About the author

Napoleon Hill

1,646books5,142followers
Oliver Napoleon Hill was an American self-help author and conman. He is best known for his book Think and Grow Rich (1937), which is among the best-selling self-help books of all time. Hill's works insisted that fervid expectations are essential to improving one's life. Most of his books were promoted as expounding principles to achieve "success".
Hill is a controversial figure. Accused of fraud, modern historians also doubt many of his claims, such as that he met Andrew Carnegie and that he was an attorney.

Positive suggestion helps to improve. The combination of both helps at least in the examples to strengthen the relationship and gain the trust by making suggestions. Dress to impress! #blinkist

Feels quite outdated, a lot of it is based on gut feelings and using the "Power of your mind" to steer things into the direction you want to. I believe in willpower and everything, but a lot of these sentiments in this book border on unproven theories.

Despite all of that, the book was enjoyable to listen to, mostly because it had some fun anecdotal stories. Best to be taken with a truckload of grains of salt, however.

I didn鈥檛 love this book, however, it does have some key teachings within it, that can be useful, hence the three stars. The delivery is quite old fashioned and I didn鈥檛 gel with it. As much as I value and appreciate older self help books, this one just wasn鈥檛 up there with my faves.

We create our lives through our thoughts, and this can lead to transformative success.
(Imaginary Board of Idols) He found that by using autosuggestion to focus on inspiring thoughts, you can transform your life and find success.
Listed all the positive remarks of the opposing side made and agreed that they made good points. Then you can move them over.
The author knew a manager who never criticized his workers. Instead, he would walk through the offices and compliment each worker, one at a time, for their great work. While doing so, he would always make the subtle suggestion that they could do even better if they tried.
The manager knew that criticizing him for the dip in efficiency would only demoralize the employee. So he put his hand on the employee鈥檚 shoulder and told him that he was impressed at how the pace of his work had improved and that it was setting an excellent example for the other employees. Remarkably, by the end of that very same day, the employee鈥檚 efficiency rose by 25 percent.
If you want your more successful colleagues to recommend you to one of their business partners, the first thing you can do is make a point of speaking highly of that colleague to some of your contacts.

Not as good as the Think and Grow Rich. But it's a nice book divided in a few good chapters.
What I really like about this one is the focus on your environment and how it affects you, and the importance of dressing well (it's more important than you think)

Blinkist notes:

But here鈥檚 the thing: we can all create the life we want. The secret is simply how we use our thoughts.

One powerful method is through autosuggestion, which allows you to shape how you develop as an individual by feeding your mind inspiring thoughts and images.

He found that by using autosuggestion to focus on inspiring thoughts, you can transform your life and find success.

If you want to improve your skills in convincing others, then your best teacher isn鈥檛 a guru or businessman 鈥� it鈥檚 the poet and playwright William Shakespeare.

In his play Julius Caesar, we can see how the path to changing someone鈥檚 mind starts by taking his side. During Caesar's funeral, Marc Antony attempts to change the minds of those in attendance to see his friend Caesar as a great man.


The author once watched this method used to great effect by a lawyer who was a student of Shakespearean texts. When he began to address the jury, he didn鈥檛 do so by attacking his opponent. Instead, he listed all the positive remarks the opposing side made and agreed that they made good points. In doing so, he gained the jury鈥檚 attention and confidence, at which point he began to list all the flaws in the opponent鈥檚 case. Needless to say, he prevailed at trial without much difficulty.

if you want to improve the work performance of your employees, you need to use positive suggestions, not negative ones.

Prayer
when you pray, it just means you鈥檙e sending a thought out into the universe, and this thought can act like a wave of electricity 鈥� influencing the well-being of your business or whatever it is your prayer might be about.

Another tool that can benefit your business is the law of retaliation, which states that people will act toward you as you act toward them. It might sound simple 鈥撎齛nd it is 鈥� but it鈥檚 also one of the most effective ways to find success. With this principle, you can get anyone to do just about anything you want, so long as you do something for him first.

how do you develop self-confidence? It鈥檚 all about realizing that your life and happiness are in your hands and no one else鈥檚. You need to start taking full responsibility for your life and appreciating that the buck stops with you.

Keep fear away as you would keep poison from your food.


you can turn your 6 a.m. wake-up call into a habit by repeating it often enough, thereby making it an ingrained part of your everyday life. Before long, you won鈥檛 even have to try to wake up early 鈥� it鈥檒l just happen naturally without any willpower required.

Using this technique can fill your day with positive habits, such as starting the day bright and early, exercising, reading to learn new skills and always jumping at the chance to make a new business contact. It might sound like a lot now, but engaging with these habits will leave you energized and with a surplus of willpower that you can put to use doing good and successful work.

Several times a day, take a few minutes to imagine yourself waking up feeling energized, well-rested and with the ability to spring right out of bed. When visualizing this process, picture every detail. Maybe you start by yawning, then stretching your arms before getting up and out of bed.

If you hope to be a successful business executive, then it makes sense to live near other successful business executives, or at least spend time at clubs or places where they socialize. The best environment for you to be in is one surrounded by people who share your goals in life or career, and to avoid being around people with negative or defeatist attitudes.

When you know what you want to achieve, picture each and every detail about what your perfectly supportive environment will look like. Once you have that image in mind, it鈥檚 time to go out and find it.

Memory

First is to start paying attention.


The second step is to make mental associations.

The third and final step is the power of repetition. Never underestimate the effectiveness of repeating someone鈥檚 name multiple times immediately following an introduction. It鈥檚 also wise to recall the name from time to time over the next few days.

sharpen your senses. The logic here is that when your powers of observation are strong, so is your memory.


Actionable advice:

Dress for success.

Being well-dressed has many advantages in the professional world. First of all, it鈥檒l make you feel more comfortable and confident 鈥� two crucial elements to success. Secondly, smart clothes will give your colleagues a more favorable first impression of you, which in turn will make you more trustworthy in their eyes.

Me parece que Napoleon Hill es el gran escritor de autoayuda. Todo lo dem谩s parece derivarse de los trabajos de este autor, cualquier libro moderno parece regurjitar los conceptos que en los 20's expon铆a Hill. Previamente hab铆a le铆do su libro m谩s famoso , en alguna de tantas ediciones. Al igual que aquel, los principios expuestos son atempor谩neos, pero si valdr铆a la pena que alg煤n editor se tomara la molestia en actualizarlos al s. XXI, porque algunos ejemplos son increiblemente aburridos por la "simpleza" de los problemas que trata y c贸mo los trata.

En este libro se habla mucho del poder de la auto sugesti贸n y c贸mo antes de obtener algo, hay que imaginarnos obteni茅ndolo 驴La ley de la atracci贸n, y mamarrachadas similares, pero sin lo estot茅rico?

Dentro de estos cap铆tulos Hill menciona que hac铆a ejercicios donde "sentaba a su mesa" a personajes famosos e imaginaba las pl谩ticas que se dar铆an. Para esto me pregunto 驴y realmente imaginaba a esas personas, o imaginaba al estereotipo asociado a esas personas? Por ejemplo, si hoy en d铆a imagin谩semos una comida con Steve Jobs, quiz谩s imaginar铆amos una comida con el estereotipo del tipo creador, inventivo, gran l铆der, obsesivo con los detalles y dem谩s, cuando el verdadero Jobs, de acuerdo a sus bi贸grafos ser铆a un tanto diferente. Entonces, esas cenas de Hill donde se imaginaba a Franklin o a Lincoln, 驴no ser铆an m谩s bien un veh铆culo del que se sirve para tratar con gente que representa un estereotipo positivo?

Como sea, creo que lo que me quedo como aprendizaje, es que es necesario leer much铆simas m谩s biograf铆as para poder utilizar esta t茅cnica que me pareci贸 de hecho bastante interesante.

Book Review by Vanga Srikanth

Before Napoleon Hill became a massively successful author, he wrote articles for a magazine called Success Magazine. The nucleus of those articles is what this book is made of with each chapter coming from a different article. It is a book that everyone should read once in their life.

There are twelve chapters in the book and the first chapter is only four pages long, but it is packed with information which should be read more than once. Hill says we all consist of and develop "sense impressions" from the same things; teachings we received at home, Sunday school or Church (which can be substituted for whatever religious background we have), public or private schools, and daily newspapers or magazines.

The impressions we have is what make up our conscious and sub-conscious minds and in order for us to be successful, we need to fine- tune them.
He emphasizes two things in later chapters; suggestion, which is how we influence the minds of others, and auto-suggestion, which is how we tap into the powers of our own mind. Hill believes the latter of the two is more important as we need to create in our minds the plan for achieving what we want.

He says the person who has a sound plan and has the self-confidence to make it work is undefeatable. Confidence must be created in the mind before that mind is "neutralized." What Hill means is that our minds can lose focus and it must be in a certain state where it will only accept the things which will help a person achieve his or her goals.

In the 4th chapter, Hill says there is an "unknown phenomena" that helps us when we pray. He emphasizes that it has "no connection whatsoever" with organized religion. He doesn't clarify whether he means any person who believes in a higher power can pray or anyone, including Atheists, can make a prayer. This is something that is interesting since those who do not believe in God can obviously pray, but to who they pray is something of a mystery.

Later on, Hill talks about how we must turn the thing which we are trying to overcome or master into a habit. He says we must stick to doing whatever it is we aspire to do until it becomes 2nd nature. He says we should have the "tenacity of a bull-dog" and not let anything deter us from getting the thing we want.

Towards the end, Mr. Hill talks about the power of persuasion and says that a teacher who can stimulate minds and make students reach for higher then their averages "will confer a blessing on the human race second to none in the history of the world." This stresses the important role that educators play. It is crucial that future generations are allowed to reach for greatness and become successful by developing their highest level of concentration.

He ends the book by summarizing the Golden Rule Philosophy and tells us not to worry about the injustices in the world and people who do not apply the Golden Rule. "You can change the attitude of others towards you by first changing your attitude towards others." Your job is to master yourself and believe that you can be successful by being a force of attraction and then others will follow your lead.

Napoleon Hill makes it clear: Your thoughts are the basis for your success and failure. Your thoughts are the predecessors of your actions and your actions will determine what yo will become. A great read for the ones that like Henry Ford's famous quote: "Either you think you can or you think you can't, you are right." Even if written almost 100 years ago, it is great book teaching 12 important and revealing still valid lessons in the 21st century:
1: Your Social and Physical Heredity: Hills Golden Rule (May 1920)
2: Auto Suggestion: Napoleon Hill's Magazine (July 1921)
3: Suggestion (Applied Salesmanship): Napoleon Hill's Magazine (August 1921)
4: The Law of Retaliation: Hill's Golden Rule (March 1919)
5: The Power of Your Mind (Little Odd Visits with Your Editor): Hill's Golden Rule (October 1919)
6: How to Build Self-Confidence: Napoleon Hill's Magazine (June 1921)
7: Environment and Habit: Hill's Golden Rule (April 1919)
8: How to Remember: Hill's Golden Rule (May-June 1919)
9: How Marc Antony Used Suggestion in Winning the Roman Mob: Hill's Golden Rule (July 1919)
10: Persuasion vs. Force: Hill's Golden Rule (September 1919)
11: The Law of Compensation: Napoleon Hill's Magazine (April 1921)
12: The Golden Rule as a Pass Key to All Achievement: Napoleon Hill's Magazine (June 1921)

O carte usoara, dar motivationala.
Cu totii am auzit de Napoleon Hill, autor care prin scrierile lui i-a indemnat in permanenta pe oameni sa devina cat mai buni cu putinta. El este primul si cel mai faimos autor de carti motivationale.
Volumul de fata a fost redactat intre 1919 si 1923 si a marcat inceputul carierei sale de autor motivational.
Mai jos va voi lasa doua citate care mi-au placut:
鈥�
"Un gand este ca o samanta sadita in pamant, in sensul ca acesta creste, se inmulteste si aduce roade potrivit naturii sale; prin urmare, nu este recomandat sa nutrim ganduri distructive. Asemenea inclinatii trebuie stavilite cat mai repede prin actiune concreta."
鈥�
"Exista o singura cale adevarata de a-l pedepsi pe cel care ti-a gresit, si anume, sa-i raspunzi la rau cu bine. Timpul pe care-l petreci hranindu-ti sentimentul de ura nu este doar irosit, ci ajunge chiar sa suprime singurele simtaminte demne de om si-ti anihileaza spiritul constructiv. Gandurile dictate de ura nu-i fac rau decat persoanei care le nutreste

Nothing new here. In fact, most of the notes can be found in Napoleon Hill's other books or other self development books.

Napoleon Hill is a powerful writer and he always seems to be able to emphasize his points really well.

Can't get enough of Napoleon Hill, the way he writes and explained the Golden Rules he creates a whole new world in your head.

My top Golden Rule is the AUTO-SUGGESTION. super important to talk to yourself moving forward in the most positive manner possible. The conscious and subconscious mind should be managed by ourselves 24/7.

Quotation from the book.
The presence of any thought or idea in ones conscious mind (and probably the same is true of thoughts and ideas in the subconscious division of the mind) tends to produce an "associated felling" and to urge one to appropriate bodily activity in transforming the thought so held into physical reality.

Los libros de Napoleon Hill me dejan siempre conceptos que me resultan obsesivos, en el buen sentido, y la sensaci贸n de que debo leer otro libro por alg煤n concepto que no se amplia dado el enfoque de cada uno. Esto me da un poco de impotencia pues me produce una visi贸n incompleta, sin embargo me parece lo correcto y un poco excitante dada la cantidad de informaci贸n ilustrada en cada aspecto.
Personalmente creo que no hay un orden para leer a Napoleon Hill, y que sus libros son verdaderamente de superaci贸n personal pues, desligandonos del autor y su vida, yo percibo que nos induce en un juego econ贸mico, al explicarnos la forma en la que el ve que funciona, pero sin marcar un camino aparente.

It is a good book. It has lots and lots of stories and references, which might be it for you. Well at this point, I have read a lot of motivational books, so with that perspective, it did not have the adequate impact. My attention was drifting here and there. I felt, it was a little outdated.

From every self development books, you always try to take away something, be it a habit or an idea. So, I had two major takeaways. First was to dress well. This book has emphasized a lot on dressing smartly or beautifully. And the second thing was telling my subconscious to wake me at a particular time. I tried it, it worked, so I will continue doing it.

This was ok, if you know who he is, you've probably already read 'Think and Grow rich' (a must read) and there isn't much additional content in this book. It's also a bit cumbersome as it's written 100 years ago. That said, it's amazing how the same laws of business and wealth that he talks about a century ago still work today.

Even if I was a bit skeptical at the beginning, it became a very useful lecture. With memorable stories that became lessons, with life changing perspectives about the importance of suggestion, environment, affirmations, and many others, if you make one good change in your life after reading this, as I did, can be easily declared as a great lecture.
