Great summary of some of Napoleon Hills’s principles, with real life examples included. Definitely recommended for fans of Think and Grow Rich and The Law of Success.

Một cuốn sách hay về triết lý kinh doanh và làm giàu của Napoleon Hill, được truyền tải bởi Don Green - Giám Đốc Điều Hành của Quỹ Napoleon Hill. Cuốn sách gồm 15 chương và được cô đọng thành những bài viết ngắn gọn về việc làm sao để đạt được thành công trong kinh doanh. Tác giả cổ vũ cho việc theo đuổi giấc mơ đến cùng và hãy kiên định với lựa chọn của chính bản thân mình. Tôi rất tâm đắc với cuốn sách này. Đây là một cuốn sách tôi sẽ nghiền ngẫm và đọc lại trong một khoảng thời gian 6 tháng để hấp thụ được những tinh hoa của nó.

Easy to understand;
as a motivating quote lover, there're some good quotes for me to write down.
Also, I learned about some people or stories or book recommendations that are helpful to me.

[Roni Matar · Rating 1 out of 5]

A badly written book, full of regurgitated self help material and quotes, even misquotes.
Not recommended.

[Ismael Duarte Pereira · Rating 5 out of 5]

Leitura fácil, com diversas citações de Napoleon Hill, bíblicas e de outros autores conhecidos. Mas nem por isso menos importantes.

"What the mind of man can conceive and believe, it can achieve."
In 1937, Napoleon Hill published his groundbreaking book "Think and Grow Rich". Today, this book continues to inspire and motivate millions of world-wide readers seeking success.

Don Green shares the lessons that he has learned about success and the power of positive thinking in this autobiographical book. Mr. Green discovered the book "Think and Grow Rich" when he was in his twenties. He details Napoleon Hill's influence on his own success, growing up in rural Virginia and going on to become a bank CEO at just 41 years old. The author has been a life-long lover of books on success, including biographies, and has gained a great deal of knowledge from these readings.

The principles of success do not change. When these principles are studied and applied, those who follow them can expect the same results that successful people have obtained. But remember, you can't just think, dream, or wish for something to happen; you must take action!

This book is a real gold mine of insight, inspiration and motivation. The author shares his own experiences and shares the life stories of many successful people who have influenced his career and his personal life.

As a former librarian, I am especially impressed with Mr. Green's love of reading. Biographies are true lessons in life from which the reader can glean life-changing ideas and examples. Mr. Green includes an entire chapter in this book about how reading hundreds of inspirational stories, self-help books and biographies has inspired him to great levels of success. I have always been drawn to biographies and I felt a special connection with the author and his love of true-life books.

"Everything I Know About Success I Learned From Napoleon Hill" is much more than a guide to achieving monetary success. This is a guide for successful living that will benefit all ages. If you read this book and apply the principles to your life, you will be greatly rewarded. The lessons presented in this book are an educational course for living life to the fullest. Highly recommended!

This was interesting but it was not really anything new or earth-shaking. That said, the essential truths are just that and really whether you read Maxwell or Covey or someone else, the difference is just the way they state them, not the truths themselves. You must have a vision and setting goals, preferably in writing, is a major step. You must apply yourself thoughtfully and consistently in the pursuit of those goals. You must persevere in the face of obstacles and get mentors to assist you. You need self-discipline and self-reliance. Now go forth and succeed.

A compelling read about the principles of personal success.

Tons of lame quotes and a 200 page sales letter for the foundation's other books.

The book is good read for leisure reading.
