About the author

Oliver Napoleon Hill was an American self-help author and conman. He is best known for his book Think and Grow Rich (1937), which is among the best-selling self-help books of all time. Hill's works insisted that fervid expectations are essential to improving one's life. Most of his books were promoted as expounding principles to achieve "success".
Hill is a controversial figure. Accused of fraud, modern historians also doubt many of his claims, such as that he met Andrew Carnegie and that he was an attorney.

"Keep your mind fixed on the things I want and off the things I don't want." (Napoleon Hill, The Science of Personal Achievement)

This program is based on Napoleon Hill's book Think and Grow Rich, which by the way is consistently recommended by all wealthy people from billionaires and millionaires. I have read 100's of books by billionaires and this book is consistently mentioned as a book that had a great impact on their lives. This program is based on the book and discussed what he calls the 17 Universal Principles of Success and Achievement. These are:

1. Definiteness of Purpose
2. The Master Mind Principle
3. Applied Faith
4. Pleasing Personality
5. Going the Extra Mile
6. Personal Initiative
7. Self-Discipline
8. Controlled Attention
9. Enthusiasm
10. Imagination
11. Learning from Adversity and Defeat
12. Budgeting Time and Money
13. Positive Mental Attitude
14. Accurate Thinking
15. Sound Physical Health
16. Cooperation
17. Cosmic Habitforce

There was a lot covered in these materials. I think something that popped out at me personally is that we have to learn to control our thoughts. God has given us the power to control our thoughts. We require to keep our thoughts on the things we want and not on the things we don't want. If we keep our minds on the things we don't want, we will start to attract the things we don't want. If we keep our minds on the things we want, then the things we want will start to be attracted to us. This is also called The Law of Attraction. This isn't easy and requires a lot of self-discipline. Also, we just have to get so busy working toward our goals that we don't have time to think on the negative. This works! Get busy defining your goals and get busy working on your goals and your goals will start to manifest in front of your eyes. Remember, the joy is in the journey, not the destination.

I listened to the audio of this--it has various audio clips of Napoleon Hill while he was alive. He's very wise and in tune with truths that many people are oblivious to. He is a man whose life I desire to study more intently...

Perhaps worthy of a better rating by me - because this is wisdom gold no doubt. But if your familiar with Napoleon Hills work - this seems to be another version of the same work published under a different title - was nice again to hear the authors voice in recorded format teaching some of his foundational and key success principles based around his teachings.

Hearing many of Hill's old speeches in this audiobook, where he seemed to be going off the cuff quite often, seemed to show what he valued most in personal development. Selective mentoring was hugely important to him, as were mastermind groups and connecting with others. His stories about Carnegie and Edison were cool to hear. Much of it is what you'd expect if you're familiar with Hill or the genre: controlled attention, clear goals with relentless pursuit, affirmations, optimism, enthusiasm, etc.

Something about old books is that if they are still relevant by the time you read them, they should be read annually because their information is priceless

[Vishalkumar · Rating 5 out of 5]

A best and concise book on personal development.

[Eric · Rating 2 out of 5]

While it is good information, it's nothing you have not heard if you've read Think and Grow Rich.

[Lefford Fate · Rating 5 out of 5]

This is a powerful book. There are no nonsense steps you can take to live a better life.

[Kenny McGinnis · Rating 3 out of 5]

This book basically says (over and over): if you want a thing bad enough, you'll get it...
I will probably read it again someday, but it doesn't seem like I want anything that badly today - except maybe balance, which feels opposite to the ideas of this book.

The principles of success are never outdated. This book is just as important now as it was when it was written. We detail the Success Principles in the Inspired Blog http://www.annhawkins.com

The content is pretty repetitive. I liked it except the audiobook version includes the original recordings having a lot of background noise making it a pain to listen.

[Daoning Zhou · Rating 5 out of 5]

I listened to the audiobook version of this.

Some of these ideas are intuitive, it was good to hear them validated by Napoleon Hill. This was a easy listen while on commute.

[Meghann Conter · Rating 5 out of 5]

Even better than TAGR. Especially on audio, where you get to hear recordings of Napoleon- a man way before his time!
