Ep 35: Think and Grow Rich by Napoleon Hill: Lessons + Takeaways


Listen Later

Think and Grow Rich by Napoleon Hill is considered by many to be one of the most influential business and personal development books ever written. Being the self-development junkie I am, I of course got myself a copy!

The first time I read it, however, I didn't really get much from it. It was a few years ago and while I made my way through the book I did so without really engaging with it. While I felt inspired at some level, I didn't put any of Napoleon Hill's advice into practice, I quickly forgot everything I'd learned and was left believing that perhaps this book had been overhyped.

But a couple of months ago, I saw this book on my shelf when I was packing for a holiday and decided to take it with me. Mainly because I'd been learning a lot about the law of attraction and this book comes up a lot in that context too.

Long story short, it felt like I was reading a completely different book to the one I was the first time (even though it was the exact same copy) and took so many lessons away from it - many of which I've put into practice.

This book is challenging to summarise, as the magic of this book can really only by discovered by reading it cover-to-cover. So instead, I'm sharing the biggest lessons I learned from this book and how I've been applying them to my life. I hope you enjoy it!
