Great book

Good self help book

Perhaps I've been researching these matters for so long now that the principles hereby stated do seem "obvious" to me, but I was probably expecting to learn a thing or two from this book and was kind of disappointed. Of course, this cannot be considered an accurate review of the book itself, but rather my personal experience; yet I'd still suggest you go for some other of his teachings or a whole different author.As someone has rightfully said: these things were fine in 1937, but Now....

These series of transcripts, from radio presentations made by Napoleon Hill, circa 1951, are powerful and profound. I’ve read almost everything that Hill has written. This book represents some of his best work. As one who has written some less-than-favorable reviews of publications by the Napoleon Hill Foundation, I don’t say that lightly. Hill hammers home his points on what it takes to achieve a successful life with an electrifying energy and persuasiveness that leaves the reader captivated. Hill acknowledges the disaster wrought by his 1941 divorce from Rosa Beeland. It cost him over a million dollars that year (over $17,818,000 today) and the rights to the royalties of “Think and Grow Rich.” This setback took Napoleon Hill five years to overcome; here the reader assumes the reference is as much to the emotional component as the monetary. It’s a striking example of the strongest of emotions, love, and the consequences of being overcome by it. Hill was swept off his feet by a sexy beauty some twenty-five years younger than he. His loss of passionate control would soon cost him dearly. The author’s personal experiences (like this one) and his lifelong analysis of successful individuals can be of great benefit to the reader who applies the principles.
