty years of study of many individuals who had amassed personal
fortunes.
Hill studied their habits and drew some 16 "laws" to be applied to achieve success. Think
and Grow Rich condenses them, providing the reader with 14 principles in the form of a
"Philosophy of Achievement". The book asserts that desire, faith, and persistence can
propel one to great heights if one can suppress negative thoughts and focus on long-term
goals.
This book is one of the few books I've read many times. While the book's title and much of
the writing concerns increasing income, I insist that the philosophy of this book can help
people succeed in any line of work, to do and be anything they can imagine. So I highly
recommend reading this book not only for entrepreneurs, business owners, anyone
unsatisfied with their success but actually for everyone who wants to develop her/his self.
