The story
Napoleon Hill's quintessential volume _Think and grow rich_, the all-time bestseller in the field of professional success, outlines the laws of success and sets the standard of today's motivational thinking.
What it’s like
Earnest, evangelical and brisk, the prose reads like a long sermon delivered by a confident salesman who believes every sentence he says. Short declarative maxims are repeated and reworded until they settle into the mind, and the pages are broken up by anecdotes about industrialists, inventors and self-made men told in a warm, conspiratorial tone. The sensory world is almost nonexistent: no weather, no rooms, just a steady stream of ideas about desire, persistence, faith and the mind's power over circumstance. Its mood is hopeful, slightly old-fashioned and very sure of itself, with a rhythm that favours restatement over momentum, so it can be read a chapter at a time over coffee or flipped open for a jolt of resolve before a difficult week. The register is upbeat without being giddy, and there is no violence, sexuality or fear, only the mild tension of being urged to act. Written in the American New Thought tradition, it suits readers who want encouragement toward ambition and goal-setting, and it sits comfortably in a Spanish-language edition for the same audience of people seeking direction in business and life.
