About this audiobook
The Napoleon Hill Foundation received many requests from people wanting the original, unedited, 1937 copy of Think and Grow Rich. To satisfy those customers the Foundation reproduced Napoleon Hill’s personal copy of the first edition, printed in March of 1937. The book has the notation, “not to be loaned,” and signed: Annie Lou Hill (the wife of Dr. Hill). This personal copy of Dr. Hill’s was given to me by Dr. Charles W. Johnson, Chairman of the Napoleon Hill Foundation and a nephew of Napoleon Hill.
It was Napoleon Hill who sent Dr. Johnson to medical school, and today he is a practicing cardiologist. Charlie refers to Napoleon Hill as “Uncle Nap” and will often makes the statement, “Uncle Nap would be proud of the Foundation today.” The original 1937 manuscript was written and edited with the assistance of Napoleon’s wife. In later years, the existing document was again edited by Dr. Hill. For example, the Foundation owns a 1958 edition that Hill edited personally. This did not lessen the book’s value in Hill’s judgment. Hill made the editing remarks in his own handwriting and the resulting 1960 edited edition has sold over 100 million copies making it the most read self-help book of all time. Think and Grow Rich sells more copies today than before Dr. Hill died in 1970.
Now, a new and authoritative recording of this original, unedited, one-of-a-kind work, authorized by the Napoleon Hill Foundation is available. By purchasing this audio edition, you will be supporting the nonprofit Napoleon Hill Foundation. The entire philosophy of Napoleon Hill is based on the Golden Rule. The Foundation deeply appreciates the support of those of you who only purchase Napoleon Hill authorized books. You can identify these materials by the Foundation Logo and by looking inside for Napoleon Hill copyright.
Napoleon Hill
Born into poverty in southwest Virginia in 1883, Oliver Napoleon Hill was encouraged to write by his stepmother and soon discovered a talent for it. He began working as a “mountain reporter” for small-town newspapers and went on to become America’s most beloved motivational author. His classic book Think and Grow Rich had sold twenty million copies by the time of Hill’s death in 1970 and remains a cornerstone of the modern self-actualization movement. Before passing, Hill established the Napoleon Hill Foundation as a nonprofit educational institution, whose mission is to perpetuate his philosophy of leadership, self-motivation, and individual achievement.

- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5'Good book with a lot of practical advice; some are less commonly practiced but I've experienced them to yield positive results even before I read this. 'May require an open, accepting, and preferably discerning mind not averse to the seemingly intangible concepts.

- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Wow it's amazing how relevant this book is still in present day!
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5truly one of the best books. I was compelled to buy a hard copy
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Its abilities to lead one to his achievements is stupendous.
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Very inspirational. I have discovered a lot about myself that was hindering my success. I am encouraged to become a better person than i am now.
- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5I understand that this book was written prior to Darwinian evolutionism being irrefutably exposed as a bogus religion, but that sure stole a lot of his credibility. Author sees Darwin as a thinker, when the racist, sexist Darwin was just parroting his uncle's delusions, nothing more. I can accept writing down and speaking goals because it is verifiable AND biblical. HOWEVER "listening to spirit guides" while professing evolutionism is creepy, as I exposed in a book that I wrote "The Dawkins Delusion Exposed" evolutionism is really a mask or veneer for Satanism. Rockefeller and Ford and a few other referenced heros had extremely illuminated globalist mentalities. Yeshua/Jesus was not just another Gandhi or Mohammed, He is devine, author attempts to strip that away from Chirst. While wealth, in itself, has never condemned anyone, focusing on and desiring wealth more than focusing on and desiring a relationship with the Creator is to worship a false God. The good in this book could be summed up with the following... Write down and speak aloud your goals with confidence, passion and frequency.
- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5good book but had random skips and I missed some parts of the book because of this.
