If someone told me a book could literally shift my entire mindset, and keep doing it every single time I pick it up, I probably wouldn’t have believed them. But Think and Grow Rich by Napoleon Hill is exactly that kind of book.
First things first: it’s not the easiest read. The language is old-school, and some chapters feel like a mental workout. Honestly, it’s the kind of book you might finish, close, and think, “Wait… what did I just read?” But here’s the thing, that’s actually part of the magic.
This is a book you don’t just read once and toss aside. It’s a book you re-read again and again because the value doesn’t come all at once. Every time I revisit it, I pick up something new, a fresh perspective, a reminder, or a spark of motivation that I desperately needed but didn’t realize.
As someone who’s always battling my inner critic and trying to reframe my mindset, Think and Grow Rich has become my go-to reset. It teaches you that success, growth, and really living start from within, how you think, how you believe, and how you push past those mental blocks.
What stuck with me the most is the idea that your mindset isn’t fixed. It’s a muscle. And like any muscle, it needs regular training. When life throws those “What if I fail?” moments at me, I go back to this book. It reminds me to flip the script, to think bigger, and to grow richer, not just in money, but in confidence, resilience, and purpose.
So yes, it’s a tough read, but it’s worth it. If you’re the kind of person who needs a little nudge to keep your mindset in check, this might just become your favourite tough-love coach on paper.
And honestly? I’m already planning my next re-read.
