Book of the Week: "Think and Grow Rich" by Napoleon Hill
One of my resolutions this year was to read more. One book per week, ideally on my iPad while working out (a bit ambitious, I know). Books inspire ideas, provoke, educate, delight and motivate. I especially love reading biographies, books about innovation, business and entrepreneurship.
I am starting the year, re-reading one my favorites “Think and Grow Rich” by Napoleon Hill. I was introduced to this book by chance, awhile back while studying for my real estate broker’s exam. One of the instructors mentioned it as one of his favorite books and I decided to check it out to add some variety to my medley of law and real estate books at that time.
Published in 1937, “Think and Grow Rich” summarizes the teachings of Andrew Carnegie, Henry Ford, Thomas Edison and many others on achievement, success and breakthroughs. If you own your own business, or aspire to be an entrepreneur, innovator, self-starter, I think this book would make an excellent addition to your library. I have read this book many times, and every time I get some new nuggets of information that I somehow missed on a previous read. I also find that reading it at the beginning of the Year can give you a little extra motivation to get some of those goals achieved… Afterall, I agree with Diana Scharf Hunt “Goals are dreams with deadlines”.
*To the left is the version of the book I have purchased many times and given as gifts to friends.
I was lucky enough to find a free version of this book on my iPad, check out iBooks to see if it is still available.
Have you read this book? What are your thoughts? Let me know here or on my Facebook page.
Think and Grow Rich, Week 1
I have already downloaded my book for next week: “Boomerang” by Michael Lewis--and I'm curious, if anyone has read it?
