Wk3: Think and Grow Rich

Think & Grow Rich by Napoleon Hill turned out to be a different kind of book than I expected, and I still liked it.  I thought this book would be more like a business textbook that gives examples about investing or running a business.  Instead, this book was more like a personal, self-help book. 
Hill wrote the book during the Great Depression and as such, he focuses on getting people back into the proper mindset to be successful.  Without detailing what kind of companies or corporate strategies are successful, he implies that anyone can be financially successful as long as they really want to be.  Using anecdotal evidence of rich individuals from the early 20th century, Hill lists attributes that anyone can have as long as they want the goal, any goal.  He essentially says that if you really want something and can come up with a way to get it, you will have it.  The book is a good motivational tool and it got me thinking in detail about what I want, but it will not help you come up with that perfect strategy to being financially independent.  I will keep this book around and I will reread it from time to time because it does do a good job of resetting the mind-frame to be more motivated.
