Yes, repetition is the key to forming new habits, but I feel unnecessarily beaten about the head to the point where I'm wondering if MK-Ultra surreptitiously infiltrated my brain.

Napoleon Hill is a God (I think MK-Ultra made me say that) and this book goes into more detail than Think and Grow Rich, but if you've read the latter then that's probably enough--your get the gist.

More of a 4.5 ...

Did not finish! Gave up half way through as it was so hard to follow and ultimately says that if you are a good person and work hard you will get rich.

A classic of the genre. It was interesting to see some of the origins of different philosophies but listening to this on audiobook became challenging toward the end. Plus some the 1965-era viewpoints and perspectives can be distracting if not offensive to some readers. I appreciated the book, definitely got value, but would not recommend the audiobook version.

I have read about 5-6 books by Napoleon Hill and I have to admit that there is not much new information - but the same old basic principles repeated again. Maybe even no any new perspectives on them. BUT the principles are indeed golden so I'd say it's worth picking up a "new" Napoleon Hill book every year ;) As I am a fan of Andrew Carnegie (I have read his autobiography) I can really tell that the author in this book is talking about the real principles of Mr Carnegie (even though published years after his death). BTW It's quite funny to hear what the US was 100 years ago :) The land of the dreams has become the land of donuts.
