Think and Grow Rich was written by a fellow called Napoleon Hill in the 1930’s.  At first I was quite skeptical about reading an older book on finances as so much has changed in the last 70 years.  However I was able to take quite a bit away from this book and in many ways it re-enforced some of what I had learned through reading Rich Dad Poor Dad.

This book focuses on re-training the mind.  I found that much of the content, despite its age, matches up with what contemporary authors, philosophers and psychologists say.

The main statement of the book is that it is possible to get rich if you really apply your mind to it.  Your brain has the capability of coming up with ways of generating income.  By stimulating your mind you give permission to your brain to begin a creative process that can lead you to riches.

There are several exercises in the book that teach you how to stimulate your creative processes.  I can vouch for these and prove they work given that I am now generating more income than I was prior to reading this book!

Great news about Think and Grow Rich!

As the book is now in the Public Domain (i.e. no longer in copyright), I can distribute it right here on this site.  Click here, or on the picture of the book above, to go straight to chapter 1!  Each week I will add another chapter and I hope to produce a pdf for offline reading in the coming weeks.
