Plot Summary
Napoleon Hills famous book, Think and Grow Rich is a psychological examination into the power of thought and the brain. He explores how our thoughts can manifest our realities, especially in terms of progressing careers, and monetary success. This all-time classic self-help book is still relevant with its modern revisions by Arthur R. Pell. This book is not just for those wishing to build their income and wealth, it is for anyone wishing to succeed in any life aspiration. Napoleon Hill researched over 40 millionaires to figure out what made them rich. The main message of the book follows the narrative that whatever the mind can conceive and believe, the mind can achieve. Hill demonstrates how one can exploit the power of our thoughts and our mind to manifest anything we want into reality. Thus, he argues that personal beliefs play a role in success. He believes that if the desire is strong enough, and you are willing to put in the work, anything is attainable, even your wildest dreams. He teaches his audiences how to shift from a failure consciousness to a success consciousness through a series of steps: desire, ideas, plans, massive action, and success. Emotions are a vital part of our thought process and manifestation, and Hill suggests that negative and positive emotions should not co-exist in the mind. Despite the novels original publication of 1937, the ideas will resonate with even the youngest generations of today. With manifestation being a phenomenon discussed on social media, especially on TikTok, millennials and generation Z will be able to relate to Hills philosophies and psychological concepts that he argues drive us to success and fulfill our wildest aspirations. As we enter a global recession in the wake of a pandemic, the cost of living and inflation is on the rise, leaving many young people losing hope for their future. Napoleon Hills self-help book still stands in the modern context. Arthur R. Pells updated revisions will make it digestible for a new generation of readers and should provide them a new perspective when it comes to chasing their aspirations.
Publisher Summary
The bestselling success book of all time is updated and revised with contemporary ideas and examples. 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. Download and start listening now!
