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.

Very informative and you can tell that many modern self help books are influenced by his ideas

[Bryant York · Rating 3 out of 5]

This book is great for people who are comfortable cherry picking information (IF I WASNT ABLE TO CHERRYPICK, this book would be a Goodreads 1.5). A lot of the ideas in this book are pretty solid, and are similar to other self help books. But the certainty of what he's saying, and the "science" he uses to back it up is off-putting. Honestly some of the beliefs are malarky, but when you pay attention to those situations in real life, you understand that there's something to what he points out.

I will say that there are 2 things that stuck with me:
- ideas flow well and grow within a small group of people compared to just yourself
- his idea of the "golden rule"

Here is what I got from the rule: Treat others how you want to be treated because you will become how you treat others. You are what you put out into the world, therefore you are doing a disservice to yourself when you mistreat your fellow man. And that God is within you, so if you mistreat yourself, you are also mistreating God. And on the flip side, if you love others, you will end up loving yourself and loving God...I love that either way, God or not, you are the most important person in your life, so practice what you preach because that's the only way you'll get there.

That's a little bit of a ramble. Lots of runoffs in that golden rule paragraph, but hopefully the point is there.

And in case you were wondering, I am agnostic.

Recommended as a business book.
Its actually about gaining personal financial stability through hopeful thinking and savings.
Not that great, very much focused on American scenarios which are not relevant outside of the USA, such as putting aside 10% of savings for Health Care and the same amount for Life Insurance.
Another chapter goes into great length to preach christian “do unto others” mantras before progressing onto Law of Attraction mumbo jumbo.
A nonsense wishy hopey omnipotent presence in the universe book.

I read a condensed version of this book with an amalagmation of the book think and grow rich. I realise reading some of the advise I should have been a lot more confident and ambitious much earlier in life. Anyway I guess there's still hope that I can bank on.
