Book Review: Think and Grow Rich by Napoleon Hill

When I picked up Think and Grow Rich by Napoleon Hill, I expected a dry, 1930s-style lecture on success. But, to my surprise, Hill took me on a hilariously motivational ride.

The big reveal? The "secret" to wealth isn't a hidden treasure—it's simply the power of desire. Yes, desire! I thought it was going to be some magical formula, but no, it’s all about mindset. Visualizing success and pursuing it with burning determination is the key. Simple, but powerful.

Hill also dives into practical advice like organized planning, setting clear goals, and building a mastermind group—basically, the dream team for world domination. He even encourages you to tell yourself daily, “I am rich and successful.” If only it were that easy, right?

But it’s not all rainbows and yachts (although Hill definitely hints at that). Persistence is key, along with faith in your vision. Success isn’t just about working hard—luck plays a role too, though Hill doesn’t say that explicitly.

Would I recommend this book? Absolutely. It's not just about getting rich, but about developing a mindset of success in all areas of life. Plus, it’ll give you a good laugh and some old-school wisdom along the way.
