97% of this book was a waste of time to me. It was nothing what I expected it to be. The one redeeming quality of this book came in the last 30 min of listening where the author makes a powerful check list of weaknesses of people who fail.

The positive reviews are right-on... This is a must-read book for those interested in how life works. You'll learn about how people work, and keys to a better life.

My only minor-complaint is that some of the scientific data is out-of-date, such as the suggested "scientifically supported" existence of Telepathy, and Ether, which have since both been proven to not exist. But if you can look past those errors, this is an amazing book.

Yes! It's at the pinnacle of teaching someone how to attain success.

Having a burning desire for what you want and transmuting that desire into it's monetary equivalent through persistance.

His son born without hearing capacity (physical equipment to support hearing) but through desire he learned to hear through bond conduction of sound.

It was an epiphany! I'm 50 years old now and I'm just acquiring this knowledge.

Wish it was part of my high school's curriculum.

The stories in this book will help you to understand the trials many amazing people have gone through and give you an understanding that you can do what you want as long as you commit.

difficult narration for me to stay alert. thoughtful material. a real classic. I've heard these principals repeated again and again by successful people.

why do they not teach this in high school this could have changed my life earlier

Napolean Hill was referred by a friend, and it is a good book, with much needed insight on how successful people think, and create their own success. However, the author does go into heavy, unexpected spiritualism. Near the end, I questioned the author's own sanity - was he very imaginative, or dellusional?
Good production value. Good narration that is not characterized, but not boring. Chapter selection is wonky, but a brisk reading experience that is thought provoking.

80-90% outdated.

I don't believe in mental telepathy.

A very successful man revealing his secrets to well being, not only financially, but in all areas of his life. Interesting, entertaining, and very, very educational.

This is a good book but it's long winded and at times he defently get's off into the weeds and at other times i wished it would just end. A couple good bullets here and there see what you think.
