Books on Money | Think And Grow Rich Ep. 2


Listen Later

I try to read the first chapter of Think And Grow Rich by Napoleon Hill. This chapter is titled, “The Power Of Thought” and talks about the importance of keeping the flame of desire lit.

The author recounts experiences from the life of Edwin Barnes, an associate of Thomas Edison and RU Darby, a legendary life insurance salesman. Each story emphasizes the importance of desire when pursuing something of value.

We learn about why most people quit when pursuing a difficult task through Barnes. Darby’s teaches us how we’re closer to success than we think and why persistence is important. Most importantly we learn how to, “keep on keeping on” which is something only the University of Life, as Darby puts it, can teach us.

Hill also gives us a taste of the next chapter. One which was recommended by a sitting US Congressman in the 1940s.

I hope you’ll stick with me as I read this book and its lessons will help your life.

Thank you for listening.

If I can improve in any way, please let me know. Also drop your recommendations in the comments!

Hope this helps.
