Customer Reviews

Great resource.

I love this book. I use it often for daily inspiration. I have even typed the daily thoughts, categorized by month, into Microsoft Word. I then printed & filed them in my daily planner. Reading one every morning helps focus my mind on what is important. Love the writings on personal character.

This book focuses on achieving success through positive relationships and a healthy mental attitude.

Positive motivation, day by day

A very successful person once told me to make success training a priority, to work harder on myself than I do at my job. I did just that by purchasing several of Napolean Hills books and programs, this one included.In meditations, Hill offers us a meditation a day to take mediocrity away. That's all it takes; just one meditation per day.This book should be read along with Think and Grow rich. Keep a copy by your nite stand in your bedroom and read one meditation per day, morning and evening and watch what it does for you!

Being Positive Always Wins the Day

This book is organized by days of the year, but I enjoyed just opening it and discovering my "message" for the day. I opened it just now and one of the affirmations was "a negative mind only spawns negative ideas." Following is a short paragraph discussing the point. The affirmations are seemingly simple, but they lead to deeper issues and consideration of how you engage your mind and how you intereact with the world because of it. It is a good precursor to my current favorite book (recently published) on "positivity" - The One Minute Guide to Prosperity and Enlightenment - which gives actual techniques on how to use your positive energy/positive attitude to achieve financial and spiritual success. I just opened the One Minute Guide to a chapter with the title - "Take Control of Your Thoughts: Everything that happens in your life depends on how you spend your thought energy. You are your thoughts." Everything is colored my our own perceptions and these affirmations and techniques reinforce and demonstrate ways in which you can continually strive to achieve a positive state of mind. Good reading!

A DAILY PRIMER FOR OVERCOMING YOUR "STALLED" THINKING

The weakness of most programs for helping a person improve his or her life is the lack of follow-up. New principles have to be applied repeatedly before they become new habits that overcome the old (bad habits arising from "stalled" thinking) that caused the problem in the first place. Many books make no attempt to deal with this. Napoleon Hill in his classic, THINK AND GROW RICH, did address the question originally by providing daily exercises for the reader to follow. Many people probably find that they lack the self-discipline, the time, or other key resources to follow that good advice. For those people (probably 99% of us), this book is helpful, because it is easier to use on a daily basis. Although these meditations will leave you short of the results you would get from following Napoleon Hill's original advice, they may keep you going to the point where you become motivated to do that. As such, this book is a great investment for almost everyone.
