Book Name- Think and grow rich


Author-Napoleon Hill
Revised and expanded by- Arthur R. Pell
Book review by Raj Sharma, STC Bengaluru.

Book Think and grow rich: By Napoleon Hill, is all about guiding people to principles what
makes people successful. It talks about the power within the self of a person. Hill has given a
thirteen step formula to think and grow rich.

The power of Thought is something we all have been hearing about. Whatever we can think,
we can achieve. Same thing has been demonstrated by author with some real life and
interesting stories. This takes us to understand the value of Positive thinking and visualising.
Faith may be an unexpected thing to find in a book about success and earning money.  But
faith is not necessarily talking about religion – rather the ability to create a state of mind using
affirmation or repeated instruction. This leads to the next step, Autosuggestion. This can be
a tuff step to read – the book talks about poverty being the result of mindset as people
believe they are doomed to poverty or failure.  The book says that negative belief is the cause
of their misfortune. Hill suggests we have faith in ourselves and faith in the infinite. Further
Hill talks about Specialised knowledge. General knowledge, no matter how much in quantity
or variety it may be, is of little use. Knowledge is not absolute power. It is only potential
power. It becomes power when it is organised properly into definite plans of action and
directed to a definite end. Imagination is the prerequisite of creation. Everything which has
been created, has been imagined first. The imagination is the power of creation. Then book
moves forwards to teach about Organised Planning. All what we have learned must be
planned to use in the direction to achieve the objectives. The book leads to the statement- A
Quitter never wins and a winners never quits.

A bad idea put in actions is better than hundred good ideas never implemented. This
book guides to next step Decision to implement the Plan organised. Persistence is and
essential factor in the procedure of transmuting desire into its monetary equivalent. The
basis of persistence is power of will. Power of the Mind is required to reach to success.
Power of mind is necessary for retention of success which have been achieved. Love and
affection is most powerful emotion of humankind. To understand this energy and than
divert it towards the objectives is like unleashing the power of a storm in right direction which
will transform everything. The power of Sub-Conscious mind opens the doors for universal
energy to conspire towards the achievement of objectives. The brain power conscious and
sub-conscious is a collective flow of inner and universal power in right direction. The sixth
sense is the sound of soul. It connects the soul with brain and mind. This sense can be
developed with help of meditation.

This book is a good read for people looking to transform life by applying already proven
principals. It does set the foundation for you to grow and cope with all the things this career
path will throw at you. It is not an easy read, but it is a very good book.
