Wishes Won't Bring Riches

by Napoleon Hill

In this lost classic, the pioneering motivational coach teaches how to make the crucial leap from faith to action in bringing your dreams to life.

Believe in yourself...Have faith. We often hear these expressions. But faith is not enough. We need Applied Faith. In three hard-hitting chapters, motivational master Napoleon Hill teaches you how to transform belief to action, and faith into real-life plans.

Application. Enthusiasm. Action. These are the three keys required to do more than just "believe in yourself"--but to actually BE the person you want to be.

Wishes Won't Bring Riches provides you with the missing link necessary to go from visualizing your dreams to living them.

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.

Napoleon Hill's Wishes Won't Bring Riches turned out to be a very practical guide to putting wishes into action. I listened to the audio version and almost turned it off after the first hour. I am glad I didn't. The mind is very powerful and sometimes I forget what I tell myself can come about. Be careful what you tell yourself 😉 Also action, not just thought is required.

Awesome book by the grandmaster of self help. This book is a part of the 4 book series of Mental Dynamite. Must buy.

[Kelley · Rating 4 out of 5]

These books are always interesting. I feel like I've heard the message a hundred times, but it can't hurt to hear or read it over and over. All of Napoleon Hill's things are moving and despite being written in a different time, they are still just as applicable now as then.

It's somewhat boring, to be honest. Comes as a big, written interview with Andrew Carnegie rather than a big insight made by the author.

This book is really a life changer. I thought the author could not top his "Think and Grow Rich Book", which is also amazing work. Was very impressed and so happy I had the chance to read this.

"Since the persistent man is likely to have what he desires, be sure to ask only for the things that are best." "Wishes won't bring riches. Action must follow thought to reach one's goal." "A man doesn't know his strength until he realizes his weakness." "Plan your work, and work your plan."

Read and heed

Take action. Reflect on your actions. The more I practice these truths, principles and habits, the more they are established in my subconscious mind for easy access.

One of Hill's lesser-known books. Not as revolutionary as his other ones but it is a reminder that action is required for success.

Anecdotes about how to create wealth, having a master mind circle of peers

Read this because of a recommendation in one of those top 10 lists.

Has anyone who recommended a Napoleon Hill book ever actually read one?
