This is Chapter 12 of the Think and Grow Rich classic written by Napoleon Hill and narrated by Mike Aikins for the Relevance Podcast. In this chapter, Hill carefully illustrates the importance of occupying the mind with positive reinforcement, as opposed to negative input that could drastically reduce your production.
The seven major positive emotions are Desire, Faith, Love, Sex, Enthusiasm, Romance, and Hope.
The seven major negative emotions are Fear, Jealousy, Hatred, Revenge, Greed, Superstition, and Anger.
One valuable thing to remember about this chapter is when Hill points out that both positive and negative emotions cannot occupy the mind at the same time. One or the other must dominate so it's your responsibility as you attempt to think and grow rich to make sure that positive emotions constitute the dominating influence of your mind.
