I just finished "reading" Think and Grow Rich by Napoleon Hill. I was engaged by the initial concepts around thoughts, desire, faith but as the book progressed he lost me in the organized planning section of blessings and opportunities for all when he did not recognize the influence of systemic racism and gender inequality. He completely lost me in the sex transmutation and by then I was just skimming the high level topics. Has anyone else read it? What were your thoughts? Did I miss anything in the last half of the book? It was clearly dated to the time he wrote it and denied all acknowledgement of the equality of women.

I absolutely love this book! SO much information and knowledge, truly incredible. Should be reading this over and over and over again. 

Not everything in this classic book by Napoleon Hill holds up to the standards of current insights in human behavior and psychology, but there are quite a few timeless ideas here to implement.

Knowing that you can change the way you think and act yourself, and that having a clear purpose in life and going the extra mile to pursue it can help you accomplish way more than when you resign to a victim mindset without defining what you want to get out of this life.

Magic beans!

I feel like the title of this book is misleading because it's more than just about making money. The piece that surprised me the most is the overwhelming emphasis on psychology in the book. Napolean Hill puts a list of practices that you should put in your daily life in order to attain your goals. I did some background research on him and I've a few comments on how his interactions with some characters in the book have been embellished or completely untrue, so not sure what to make of the credibility. However, the guiding message is to have a positive view in your head, repeat your goals often in your mind, and you will succeed. I've definitely oversimplified his message, but that's what I took away. Repeat my goals in my subconscious and they will appear in the conscious mind.
