 Powerful thinking April 25, 2008
3 out of 3 found this review helpful
This book is amazing. I suggest it for anyone who wants to control their lives rather then allowing life to control them. This book has no time restraint and was valid in 1927 when it was written as it still is today. Hill was a remarkable man who had a talent for knowing exactly how the universe operates. He gives many examples of famous people in life how their determination drove them to success. His endorsement by powerful men in history also confirms the power of this book. If you had just three books to read to be a successful person in life, this would be number one.
It's NOT titled WORK HARD and GROW RICH because... April 23, 2008
2 out of 2 found this review helpful
This book clearly states that money is an effect or result. How we think and the type of person we are and the value we provide to others is the cause. If you don't like the money you're making in your life, then you need to work on yourself first. Just like a diamond is nothing but a piece of coal under pressure for thousands of years turned valuable, so can a human become. The top earners are the most valued individuals in our society and our dollars vote this true. It's undeniable. That doesn't mean that any person is more or less valuable as an individual, but for exchange reasons (money) they are. You'll only get what you give.
Great book. Must read.
A fascinating example of how the principles of magic work April 14, 2008
2 out of 2 found this review helpful
This book provides an excellent example of how magic works. The author shows the necessity for learning how to govern the internal mind, through the use of transmuting sexual energies and also creating an inner council of the people a person embodies as successful. This book reenervated my business by showing me the path to success and wealth. The steps are easy to follow, as long as you are willing to put the effort in.
Indispensable reading for personal achievement April 9, 2008
5 out of 5 found this review helpful
I have saved my five star ratings regarding personal achievement books for only those that have had deep, positive, and lasting influence on my life. Think and Grow Rich deserves top mention among these books.
Putting the fame and large degree of positive reviews of this book aside, the validity of this book's strength is rooted in logic. Hill based more than two decades of his life assembling and refining the material for this book at the request of Andrew Carnegie. Carnegie, one of history's richest as well as most dignified and charitable people, was privy to a great source of proven knowledge confirmed by his own colossal life. A twenty year exploration into Carnegie's thoughts alone would be of significant value; however Hill takes his examination further into the thoughts of numerous magnates of achievement.
Supporting the strength of Think and Grow Rich is a long list of great achievers who regard this book among their most influential. If the sources of Hill's knowledge alone did not earn your attention, the high regard this book is held among people of lofty achievement should undeniably verify its authority on the topic.
It is not just the content of this book that yields such dynamic insight; it is the manner in which Hill illustrates his points. Hill's style of writing produces lasting command over the principles that exhibit the genuine value of the book. From a simple story regarding a young slave girl who did not know enough to be concerned with repercussions when demanding payment for her mother, or Henry Ford's persistence in the development of the V8 which at the time was considered impossible, the examples and underlying lessons among Hill's narratives offer resounding meaning and enduring effect. Hill has the venerable ability to articulate his ideas in a manner that effortlessly express his point while maintaining their resounding quality that will resonate with you for a lifetime.
Think and Grow Rich is not a book that should be read only once. The material is far too broad and the principles too profound for one to anticipate absorbing all the content in one reading. Much like the obligatory repetition for mastering a skill, it is vital to revisit Hill's work multiple times before even beginning to master the principles.
Hill spends a portion of this book on ideas that even after multiple reviews I am unable to fully comprehend. If a weakness exists, it is Hill's willingness to endeavor to expound the arcane elements of thought. While their may be merit in Hill's portrayal of the working of the inner mind, the requirement for such an evaluation is unnecessary and adds little value to the book. This line of though is tantamount to a driving instructor attempting to teach the particulars of how an engine works when his ability to teach driving is really at the core of his value. Hill clearly knows the intricacies of how to achieve in life, thus his attempts to explain the inner workings of the human mind serve little purpose, especially considering his research was not attained via any notable scientific study. Having defined its only perceived limitation, I want to emphasize that the main content of the book is so profound and well presented that even with its weaknesses, Think and Grow Rich will rate among the very best books on human achievement.
I highly recommend putting this book at the top of your list if you are looking to improve your life in any aspect. Hill is a master of self improvement and the principles presented are timeless.
This is a must March 31, 2008

This book is a must for anyone who is interested in making money. I cannot explain how much this book is worth. I believe this book doesn't have a fixed price. The price you are paying for this book is nothing compared to how much I would buy it for after reading it. This has helped me so much with business and I am happy that I have read this book. Hill is truly inspirational.
