There is some good advice but the book is all over the place.
Eeeeep. This book is at best outdated and at worst low-key (okay, high-key) offensive.
If you do not deeply understand the law of attraction or how to use it for wealth creation, this book is worth the read.

I’ve had this book on my TRB list for many years as it’s a MUST on many book list. Like it’s title the book gives principles that if one willing to embrace can aid in the reader becoming successful and “being rich.”
This book was an easy read but difficult to complete. The author writes the story in basic terms but I still found my self picking up and setting the book back down several times. In fact I even had to listen to the read via audible just to finally be able to finish.
I thought the principles are valuable and I understand that it was written very early (I believe in the 1930s) but I wished the author could have used more examples that I could have related to in the present time (such as with Dale Carnegie’s How To Win Friends And Influence People) . I also believe the author could have expressed the same content in terms of the principles in less pages. While reading it, I found myself adopting the principles early but feeling as thought the key points were being over-examined. To the point where I had to take a break from reading at times. Perhaps that may have added to be struggling to finish this book.
Already it was a struggle for me to complete this read I do plan to read again in the future & hope to have a different opinion. I would recommend others to read as it provides some great principles to elevating oneself. I’m also looking forward to reading Think and Grow Rich: A Black Choice.

Solid 3.5. A lot of the advice feels antiquated being published in the 1930’s but that’s also part of what makes it interesting.
This book is outdated and honestly a capitalist manifesto. It has been lauded by the finance world and I honestly do not get the hype. Unrelateable anecdotes and general advice that aren't insightful. I could have given this book a miss.
I’m DNFing this book because I just can’t stand another second of it. It is the most pretentious straight white male bullshit that fails to consider any other perspective. The epitome of the saying “born on third base and go through life thinking they hit a triple.” I only stuck it out for this long because my boss gave it to me but my boss left so I have no obligation to finish this anymore. Gooooood riddance!
