Think and Grow Rich review

Think and Grow Rich is one of the most selling self help book ever published. The author Napoleon Hill did enough hardwork and toiled 25 years in reasearch, writing and publishing this book. This book is a must goto book for anyone who wants to know how to make fortune at a beginner level. It is an incredible book in its genre. It is although a bit old fashioned since it was published way back in 1937, so anyone may feel that its technique are old and not useful in today's world but this book has some certain techniques which time can't fade away. This book is still relevant because financial things have become even more complicated today than it was back then.

The style of writing is worth applauding and the flow of information and guidance is smooth. This book describes Hill's famous 13  principles to success and he has dedicated a chapter to each success principle. This book was a huge success for Hill as at the time of author's death , about 20 million copies had already been sold worldwide. Some of the most inspiring lines from it were "riches begin with a state of mind, with definiteness of purpose,with little or no hard work",
 " We foolishly believe that our own limitations are the proper measure of limitations"
" Success requires no explanations , failure permits no alibis"

Many successful leaders and personalities have claimed to have read this book and applied it's principles in one's life. For example, Sportswriter Jim Murray said Ken Norton used the principles of this book to knock out Muhammed Ali for the World Heavyweight Boxing Championship. This is the reason why its millions of copies are sold and it has been bestseller for over 100 years.
