Publisher's Summary

The Napoleon Hill Foundation received many requests from people wanting the original, unedited, 1937 copy of Think and Grow Rich. To satisfy those customers, the Foundation reproduced Napoleon Hill’s personal copy of the first edition, printed in March of 1937. The book has the notation, “not to be loaned”, and signed: Annie Lou Hill (the wife of Dr. Hill). This personal copy of Dr. Hill’s was given to me by Dr. Charles W. Johnson, Chairman of the Napoleon Hill Foundation and a nephew of Napoleon Hill. It was Napoleon Hill who sent Dr. Johnson to medical school, and today he is a practicing cardiologist. Charlie refers to Napoleon Hill as “Uncle Nap” and will often make the statement, "Uncle Nap would be proud of the Foundation today." The original 1937 manuscript was written and edited with the assistance of Napoleon’s wife. In later years, the existing document was again edited by Dr. Hill. For example, the Foundation owns a 1958 edition that Hill edited personally. This did not lessen the book’s value in Hill’s judgment. Hill made the editing remarks in his own handwriting and the resulting 1960 edited edition has sold over 100 million copies making it the most read self-help book of all time.

Think and Grow Rich sells more copies today than before Dr. Hill died in 1970. Now, a new and authoritative recording of this original, unedited, one-of-a-kind work, authorized by the Napoleon Hill Foundation is available. By purchasing this audio edition, you will be supporting the nonprofit Napoleon Hill Foundation. The entire philosophy of Napoleon Hill is based on the Golden Rule. The Foundation deeply appreciates the support of those of you who only purchase Napoleon Hill authorized books. You can identify these materials by the Foundation Logo and by looking inside for Napoleon Hill copyright.

A timeless product of its time

When I first read this book I couldn’t get past the ‘woo’. Coming back with a little more age and wisdom I can see that there are more than a few nuggets of truth in everything Hill says, even though I need to adjust my lens to metaphor. The reader must also put themself in the place of a man or woman of the 1930s and translate without judgment the situations presented as they are into the situations we face now, almost a century in the future, to extract full value from his words.

It’s a good book with a lot of truth, and a lot of actionable ideas. Question the woo but trust the process and give it a go.

Good Advice - Science is a little outdated

Good advice and it movtiates you to get goals completed and look for success. However you can REALLY tell this was written in the 1930s with its imagination of how science works, but I will note that while the science mechanics are incorrect the advice is still valid. Of course there isn't ACTUAL telepathic thoughts, but your emotions around other people do affect them and how they treat you through subconscious triggers we notice. There is a lot of anecdotal evidence but from the other psychological books I've read these appear to be valid in the most part - so once again, the advice in this book is valid. It's a little funny how a man during the 1930s would completely ignore the social and environmental barriers some people face such as women, queer people, and people of colour and puts it down to 'excuses' but once again while we face barriers, the major ones are what we construct ourselves and he concentrates on eliminating these. I like the weird sex transmutation chapter and it's completely hetronormative storyline of evolution which bases his theory on how everyone man is successful because he wants to please a lady - but there is some nuggets of good advice even in this bizarre chapter.

In a nutshell: Crazy book but informative and a time capsule of 1930 American Dream. Worth a read when complimented with modern psychology and good habit forming books.

his voice was deep

I liked the sound of his voice, though he was a bit slow and I listened to it at 1.3x to fix it.
