Think and Grow Rich: The Landmark Bestseller--Now Revised and Updated for the 21st Century

This is a classic (pun intended) example of what's happening with books that many of us read in the `60's and `70's. The books were written in the `20's, `30's, and even earlier. The Secret, which was no secret, was based on these authors' books. I ordered two of Dr. Joseph Murphy's books to replace ones I had given away only to find out they had been "revised." I was so disgusted I gave them away. Genevieve Behrend's books have been taken over by Joe Vitale. His name even appears first on the covers. The description for one of them starts out with, "Fiery Texas author breathes life into dead woman." If you really want to know what Napoleon Hill had to say, get the original version. The book stands on its own merit without any "help" from people who have no new ideas of their own and are just seeking to make money from someone else's work.

This book is exactly what the title says. Your life becomes what you want and think it will. This is another of my core principle books that I have based my entrepreneurial life.

I just wanted to warn you that after buying this particular copy published by Tarcher I found it to be very cheaply made and very hard to read because it has tiny print. I have since purchased a different copy by BN Publishing which is great.

The book that I received has pages with different lengths. So, it doesn't look like a brand new book.

While the book's concept intrigued me, it also lost me when Hill started talking about the "ether fields" and telepathy. No amount of "magical thinking" can make someone rich--the best sections of the book are the ones that talk about setting and meeting goals. Even when Hill wrote the book in 1937, pseudo-science such as telepathy had already been debunked. The 21st century updates add new stories but fail to address Hill's unscientific notions of "ether fields."
