The book that most people today think of as "Think and Grow Rich!" (a small paperback) is actually not Dr. Hill’s full original work, but an abbreviated version that came out in 1960. As it turns out, Dr. Hill’s original version, in many respects, speaks more directly to people in the first decade of the 21st century than does the 1960 version! In my new edition, I have restored the material that was deleted in 1960, but at the same time have revised it, and fully annotated it, for today's reader -– thus the title, "Think and Grow Rich!: The Original Version, Restored and Revised." This new edition is a trade paperback, much easier to read, make notes in, and underline.
What to make of "Think and Grow Rich!"? Dr. Hill's book is a publishing phenomenon. Year after year, people continue to "discover" it -- tucked away inconspicuously on a bookstore or library shelf or passed along from a family member, friend, or associate -- and they have read it, loved it, and used it to turn their lives around and their powers of creativity and imagination loose.
The first copy of "Think and Grow Rich!" was sold in 1937. Eleven years later, in February 1948, "Coronet" magazine polled 300 successful young men and women, asking, "What book or books most influenced your life and contributed to your success?" "Think and Grow Rich!" was ranked fourth on the list. In September 1986 -- 38 years and eight U. S. Presidents later -- "USA Today" published a list of the "10 top-selling paperback books about investments" in America for that month. Despite the fact that it is only in the most general sense an investment book, being primarily about investing in yourself and others, "Think and Grow Rich!" ranked No. 1 on the list. (Some books it beat? "How to Buy Stocks," "The Only Investment Guide You'll Ever Need," and "Getting Yours.")
Some years ago the U. S. Library of Congress conducted a survey asking what books most influenced readers’ lives. The top answer, by a wide margin, was The Bible. In second and third place were, respectively, "Atlas Shrugged" by Ayn Rand and "Think and Grow Rich!" by Napoleon Hill. In 2002, "BusinessWeek" magazine published "The BusinessWeek Best-Seller List." in its October 14 edition Almost incredibly, "Think and Grow Rich!" ranked tenth on the list of the current 15 top-selling paperback business books -- 65 years after the first copy of the book was purchased!
Walk into any well-stocked bookstore in America and many other countries and you will find a few paperback copies of "Think and Grow Rich!" (usually the 1960 version in one of its manifestations) in the business or self-motivation sections. "Think and Grow Rich!" endures because it works.
Are you too busy working to spare any time for thinking?… then you're too busy earning a living to make any money… until now!
Because the curious thing is, people who 'really' make money – lots and lots of it – don't work hard. Once they've set the ball rolling wealth simply accumulates upon wealth.
The secret lies in moving that ball.
It's a secret Napoleon Hill discovered when he interviewed 504 of America's richest men – and it's a secret so simple anyone, but anyone, can use it to become fabulously wealthy.
The secret is here, in the pages of this very book. Reprinted an amazing 42 times since its original publication and sold out totally each time, it details the precise steps 'you' can take to put yourself on easy-street including:
• Great dreams turn into great riches
• Desire performs the impossible
• Twenty eight very personal but revealing questions
• The magic of 'Money Consciousness'
• You can use more brains than your own
• There's no such thing as bad luck
• Fear is only a state of mind
These thing together with the 'Secret' formula provide a tried and tested plan that makes men rich. It will make YOU rich too!
