Think and Grow Rich has been called the “Granddaddy of All Motivational Literature. ” It was the first book to boldly ask, “What makes a winner? ”The man who asked and listened for the answer, Napoleon Hill, is nowcounted in the top ranks of the world’s winners himself. The most famousof all teachers of success spent “a fortune and the better part of alifetime of effort” to produce the “Law of Success” philosophy thatforms the basis of his books and that is so powerfully summarized in this one. In the original Think and Grow Rich, published in 1937, Hill draws onstories of Andrew Carnegie, Thomas Edison, Henry Ford, and othermillionaires of his generation to illustrate his principles. In theupdated version, Arthur R. Pell, Ph. D. , a nationally known author, lecturer, and consultant in human resources management and an expert inapplying Hill’s thought, deftly interweaves anecdotes of howcontemporary millionaires and billionaires, such as Bill Gates, Mary Kay Ash, Dave Thomas, and Sir John Templeton, achieved their wealth. Outmoded or arcane terminology and examples are faithfully refreshed to preclude any stumbling blocks to a new generation of readers.
