"I just don't listen when people tell me I can't do something," I read the line from Janine Shepherd's incredible story that James Whittaker wrote in chapter one of this book. I wipe an empathetic and touched tear away. Jame's writing made me feel like I was there next to her through the ups and downs.

I'm inspired. I put down this book with my heart fuller than when I picked it up.

And those words were the words I, Laura, needed to hear before bed that night, reenergizing my mindset and determination for the next day. A little heart push to keep me on my unique path.

Think and Grow Rich: The Legacy is next level Chicken Soup for the Soul. It's for the entrepreneurs, action takers and dreamers who want to make a massive impact on this world. It levels up your courage and grit with every page.

Reading just one of these chapters each night before bed has become my favorite way to prime my energy for the next day.

Setting our site on the horizon of our dreams and taking action day after day towards it is hard work. This book reminds us, with its rich short stories, of unbelievable humans who show us it IS possible. It's not because of gender, money, race or upbringing. It's anyone. It's YOU. It's me. We all can have an extraordinary story and success.

And this Legacy to Napoleon Hill and the Think and Grow Rich lessons are brought back to life in a powerful way.

This will be the new book everyone gets for Christmas and birthdays this year!! It's the book we should all have on our bedside tables.

James Whittaker has nailed this book and a Tribute to Hill's Legacy. After reading the Think and Grow Rich original classic by Napoleon Hill, this book has made understanding the principles of Hill's work alot easier by having easy to read real life success stories to relate to and put them to plan. I now have the motivation and strong desire to get what I want in life thanks to James Whittaker and Think and Grow Rich: The Legacy...... This book must be read!

[Sandy Waters · Rating 5 out of 5]

This book is FANTASTIC! I can't say enough about it. James Whittaker did a stellar job of reinforcing Napoleon Hill's classic 13 success principles with real-life stories of inspirational people in today's culture. I gotta say, as a mom, I'm always trying to find creative ways to get through to my kids. Teach them to work hard and not be afraid to take risks. Honestly, this book is cutting through, it has really made an impact on them (and me).

[Jeff · Rating 5 out of 5]

Love, love, love this book. James Whittaker has done a wonderful job of taking this classic and bringing it to a whole new generation of people. I'm buying copies for all my nieces and nephews. It's a must-read for young people today, right up there with How to Win Friends and Influence People.

[Brandon Adams · Rating 5 out of 5]

"This book is a must read for anyone who wants to blaze their own trail in life to have massive success no matter what their background, age, or current situation. James brings stories that will inspire, motivate, and educate you to go after whatever it is you desire in life."

I'm on the mailing list for the Napoleon Hill Foundation, so read this book on Kindle when it first came out and also saw the film version. I was quite surprised with the quality of the book - it goes into much more detail than the film does so I guess is a good pairing.

Many people will inevitably compare 'Think and Grow Rich: The Legacy' to 'The Secret', but they really are very different. The 'Think and Grow Rich: The Legacy' book and film are a lot more practical than 'The Secret', but maybe that's because a) they learned from the criticism of The Secret, and/or b) they have a cast who have led by example rather than being 'airy-fairy gurus' who don't have real world business experience. Don't get me wrong, I quite enjoyed the movie 'The Secret' and thought the book was pretty good too.

Either way, congratulations to the Foundation and to the people who brought 'Think and Grow Rich: The Legacy' to life. I feel like it's a good balance of inspiration and actionable advice. The Napoleon Hill brand has received a very timely and exciting shake-up.

Some people wonder if the 13 success principles still work in 2018 like they did when Think and Grow Rich was first published in 1937. The real-life stories shared in this Legacy edition will convince you that you can overcome your adversities, find the seed of an equivalent benefit, and profit from it. No matter where you are in life right now, it is the best time to start. W. Clement Stone used to say 'Do It Now!' and you can start by purchasing the book for yourself.

If you have people in your life that could benefit from the success principles in Think and Grow Rich, give them this book as a gift.

I interviewed James on the Humans 2.0 podcast after reading the Think & Grow Rich The Legacy and I was baffled. At first, I thought, how could you touch an original self-help abundance mindset masterpiece from Napoleon Hill? After reading the book I fully understood the need for the modern day companion. If you love T&GR you will LOVE James' book :)

[Shreedevi Gurumurty · Rating 5 out of 5]

A sensational and essential companion to the bestselling self-help book of all time-Napoleon Hill's 1937 classic, Think and Grow Rich. This book inspired me as I read through the unflinching accounts of the world's most successful entrepreneurs, thought leaders, and cultural icons who rose above the unlikeliest-and in some cases, most tragic- of circumstances to find personal fulfilment and make their mark on the world. There were so many incredible lessons to learn from this book and what really stood out for me was that potential isn't predicted on age, race, finances, education, or any other perceived misfortune. It is the consistent application of a proven formula that turns simple thoughts into massive action, thereby elevating ordinary people to extraordinary success. Through effective utilisation of Desire, Faith, Auto-Suggestion, Specialised Knowledge, Organised Planning, Decision, Persistence, The Power of the Mastermind, Mystery of Sex Transmutation, The Subconscious Mind, The Brain and The Sixth Sense-anyone can stop settling, and start living lives of purpose and fulfilment. This book features the against the odd stories of renowned personalities such as former pro athlete and media mogul Rob Drydek, venture capitalist and Shark tank television personality Barbara Corcoran, self-help guru and international speaker Bob Proctor, NFL Pro Football Hall of Fame quarterback Warren Moon, property mogul and bestselling author Grant Cardone, Australian personal finance guru Noel Whittaker, American CPA and co-author of Rich Dad Poor Dad Sharon Lechter, founder of the Narrative Television Network Jim Stovall, author of bestselling Think and Grow Rich: A Black Choice-Dr.Dennis Kimbro, advertising and marketing executive as well as author of Think and Grow Rich: A Latino Choice-Lionel Sosa and finally Napoleon Hill's grandson, and distinguished Marine Corps serviceman and doctor, James Hill to name a few.This book provides both a call to readers to think about the current moments in their lives, and to think about their future as well-and to steward both for the better, and to consider what we're really procrastinating on.

GOOD HABITS = THINKING POSITIVE THOUGHTS, SURROUNDING YOURSELVES WITH WINNERS, APPLYING WHAT YOU LEARN, NURTURING YOUR DESIRES AS A BURNING OBSESSION, AND PAYING THE PRICE EACH DAY FOR THIER FUTURE SUCCESS.

Pay careful attention to your state of mind because it will act on whatever you focus on the most. Ie No negative thoughts!

Faith is the only known antidote to failure.

Negative attitudes can never bring a positive outcome, so significant focus should be placed on eliminating that from your own character first.

When you control your thoughts you enjoy every moment.

Simply continuing is one of the surest paths to success.

Desires can be exacerbated or diminished by one's surroundings, which is why choosing your friends and environment are so important.

Technology offers todays generations many easy outlets for impulses that, if not checked, can serve as an ongoing distraction to your definite purpose.

At the counter of success there are no bargains. You must pay the price in advance and in full.

[Alan Newton · Rating 3 out of 5]

A good modern day accompaniment to Napoleon Hill’s 1937 classic “Think and Grow Rich”, summarising his 13 principles for success, supported by real-world examples of people whose success can be attributed to one or more of the principles.

Having already read Think and Grow Rich, this was a good modern day update and accompaniment to the work, but - equally - it could be used as an introduction to Hill’s seminal book, and one could happily delve deeper into Hills concepts and principles having established a suitable thirst through this book.

[Barry Wilkinson · Rating 5 out of 5]

An outstanding Job by James Whittaker with this book, the book was refreshing and I couldn't put the book down due to it's real life stories and Napoleon Hill's classic 13 success principles throughout the book. I couldn't recommend this book enough to anyone who wants to read it. Great Job James, wonderful achievement.

[D.Karnatz$ · Rating 5 out of 5]

I took this book along on a work trip and absolutely love it. James has a great style of writing that makes this book very engaging, easy to read, yet high-brow and well informed. The concrete manifestation of Napoleon Hill’s principles, in the individuals he profiles, along with his breaking of the 4th wall and calling the reader to action makes this a powerful read.

[Miroslaw Wcislo · Rating 5 out of 5]

If you read the original then this is a must. Sometimes the original Think and Grow Rich can be overwhelming with older texts and saying, while this version has up-to-date writing and includes more individuals that you can relate to. It is an absolute must in one library and a must if looking searching for the "how" in your life.

Inspiration and Information that Transforms Businesses and Lives! Thought leaders and entrepreneurs of today share their achievement philosophy. I had the pleasure of having James Whittaker as a guest on the 5 Minute Success podcast where he shared Secrets of How to Think and Grow Rich Revealed.

It was absolutely fantastic to meet James after reading this game-changing book. He truly embodies the core messages of having vision, faith, and tenacity, and the book is a great modern-day version of the classic book. Absolutely love it!

One of best books I have read in a long time. It is not only motivating, but also inspirational especially after reading the first book by Napolean Hill. A must read book. Get it and you won't be disappointed.

Chock full of success stories

I'd just recently read Napoleon Hill's Think and Grow Rich from 1937. While it was every bit as applicable today as the day it was written, this update by James Whittaker is full of success stories from names I recognize from today's headlines.

A shorter, modern version of the classic by Hill. Mostly about those who have made a significant impact in life, based on the original text. Good to read (or listen to) !

After reading Think and Grow rich, the original book, and watching Think and Grow Rich: The Legacy movie I was dying to read the book! James did a great job in focusing on bringing out the principles of TGR and highlighting all the people who were interviewed in the book. It got me very inspired to use TGR in my own daily life to reach the successes the I dream about. Must read for people who need that mental mindset shift!
