Think and Grow Rich

The positive reviews are right-on... This is a must-read book for those interested in how life works. You'll learn about how people work, and keys to a better life.My only minor-complaint is that some of the scientific data is out-of-date, such as the suggested "scientifically supported" existence of Telepathy, and Ether, which have since both been proven to not exist. But if you can look past those errors, this is an amazing book.

The book has some good content.There is useful information. I can recommend listening to it for some of its ideas and perhaps for some inspiration.That is,as long as you maintain a healthy level ofskepticism. Some of the things said in the book do not seem very credible. The book gave me a con man vibe.The author boasts too much.Moreover,there are articles on line that indicate that many of his claims are simply not factual. Other things "just" require a stretch in interpretation in order to fit with the philosophy.Meanwhile, the book seems to imply that one must not doubt the message of the book in order for the philosophy to work (con man vibe again).I found that distasteful and repellent. The division of the audible content is not broken out by chapter.This annoying when one wants to find and hear a specific chapter.Sometimes also when reviewing lists, the presentation was a little hard to follow.Otherwise the performance was fine.

By far the most useful book I've read. I can see now, this is the core of what all those billionaires are talking about when the talk about the road to success. If you want more out of life, this is prerequisite,must read!

I’ve heard this book referenced so many times in a business context and, given the title, I assumed it was a groundbreaking early 20th century treatise on mindset. Nope!! In these pages, learn how to “tune your brain waves” to a “high frequency” so you might communicate with “Infinite Intelligence” that lives in “the ether”. Apparently, if you think at the right “frequency” you’ll just naturally exchange great ideas with other geniuses around you through telepathy. That is NOT an exaggeration. Honestly, it seems like he took some good and helpful underlying psychological principals about positive mindset, cooperation and determination, and explained them with some of the most backwards and crazy pseudo-science I’ve ever heard. I could barely bring myself to finish the book. Would not recommend.

Everyone has been lying to you about this book, because none of them actually understand what he's talking about. Want to know the secret? It's complete malarkey. It's nonsense. It's a salesman with no product, Just like Oliver "Napoleon" Hill was his entire life. Research Oliver Hill, and save yourself the embarrassment of believing the hype, only to eventually realize you'd been had. I can't believe this piece of hollow garbage has survived this long. The basic gist of the book, if it has any at all, is in the title: "thinking makes you grow to be rich." And no, it's not true, unless thinking also makes you lose weight, make friends, go on vacation, win the Nobel prize, and conquer the Byzantine empire. The only thing that's going to grow if you sit around thinking, is your inflated ego, your inflated rear end, and the inflated pocketbooks of the publishers and Oliver Hill's grandchildren.

Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?Yes! It's at the pinnacle of teaching someone how to attain success.What was one of the most memorable moments of Think and Grow Rich?Having a burning desire for what you want and transmuting that desire into it's monetary equivalent through persistance.Which character – as performed by Erik Synnestvedt – was your favorite?His son born without hearing capacity (physical equipment to support hearing) but through desire he learned to hear through bond conduction of sound.Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?It was an epiphany!I'm 50 years old now and I'm just acquiring this knowledge.Any additional comments?Wish it was part of my high school's curriculum.

I struggled to make it through chapter 2. This book is full of baseless assertions masked as...at best, pseudo-science. Although it's very enthusiastic, it's nothing more than a weird pep talk from a man who died broke.

Almost every self-help writer lists this book as a “must read” so I did. Maybe because this book was “the first”? It had MANY great thoughts that I have read in other books, but this seems to be “the original”. Definitely “out of date” on quite a few things (science, space, “technology” (book predicts that “radio would be the next “big thing” so even predates radio mass appeal let alone television and now Internet). BUT, very correct on other thoughts like what makes men successful, power of thought, how we underestimate our ability to control our thoughts, our habits, and our lives. I will read again as it has some VERY practical thoughts and ideas and exercises.
