Sep 25, 2020

If you're ready for another book in the vein of New Thought (remember that from Oracle At The Supermarket?), then do we have the book for you!

This week, we are reviewing one of the best selling self-help books of ALL TIME!

Some estimates guess over 70 million books have been sold since it was originally published in 1937!

Get ready for Misty & Lisa to tackle this book... to the ground. 

This week, Lisa and Misty cover one of the best-selling self-help books of all time: Think and Grow Rich by Napoleon Hill.

Originally written in 1937, this book has sold an estimated 50+ million copies.

Oliver Napoleon Hill (1883 –1970) was an American self-help author. He is known best for his book Think and Grow Rich which is among the 10 best-selling self-help books of all time. There is contention with his history, however, which is covered briefly in this episode and extensively in this article from Gizmodo.

In this (multi-million, New York Times bestseller) Think and Grow Rich book review, we cover the following chapters:

  1. General Introduction
  2. Desire
  3. Faith
  4. Auto-Suggestion
  5. Specialized Knowledge
  6. Imagination
  7. Organized Planning
  8. Decision
  9. Persistence
  10. Power of the Master Mind
  11. The Mystery of Sex Transmutation
  12. The Sub-Conscious Mind
  13. The Brain
  14. The Sixth Sense
  15. How to Outwit the Six Ghosts Of Fear
