From Library Journal
Hill's Think and Grow Rich! (1937) is one of the best-selling inspirational business books of all time and remains influential to this day. The foundation that bears his name has taken Hill's thinking and philosophy, updated it with contemporary examples, and published it under this title. Dale Carnegie-esque and user-friendly, this work contains practical advice for success. If some of these ideas seem familiar, it is because later writers have latched onto them and presented them in more abstract terms; but the advice remains solid. Of particular interest is the section on the major causes of personal failure. No one could go wrong trying to follow Hill's commonsense exhortations and principles. Good public library fare, especially where Hill's other works are in demand.January Adams, ODSI Research Lib., Raritan, N.J.Copyright 1994 Reed Business Information, Inc.

The author's 1937 book THINK ANF GROW RICH says that financial results follow thought and gives us classic strategies for getting ahead in life. The late Hill was a pioneer of modern success thinking, and almost every achievement expert today refers to his ideas in one way or the other. On this audio, his foundation has expanded his original 17 success principles to include up-to-date advice and modern-day success models. Establish a major, definite purpose, he says, and then harness the interrelationships of your habits, your enthusiasm, your discipline, your connections with others, and the gift of your own personality. It's timeless advice and may be the best six hours on this subject you'll ever hear. T.W. © AudioFile 2001, Portland, Maine-- Copyright © AudioFile, Portland, Maine
