Napoleon Hill's Think and Grow Rich was first published in 1937.  It could just as well have been published today as the principles that Hill espouses are truly timeless.

Hill was challenged by Andrew Carnegie to examine the successful millionaires of the day and find out what had led to their success.  He interviewed thousands of people and used this empirical data to create a framework that is the basis of think and grow rich.

While it would be tempting to read the title of the book and think of it as a "how to get rich" book, nothing could be further from the truth.  Instead, Hill presents a way of thinking and a way of approaching life that will enable you to be successful in whatever endeavor you pursue.

The summary of this book is a bit longer than normal as there is so much information that Hill shares.

Hopefully you will find some value in the summary, will put a few of Hill's ideas in practice, and will share freely with your friends.
