This is a tough book to read because it's so direct. The major part of the book involves a conversation with the devil .... It felt like a James Bond novel where the bad guy explains the master plan ....Why would do the devil answer Napoleon Hill? I kept picturing Napoleon Hill with Wonder Woman's lasso of truth around the devil.




This book is exactly what I needed

I have let too many anonymous people from various internet forums turn me into a serious debbie downer. This book really fixed my mood and character. So grateful to come across this book. Really helped me out a lot to change my mood and habits.

I would recommend this book to anyone. It's a very quick read you can probably finish it in 3 days if you really wanted to. I took meticulous notes while reading this book. Summary of this book is the power of the mind and dominating thoughts become their physical equivalent. Try to be positive and not negative. You have negative thoughts regarding getting a job, getting good grades, wealth, etc thought thoughts will become reality if they dominate your mind. People pick up on body language and can tell when something is off. So, I really like this book and will probably reread when law school starts since it is short and easy to digest.

A very in depth book, which was written way ahead of its time. And the principles still apply today. It is absolute fact that our downfalls are often due to our mindset and letting fear get the best of us. Napoleon Hill created a goldmine with this book. Everyone should read this book and apply these principles in every aspect of their lives (work, school, family, relationships, etc.).

2.5*

Another one of these awesome books that you shouldn't read just once. It is to be read and reread. What a great book! So interesting that it was written in the late 1930's and was only recently published. The parallels are quite amazing. Regardless of the time the book was written or when it is read, the principles taught are timeless.
