Think And Grow Rich is a self-help classic that has inspired several generations of entrepreneurs into achieving success. Summary Of The Book Napoleon Hill was only a young reporter when he met the industrialist, Andrew Carnegie, for an assignment in 1908. Carnegie told him that he had worked out a formula for success. He was sure that it could be used by anyone to become rich and successful in life. Hill undertook the task of researching on a host of leading personalities to prove the formula and publish it for the world to read. He released his findings in 1928 in his book, The Law of Success. Think And Grow Rich was released almost a decade later, in 1937. It draws from the ideas presented in The Law of Success and condenses them into thirteen definitive laws of becoming rich. However, the book’s sole purpose is not to direct people to amass wealth, the laws can be applied by anyone to become successful in their respective line of work. As part of his research for the book, Hill analyzed 500 of the richest and the most successful personalities of his time. The list includes eminent names such as Henry Ford, Theodore Roosevelt, Jennings Randolph, William H. Taft, Thomas Edison, Alexander Graham Bell, Charles M. Schwab, and Elmer Gates. Since its release in 1937, the book has sold over 70 million copies worldwide. It is listed in John C. Maxwell's A Lifetime Must Read Books List. It has been adapted into a number of illustrated versions of the book including a graphic novel by Smarter Comics. The original version has been twice revised and updated, first in 1960 and second in 2004. The latter was released under the title Think and Grow Rich: The 21st-Century Edition.
