Perhaps no other “ess” book has influenced more people
than Napoleon Hill’s Classic “Think and Grow Rich.” Since it’s
introduction in 1937, millions of copies have been sold around the
world. It still remains one of the top selling books of its kind.
Several months ago I came across an audiobook biography of
Hill and it was an eye-opening adventure into the life of a man
whose days were not the “smooth sailing” I had always assumed
they were.
Napoleon struggled against a myriad of obstacles throughout
his life – many of which were brought on by some of the earlier
choices he had made. I can’t count the number of times he became
broke and penniless following a highly essful venture gone
sour. His personal life was as spotted as his financial life and a
recounting of that could easily consume a full book.
I would have thought that my discovery of his many flaws
would cause me to lose respect for him, and thus doubt the veracity
of his teachings that have influenced me for more than twenty
years. But it is quite the opposite. Having listened to the struggles
of this very “human” man has given me a whole new perspective of
respect, even awe, of
the incredible resilience and persistence that he displayed
repeatedly against sometimes massive odds.
I now understand that he didn’t write about some “theory” of
how to think and grow rich. He wrote from experience – his
numerous experiences and the experiences of America’s most
essful.
While the casual observer would believe that this book is only
about making money, those of us who have studied it for years
know otherwise. It’s about a better way to live a “rich” life. And for
that I am grateful that Napoleon gave so much of himself in order
that he might leave us with this incredible work.
