Books on Money | Think And Grow Rich Ep. 5


Listen Later

I try to read the fourth chapter of Think And Grow Rich by Napoleon Hill. This chapter is titled, “Auto-suggestion: The medium of influencing the subconscious.” It’s a short chapter on how we can use desires to influence our mind.

Auto-suggestion is a way we can remind ourselves of our desires. Then we can navigate our actions to achieve this desire.

This chapter, in Hill’s words, is the most important chapter of the book. It relates to the six rules we learnt in the first chapter on Desire. Although there are no stores from the stalwarts Hill worked with, there’s plenty of actionable advice.

From setting a definitive goal, to priming our concentration, using positive imagery, acting fast, putting failure on ourselves and having a clear vision. There’s so much in this chapter that I’m going to keep coming back to it.

Read this in parallel with the six steps on Desire in the first chapter:

  1. Fix your mind to your desire
  2. Determine your sacrifice
  3. Set a timeline
  4. Create a plan
  5. Pen a statement
  6. Repeat your statement
  7. Hope this helps.
