Think And Grow Rich Review – Napoleon Hill’s Classic
Last modified on 2010-07-13 19:35:57 GMT. 5 comments. Top.
A Think and Grow Rich review. I thought it was about time to do one, because I’ve been reading this classic by Napoleon Hill for years and years now… it’s just THAT good. So, let’s get to it!
The Effect
I remember when I first read it. I was having a tough time dealing with all the stuff happening around me (see the first paragraphs of my Biography), but this book literally helped me survive it all.
Why?
No one describes the power of persistence (and what happens if you DON’T use it and quit after some obstacles) better than Napoleon Hill did. There is SO much inspirational and insightful stuff inside that you can only read one chapter a day or your head will explode.
I read it 5 years ago and whenever I need some serious inspiration? I read it again. Hell, I’ve read it 10 times so far and there isn’t another book on the planet that got me to read it that many times. Needless to say, insanely powerful stuff.
Wanna know something funny?
Napoleon Hill originally wrote to book for anyone that wants to get riches, but when I started reading it? I had major problems with women, so I saw it NOT as think and grow riches but think and get b*tches, lol!
The amazing thing was: it worked. Then I tried to get more out of my boring callcenter job at T-Mobile. It worked. Then I applied it to giving dating advice. It worked.
It gives you a way to create and follow-up goals for yourself like no other book can and I think that’s where it’s power comes from.
The Good
+ Part of the genius of Think and Grow Rich is that Napoleon Hill talks a lot about the power of imagination in his book: anything the mind can conceive, it can believe and achieve. And guess what? He described 13 steps to success, but NEVER gives you the complete formula. He leaves that up to your imagination. Do you see the irony in that? He practiced what he preached!
+ Subtle but scary powerful: his idea of the mastermind group. Surround yourself with successful people, socialize with them, exchange ideas with them, and you will become more successful yourself. I did that by befriending guys and girls who were good at creating attraction when I wanted to master dating, and now I’m doing it with marketing experts. It works and works really well.
+ Part of the fun of Think and Grow Rich is discovering what amazing stories Napoleon Hill has to share next, so I don’t want to spoil the surprise and reveal more than I already have here. Just one more hint: it took Napoleon 25 years to complete his book, there might be a lesson about persistence and imagination there…
The Bad
- It’s easy to underestimate this book. You see, it comes across as a guide to getting rich or becoming successful, but it’s so much more. The only problem is: he should have put that in the book! He should have said “become successful with ANYTHING with this book”, because now? Some people may be missing the opportunity of a lifetime = reading this book. I’m not kidding.
Conclusion
I’ve read a LOT of self help stuff. I’m talking Psychology of Achievement, 7 Habits of Successful People, How To Win Friends and Influence People and more. But none of them come close to the magic of Think and Grow Rich.
Don’t get me wrong, I highly recommend you check them all out, but you should definitely start with Think and Grow Rich and start with it TODAY. It’s just so damn inspiring, empowering, and insightful. You shouldn’t miss it.
Sure, the book was originally written for guys (and girls) who want to get rich and/or achieve success, but after reading this Think and Grow Rich review? I think you’ll agree with me when I say:
The insights in Napoleon Hill’s classic are universal and you HAVE to read this stuff. I’m not saying that because I know the guy (he’s dead) or because he pays me to say it (his book can be downloaded for free).
If you want to know more, then check out his Napoleon Hill Foundation. And if you want to get your hands on a copy? Leave a comment or find me on Twitter or Facebook and I’ll be happy to help 
Got some questions for you. Feel free to answer these in a comment:
1) Have you read Napoleon Hill’s Think and Grow Rich? If so, what effect did it have on you?
2) What have you achieved so far thanks to self help books, seminars, and events? Any major changes in your life?
The end of my Think and Grow Rich review is drawing near and my movie addiction is screaming for attention, so you’ll have to excuse me but I’m off to watch Bad Boys 2 for the… fourth time now? Yeah I think I’m at watch number 4.
Later!

Brian Tracy’s Psychology Of Achievement Review
Last modified on 2010-08-25 21:32:27 GMT. 1 comment. Top.
Hey it’s Dennis Miedema from Win With Women here and it’s my honor to do a Brian Tracy Psychology of Achievement review today! In case you lived in a cave for the last 20 years: Psychology of Achievement is one of self help guru Brian Tracy’s best selling books.
In my opinion “spectacular and life changing program for any man in need of improvement” is a much better title, but book is a little shorter and easier to use, wouldn’t you agree? Anyways, what’s making me do this psychology of achievement review?
Here’s the juicy secret: it will PERMANENTLY change the way you think about rejection, failure, success, your potential, negative emotions and a whole lot more.
But I’m getting ahead of myself here…
Here’s how I approach doing reviews: the impact it had on me personally, compliments, and disappointments. That means I talk about both the good and the bad. So, let’s get to it!
The Impact Of Brian Tracy’s Psychology Of Achievement
I’m a down to earth, practical dude… so I’m not feeling hippie weirdos, flower power, overly spiritual nonsense and people that are kinda “out there”. As a result, I’m skeptical about self help cliches such as “just believe in yourself” and that kind of crap.
But to be honest? The book made me feel like my life was a slice of heaven for an entire week. I’m not kidding: nothing could ruin my mood, everyone was my friend, no negative emotions at all because it was just so damn inspiring, empowering. It changed my perspective on things.
I’ve used and am still using a lot of the insights Brian Tracy shares inside to teach my students about the fear of rejection and failure and why they’re “just” negative prohibitive behavior patterns as Tracy calls them that can be unprogrammed with some effort.
I highly recommend you read this one.
Compliments For Brian Tracy’s Psychology
- The psychology of achievement really drives the point home that you are your own worst enemy, that all kinds of self-defeating behaviors stand between you and getting the results you want (and what to do about it)
- Next to techniques that are a bit “out there” for me like visualization and affirmation, Brian Tracy shows you a nine step, systematic problem/setback/failure solving method that takes the sting out of bad situations and let’s you see problems as opportunities
- After discussing the negative emotions and fears that make you defeat yourself, the book details how to program yourself for success using scientifical methods taken from sports, marketing and more instead of throwing the standard hippie stuff like “believe in yourself” at you. This psychology of achievement review likes that!
- Have you ever had one of those days where you fell asleep way too late while you had to get up early in the morning, you set your alarm clock to get up… and when it goes off… it feels like a B*TCHSLAP in the face? Well, this book is just that… but in a good way.
Nothing let’s you take a better, closer look at yourself and how you can improve yourself than this book. You’ll bust yourself for thinking about what you learned from it WEEKS after reading it.
Disappointments…
- I don’t like visualization and affirmation and although they may be tried and tested methods, for most guys that’s spacey hippie stuff. They, and me too, need more convincing: more examples and/or proof please! Otherwise it will always remain just that: spacey hippie stuff.
- Towards the end, Brian Tracy talks about superior human relations and part of that discusses relationships and marriages. Although it’s a brave effort to analyze them from a scientifical point of view, he forgot one thing: emotion. And oh yeah… attraction is based on it and keeps relationships alive. So I have to give one major thumb down for that one.
- Although the short exercises (well, they’re more like questions) will go a long way in helping you change your life? I miss some examples. How would HE answer them? Show us some technique applied in real life. In short: it could be a little more practical
Conclusion About Brian Tracy’s Psychology Of Achievement
Although there are some minor flaws inside, the other 90% of the contents in this book will BLOW YOU AWAY. Especially if you do the short exercises that are inside and try to apply as much of the insights as possible to your own life.
Thinking back to when I read the Psychology of Achievement back in 2008 alone motivates me and makes me rise up to the ocassion of reaching my full potential, of wanting to do good in the world.
If remembering that you read a book can do that, then it must be a pretty damn good book. Period.
You should read this one…
I was so inspired by this book that I decided to get in touch with Brian Tracy to see if I can help my fans and customers (that includes YOU) as much as he has helped me… and I’ve got a surprise for you!
This Is The Surprise…
I (with a little help of Brian) want to GIVE YOU 1 of his 21 self help CDs filled with life changing insights and techniques for FREE!
All you´ll have to pay for is what it costs to ship the CD to your home address… and that´s it.
Although most of the 21 CDs are business-related, there ARE some real good ones about improving your life as well: 21 great ways to get the job you really want, 21 great ways to live to be a 100, 21 great ways to meet and marry the woman of your dreams, and more…
Simply click on the link below to see two pages containing the CDs, pick a CD, only pay for shipping and handling (which costs only a couple bucks these days), and start getting more results with women AND in other areas of life.
Get Your Self Help CD For Free!
And hey… please DON’T share this offer with anyone else okay? I just wanted to do something special for my blog readers, fans, and customers… so random guy A that’s the best friend of your friend’s friend is NOT who this offer is for.
Keep it kinda secret… or Brian will probably kick my but for giving too much of his stuff away for free.
So far for my psychology of achievement review! Now, as I’m gone to feed on the nearest Pringles can I can find being the Pringles junkie that I am… I’d like to ask you some questions…
1) What did you think of this review?
2) What do you think about Brian Tracy? And what about The Psychology Of Achievement?
