Think and Grow Rich: The Landmark Bestseller Now Revised and Updated for the 21st Century (Think and Grow Rich Series)

First a couple of disclaimers. I own both the written book and the audible version. The audible read by some guy named Joe is borderline nonsensical because of the poor reading skills of the performer. He really did not do this book any justice. Fortunately, I own the actual paper book which I had already read a few years ago and I knew how to determine when a sentence started and another ended, because it would have been nearly impossible to figure it out by how it's read. So, Joe: please get a new career. This book, alongside others based on the law of attraction, have changed my life in ways that may be hard to believe for the vast majority of humanity. I lost over 60 pounds in the span of 6 months, I got off all anxiety medication, I doubled my income and, now that I'm on the brink of another major breakthrough, I'm reading it again. Second disclaimer, if you're the type of person who is unwilling to change your whole perspective on reality, don't waste your time. This book is not for the faint of heart and the people who like being controlled by the system (religious, political, financial, you name it). Just as Napoleon Hill states, you must a) do exactly what the book instructs, b) be consumed by desire, c) have unquestionable, unshakeable, and unbreakable faith. Unless you do, you will be wasting your time and continue living a mediocre life where you're the victim and everyone is trying to take advantage of you (read some of the 1 star reviews and make your own considerations). I believe that's the reason why the wealthiest and most abundant people are only 1% of the population, the believers, and the rest of the 99% sits and complaints about the 1%, all the while unwilling to do anything different.

Think and Grow Rich is a game-changing book. It helped me shift my mindset and understand the power of focused thoughts and determination. The principles are timeless, and I’ve started seeing positive changes in my life by applying them. It’s not just about money. It’s about creating the mindset for success in any area of life. A truly inspiring read!

Let me first start not writing about the book, but my own story.I am a freshly graduated civil engineer, 23 years old, with exceptional academic skills. For a long time, of about 5 or so years I havent felt any sort of passion at all. I achieve well in university? People achieve much less and jump out of joy but I feel... Nothing. I graduate with an exceptional gpa. My parents are proud but me? I feel nothing.I went through rough things in life that have sucked the passion out of me. In addition, I was unemployed since my few months ago graduation. With so much time on my hand, my brain starts up the routine negative thinking. I look for employment but I dont put any passion into it. I try to lose weight but I feel 0 motivation or passion about it. Of course, this leads me to the point of not caring.One day, on thursday to be exact I was going to the movies with my little brother. On the way I thought I'd stop by the book store. While looking I found Napoleons book. I read about it before but I never felt the need to buy it. Curious, I read the preface. My only thoughts at the time was "This author is making ridiculous claims. I mean get rich based on a handful of tips? Duh". The book was ridiculously priced because I live far from the US. It cost about $20. Amazon kindle on the other hand was only $1 so I thought what the heck whats $1. Let me see what this books all about. Coming from someone who read a couple of motivational books before, I did not have much hopes but I thought I owe it to myself to attempt a serious read before judging an author who sold millions of copies and so I did that. Boy was I in for a surprise.While reading the preface and the introductionary chapter, I started to feel this book is the real deal. My goal was not to get rich, it was to take care of my health. Thats the most important thing to me right now, followed by getting employed. By the end of the 1st chapter about desire, I felt something had changed in me. You see, napoleons book is about getting rich, but it is so much more than that. I felt the passion I had lost had finally come back to me. I developed a burning desire to lose my weight and get employed. By the end of that day, I promised myself I would not just apply to a job tomorrow, I will land an interview with that company.Following my immense desire, I felt unnatural confidence creep to me. As if the world cant stop me getting this job interview. I went to a company and I boldely asked to meet a senior engineer of theirs thaf I met once for a university project. "He is on lunch break" said the receptionist and I calmly replied "I will wait". 10 minutes later he is back into the office and I say to him: "Mr Mohamed, I would like to talk to you for a few minutes in private". He takes me to the conference room. I opened with "I remember one thing you told me a year ago about integrity". Long story short, we talked for 50 minutes. At the end he asked me what my career plans are and I told him "I would like to work for you and learn from you". He offered me his own personal recommendation for the job.Going back home I felt like jumping out of my seat with joy. I was ridiculously happy and yelling like a mad man. It was not because I was getting a recommendation from a guy who does not even know me, but more about the fact that I satisfied the burning desire I developed from reading the first chapter of the book. I finally felt passionate about something again.End of the story? Nope. A day after that meeting (2 days since reading the first chapter), I got a phone call at 9 am. The general manager of that company wants to meet me at 10:30 am. I went to that meeting today and although I do not know the outcome, I feel that the same approach will solve whatever problem I face and I will get whatever I want. The mind knows what to do most of the time it just needs the hunger and drive to do it.Although Napoleon passed away a long time ago, I only wish he could have renamed his book to "Think and Grow in whatever the hell you want". From the bottom of my heart, thank you.
