Funny, it looks so harmless.

This paperback, barely more than 200 pages long, wouldn't stand out in any bookshelf, and those who see its title might think it's some hackeneyed get-rich-quick scheme.

In reality, "Think and Grow...

Pros: Masterfully created work that will inspire the foundation of your existence to demand more.
Cons: Book can be long reading, but the CD version is great.

When I purchased the CD Versions, I ended up listening to this book about 20 times versus one in the paperback version, so I highly recommend you invest in the CD version. The more I listen to this book, the more I get out of it. One of the few things this book does is talk about money. When you read or listen to this book, apply the mindset and write down your 5 years goals - and think big. I've already started crossing off some of the things on my list because of what I got out of this book. This book articulates what it takes to be a success in all areas of y our life. But until you think about your goals and write them down (literally on paper), your life may be nothing more than a pipe dream. Take the next step and get this book, and you will never look back at a single day being boring and useless.

Pros: Well written, inspirational
Cons: A bit long, he could cut to the point

Use your mind to become rich, never give up, be creative and inventive. This is what Napoleon Hill concluded from his extensive study on how people got rich. They never gave up. Thomas Edison for example, when testing his light bulb, had to do 10,000 experiments. When asked why he persisted he simply said, "I tried so many times, how many more times could I fail?" You might note though he is not the inventor of the light bulb. He is the inventor of the "modern" light bulb.
