Ballantine Think And Grow Rich

Love this book.

The quality of the product is outstanding. I would like to share my feedback, suggesting that a reduction in price could make it more accessible for international students. This adjustment may prove to be beneficial for a wider audience.

Helpful book in life

Beautiful edition

Great book, but really small font size.

The book seems new.

WORTH TO READ

Ok to read

Muy buen libro, muy completo con información interesante, lo único es que hay mucha información basada en contexto antiguo lo cual no aplica , los ejemplos que se usan son de otra época

Really a great book to read!

Lövtunna blad, ungefär som i bibeln. Jag ser bläcket genom pappret och det blir jobbigt att läsa.

This is the second time that I’ve read this book. Parts of this book are heavy going and the stories and references will undoubtedly have less relevance today than when the book was first published in 1937. With that said this book still gets 10/10 because its core ideas are timeless and hugely important in achieving success. Many personal development books build on the foundations of this book and this is a great book to read early on in your life and career. Read it, take notes and revisit the teachings regularly to get maximum benefit. There are many follow up actions that are required after reading this book and unless you make the effort to action these then don’t be surprised if success remains illusive. Here are some of the key learnings I took away from this book. Introduction • Success is mind control is self-disciple and habit • Reading a book is not enough. To reap the full benefit you must study, digest and meditate on the contents • Try highlighting interesting passages and transferring these to a separate sheet of paper that can be studied regularly • Most of what you learn in school is of no use in the accumulation of riches • Building wealth starts with your state of mind. You must desire wealth incredibly deeply to ensure you don’t quit, like most other people, when encountering temporary defeat Desire • You must develop and reinforce a burning desire 1. Decide exactly how much money you want 2. Determine what you are willing to sacrifice to obtain this money 3. Set a date by which you must have accumulated the money 4. Create a clear plan and begin immediately 5. Write all the above as a statement of intent 6. Read this statement twice daily • Visualise having all this money. You must believe! Faith • The dominating thoughts of your mind recreate themselves in outward, physical action. Once your mind is dominated by these thoughts you will have FAITH. • To build your own faith follow the self-confidence formula in the book Auto-suggestion • Any thoughts that you persistently hold in your mind will result in plans being suggested to your sub conscious mind. Specialised knowledge • Knowledge is worthless unless it is organised and intelligently directed • Anyone who stops studying after school is doomed to mediocracy Imagination • Imagination is a limiting factor because man can create anything that he imagines • Your imagination will help you formulate definite plans to build your wealth Organised planning • Work with other people (your ‘Master Mind’ alliance) to help formulate effective plans • Your plans will often fail. Persevere and create new plans The mastery of procrastination • Be in the habit of reaching decisions quickly and starting to work on your plans immediately Persistence • To build a great fortune you must be incredibly persistent • To help you build persistence focus on building a definite purpose, defining a clear plan and closing your mind to negative influences and surrounding yourself with positive and able people The power of the master mind • You will become the average of your associates so choose your company carefully • Associating yourself with people that have some expertise in the area you are looking to be successful can greatly accelerate your success The mystery of sex • The emotion of sex can lift your brain to new heights. This can be achieved by getting an attractive secretary, for example! • Most young men dissipate this sexual emotion and limit their ability to reach such heights The subconscious mind • Your subconscious mind is an intermediary between your desires and actionable steps The sixth sense • Once you have mastered the other steps will enable great ideas to voluntarily come to your mind (e.g. hunches)

I only wish I had read this book 30 years ago. Think and Grow Rich is timeless in its core message about clarity of purpose, discipline, and persistence. While some parts reflect the era in which it was written, the fundamental principles remain remarkably relevant today. What makes this book powerful is not tactics or shortcuts, but the mindset it instills. It forces you to think seriously about goals, commitment, and responsibility for your own outcomes. Reading it now felt like reconnecting with ideas that many modern books reference, but few explain as clearly at the root. This is not a quick or trendy read—it’s a foundational one. Highly recommended for anyone who wants to understand the mindset behind long-term success, regardless of profession or industry. --R
