I have been a huge fan of Napoleon Hill for over 40 years. I was gifted with his book “Think and Grow Rich” in 1974 by a highly successful friend who swore this book was the reason for all he had obtained. It was one of the first self-help books I would read that teaches “If we change our thinking We can change our life.”

Napoleon Hill’s book “Think and Grow Rich” remains one of the best selling books of all time and is one of many must-read favorites for success.
