Think and Grow Rich – The Greatest Success Manual and a Discount


As has been quoted many times by the best and well known mentors of our times, Think and Grow Rich is without debate the greatest success book of all time. As described by Anthony Robbins one of the best known success mentors of our time, the book which was first produced in hard cover and later in soft cover, is without a doubt one of the best manuals for success ever written.

Everyone with their name on the list of the who’s who in our generation, without exception attribute some impact in their success and eventual transformation to this text. They refer to it with respect as one of the carriers of change for generations. Tens of missions of people all over world, and their numbers are not separated by color, race, or creed attest to having experienced life transforming revelations within the pages of this classic manual.

Think and Grow Rich by Napoleon Hill first published in 1937 has maintained its appeal

Starting out on the journey of searching for what I did not know

It is an interesting encounter if you think about it – looking for something you do not know. Having started what essentially is a quiet transformation with a noisy declaration, 'if I am not rich by the end of this year, then God is a fraud' was probably the single silliest thing I ever did on this journey.
I mean now all eyes were on me to discover how fraudulent I was going to make God out to be, and I had no idea what I was even on about.

Now it is second to impossible to tell people that you are looking for something, which you yourself cannot define. It is an easy way to be declared a psycho and I was well on my way to that title.
Things came to a funny head for me in an honestly unrelated encounter though. The first was an encounter with what I now know as world famous personal development therapy; Neuro-Linguistic Programming (NLP).
Its funny, the saying is true; when the pupil is ready, the teacher will come. More often than not, we do not even recognise that teacher even when they are standing right before us. And I was no different.

Inspiration you can depend on is all around you when you keep an open heart

I found one of the most profound narrations I have ever read in the Bible.
Profound because it took me well over two decades to finally understand it, and profound because most people I have met believe you cannot learn the Law of Attraction from the Bible.
Most teachers of the Law of Attraction will refer to the Bible in quick reference to a common quotation; as a man thinks so is he. It is a half quote actually because the complete quotation has nothing to do with the Law of Attraction.
Having understood the basic substance of the Law of Attraction, I am often inclined to think that most Law of Attraction teachers have no idea where the original quotation is.
But I was not talking about that common Law of Attraction quotation.
The Bible and the story of the Law of Attraction
There is a story of a man in the Bible called Jacob. Now Jacob was streetwise as we would speak of him today.
