Think And Grow Rich by Napoleon Hill #bookreview #success

I can't really review the book as I'm still reading it(!).

I'm a slow reader, and only really read when I feel I am in "dead time" like commuting, so I only get to read this on the train to and from work.  Bullshit I know, but run with it.

My daughter would still laugh at me though, she can polish off a book in under a day.  I am so glad for her! 

But I am really enjoying taking my time with this book - it doesn't need to be rushed, I don't need to get to the end so I can "tick it off" as a book I had to read.  I will read it of course, but I already knew a few pages in that I would be keeping this book and re-reading it again and again in the future...

I've never said that about a book before I think.  Well, maybe Richard Koch's 80/20 Principle book, but then again I'm only going to read 20% of that the next time :-)

Basically, I'm loving this book - I can see some of the affirmation type theory in other personal development stuff I have been reading and researching, but for some reason when I started reading this book it all felt new and exciting and different.  I felt like I was being let in on some big secret, and I felt like a kid again.

Now, I know it's not going to make me rich just by reading it, but I know it will make me rich if I follow the advice, tips, exercises and turn the theory and ideas into my own reality.  It still did make me feel something other books have not, and that's awesome!

People I know don't seem to recommend things like this, and are very dismissive of such books.  But as my new (virtual) pal @garyvee might say "Just fucking do it, go for it, get on it, enjoy it, suck it dry".

No idea if he would really say that, but I can hear him in my head giving a passionate rant about it...

Jeez that guy has some energy and passion... I'm new to @garyvee but am finding him a breath of fresh fucking air (oops there he goes again, sorry).

Maybe it's just me - hopefully you will understand if you have read it or are reading it now.  But I encourage you to check it out.

Here's the official blurb of the book:
