Truly inspirational. The single best book I have ever read.,
If you asked me to recommend to you the single best book I have ever read, my answer would be a very definite “Think and Grow Rich”.
First published in 1937, this is the end product of two decades of research conducted by Napoleon Hill. His research started when Andrew Carnegie (the steel tycoon who was then the richest man on earth) gave him the assignment of organizing a Philosophy of Personal Achievement. Hill, who was a poor journalist, armed with just an introductory letter from Carnegie, set out to interview over five hundred successful people including Henry Ford, Thomas Edison, Alexander Graham Bell, John D. Rockefeller, George Eastman, William Wrigley Jr. and Charles M. Schwab. Hill then revealed the priceless wisdom of his research in the form of the thirteen steps to success (in Think and Grow Rich) and the seventeen principles of success (in courses and lectures he conducted).
The concepts taught by Napoleon Hill transformed my life. Some of these include developing a definite purpose, building a Positive Mental Attitude (PMA), channeling the power of the sub-conscious mind and dealing with adversity. Everything he wrote about or talked about is thought provoking. He was wise, humble and funny. His philosophy is universal; he did not mix it with religion. The riches he referred to were more than money, for the Philosophy of Personal Achievement can be applied to anything in life.
This is a classic, and hence the examples are old (not to be confused with outdated). But they are as relevant today as they were in the early twentieth century. Here is an example from T&GR in the chapter on Desire:
On the morning after the Great Fire of Chicago (1871), a group of merchants on Chicago’s State Street went into a conference to decide whether to rebuild their stores or leave Chicago. All but one decided to leave. The merchant who decided to stay pointed a finger to the remains of his store and said “Gentlemen, on that very spot I will build the world’s greatest store, no matter how many times it may burn down.” His name was Marshall Field and his store still exists, and in Hill’s words is “a towering monument to that state of mind known as a burning desire.” I lived in Chicago from 2002 through 2004 and worked three blocks away from this impressive store on State Street. Sometimes I would visit it or stand outside it to derive inspiration and be reminded of the power of desire. It is amazing that Hill describes “burning desire” with a story based on the Chicago Fire.
There are thousands of self-help books out in the market and hundreds of self proclaimed “gurus” who have made a living by copying the wisdom in Hill’s books. As I went through some of those books I realized that there was not much in them that Hill had not already written about. I recommend quality over quantity. Instead of reading through many books, I recommend that you study the following works of Hill and internalize his wisdom:
1. The Think and Grow Rich Action Pack – I recommend the Action Pack edition (i.e. this book),
2. Napoleon Hill’s Keys to Success: The 17 Principles of Personal Achievement – this is an excellent guide to his principles,
3. Your Right To Be Rich [Unabridged] – this consists of 12 hours of live lectures covering the 17 principles, that Hill conducted in Chicago in 1954.
By internalizing, I mean studying in depth – analyzing the ideas, making notes and summaries. I own more CDs by Hill, but I believe that these 3 items make the perfect study plan on the Philosophy of Personal Achievement.
I am greatly indebted to Napoleon Hill. The purpose of my writing this is to spread awareness of his work so that more people can benefit from it. This, I believe is the best way in which Hill would have liked to have been repaid.

|Think and Grow Rich & Attain WHATEVER You Desire,
This book is GREAT! I like this version of Napoleon Hill’s Think and Grow Rich with the “action pack” much better than the regular edition. The action pack guides you step by step on how to put everything the book has presented into action. I have read the works of other authors like Catherine Ponder and Norman Vincent Peale, but this book gives clear steps on how to put the knowledge you’ve been given into motion. Positive thinking works, but it does take some effort to take effect. This is especially true, if you’ve already been”programmed” by yourself or others to think that being rich is impossible, or “you’ll never amount to anything”, or “it’s not what you know, it’s who you know.” These are all a bunch of untruths. Anything you desire can be acheived, if you KNOW how, and this book will show you how.

|Be The Best “You” Possible,
Those were Wally Amos’s words. And this book is an excellent source to help you to get there.
While I have read the original book, “Think and Grow Rich, by Napolean Hill,12 times, I believe that this is an excellent book to read, in addition to the original, for all races, and in particular African-Americans.
Writing a book that targets the black audience, as this book does may lead readers to ask, “Why ‘we’ or ‘they’ need something different, or special?
This is analogous to asking, “Why do they need a Black networking group?”
And my answer, as is the essense of Dr. Kimbro’s answer, is that someone who is not African-American does not have the same challenges as an African-American has; therefore, identifying the resources, problems and possibilities, via a book, and networking that targets African-American, is an excellent way to answer the questions that Napoleon Hill couldn’t answer on a level that Kimbro could answer – combining direct experiences, and research makes for an excellent source to the secrets of success.

|the ultimate checkup from the neck up!,
Think and grow rich a black choice is excellent in preparing african americans for success. It doesn’t take the reader all the way you will still have to add other books to your library like BLUEPRINT FOR BLACK POWER BY AMOS WILSON and BLACK LABOR WHITE WEALTH to kind of balance out your personality. Let’s face it you need to strongly desire your goal like a starving man desires food but desire alone does not guarantee success. You also need to know how to anticipate problems before they come up. You should have at least 3 back up plans. Dont give up on your ultimate goals but just be prepared to take the detour road if you have to.
