About this listen

Think and Grow Rich is a motivational personal development and self-help book written by Napoleon Hill and inspired by a suggestion from Scottish-American businessman Andrew Carnegie. While the title implies that this book deals only with how to achieve monetary wealth, the author explains that the philosophy taught in the book can be used to help individuals do or be almost anything they want. For instance, Jim Murray (a sportswriter) wrote that Think and Grow Rich was credited for Ken Norton's boxing upset of Muhammad Ali in 1973.

The book was first published in 1937 during the Great Depression. At the time of Hill's death in 1970, Think and Grow Rich had sold 20 million copies. It remains the biggest seller of Napoleon Hill's books - a perennial best-seller after 70 years (BusinessWeek's best-seller list ranked Think and Grow Rich as the sixth best-selling paperback business book 70 years after it was first published). Think and Grow Rich is listed in John C. Maxwell's A Lifetime Must Read Books List.

Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?

YES! I like to listen to audiobooks whilst travelling.

Fabulous book ruined by a really dull narrator!

The negative reviews regarding the narration of this book are, I believe, quite fair, but it is more bearable when listening at 1.25 speed or quicker. My main bug-bears are the poor use of inflections and unnecessary mid-sentence pauses.

As for the book itself, I think there's a lot of truths to glean out of it. But also some wishy-washy theories and some principles, which may not take you on the best journey, though they arrive at the right destination. It is not my favourite sales book; very American, arguably misogynistic in places (cause Vs correlation) and some outdated points (e.g. the cost of living). But there are many great points and helpful examples of the power of thought and determination in relation to business success.

Listen at 1.25 speed or higher

Simply the best book ever written that every entrepreneur should read.

My advice would be to read, or listen to it, regularly
