“Think and Grow Rich” was the result of decades of work and hundreds of interviews with the most successful people at the time. Here are just a few of those people who changed the world forever not only through their work but also by making this book possible:
HENRY FORD JOHN D. ROCKEFELLER
THOMAS A. EDISON EDWIN C. BARNES
THEODORE ROOSEVELT WOODROW WILSON
CHARLES M. SCHWAB JOHN WANAMAKER
And the list goes on.
Say what you want, but you cannot deny the success and significance of these people. If you listen to tips on how to get bigger from some random big dude (who was born big and doesn’t know squat about how an ectomorph can gain muscle) at the gym, why would you be hesitant to listen to these people?
The book will show you just exactly how to get what you want in life (in the case of this book, money). It took me quite a while to completely digest just how important the ideas in this book are. Even now, I cannot say that I have fully appreciated the book. I seriously began to apply the ideas in this book when I made the conscious decision to gain muscle. Here are the 6 steps from the book that I follow rigidly and faithfully. These 6 simple steps alone account for much of my success in life thus far:
- Fix in your mind the exact amount of money you desire. It is not sufficient merely to say, “I want plenty of money.” Be definite as to the amount.
- Determine exactly what you intend to give in return for the money you desire.
- Establish a definite date when you intend to possess the money you desire.
- Create a definite plan for carrying out your desire, and begin at once, whether you are ready or not, to put this plan into action.
- Write out a clear, concise statement of the amount of money you intend to acquire, name the time limit for its acquisition, state what you intend to give in return for the money, and describe clearly the plan through which you intend to accumulate it.
- Read your written statement aloud, twice daily, once just before retiring at night and once after arising in the morning. AS YOU READ, SEE AND FEEL AND BELIEVE YOURSELF ALREADY IN POSSESSION OF THE MONEY.
These 6 steps are exactly as they were presented in the book. Follow these 6 steps alone (replacing money with muscle) and you will get the muscle you want. Remember all the other muscle-gaining books you have read? They all started with one or two chapters that made you follow these 6 steps. And not just bodybuilding books. Any books that promise to help you attain anything will start out with something like that.
Again, I am not implying that the ideas in this book are original. After all, this book got its core ideas from all the successful people that Napoleon Hill interviewed anyway. However, this is the BEST book on teaching you how to achieve whatever you want in life, no matter what it maybe.
That’s it. Buy the book and read it. You will keep it for life. All of the education I have got from school thus far in life cannot be put next to what I have learnt from this book. And it will be the same for you too.
RECAP: Think and Grow Rich shows you EXACTLY how to get ANYTHING you want in life. Classic book. No question about it.

So what now? Training or not training?
