This month’s book club pick is Think and Grow Rich by Napoleon Hill. Having previously read Napoleon Hill’s book Outwitting the Devil, I find his approach to life very fascinating.
I picked this book because my financial situation is not great at this moment in time. I have a very unstable relationship with money due to experiences from my childhood. As well as, never having learned how to take care of my own finances. I don’t expect this book to bring me massive hoards of wealth simply by reading it. But I do hope to gain some wisdom and insight in how to move forward with acquiring the wealth I’ve always envisioned I would have.
The core idea of this book is that if you can control your mind, you can control your destiny. Napoleon Hill outlines how to do this with a 13 step approach that’s given form through a philosophy of empowerment. The back cover copy also claims that this book “has been credited with helping to inspire more people to become millionaires and billionaires than any other book in history.”
I encourage you all not just to read this book, but to enact many of the steps described throughout. I look forward to checking in and seeing how you all are enjoying it!
Happy reading!
