Think and Grow Rich — A New Edition for the Modern Age
What does it really take to turn an idea into achievement, ambition into action, and determination into lasting success?
First published in 1937, Think and Grow Rich became one of the most influential success books ever written, introducing generations of readers to a powerful philosophy built around desire, faith, persistence, disciplined thinking, and purposeful action. Its central message remains as relevant today as ever: lasting success begins with the way you think.
This new edition brings Napoleon Hill’s timeless principles into the modern world.
The fundamental ideas remain at the heart of the book, but the language, examples, and perspective have been refreshed for today’s readers. The world of entrepreneurship, technology, investing, business, and personal achievement has changed dramatically since Hill first documented the lessons of some of the most successful people of his era. Yet the underlying principles that drive exceptional achievement—clear goals, focused thought, persistence, self-belief, strategic planning, and decisive action—continue to endure.
This edition presents those principles in a clear, accessible, and contemporary form, helping a new generation understand how timeless ideas about success can be applied to modern life and work.
Whether you are building a business, pursuing financial independence, developing your career, or simply determined to create a more purposeful life, Think and Grow Rich offers a framework for transforming ambition into action.
Think boldly. Act deliberately. Persist relentlessly. Build the life you envision.
The world has changed. The principles of achievement have not.
Napoleon Hill was born in Wise County, Virginia. He began his writing career at age 13 as a "mountain reporter" for small town newspapers and went on to become America's most beloved motivational author. His work stands as a monument to individual achievement and is the cornerstone of modern motivation. His most famous work, Think and Grow Rich, is one of the best-selling books of all time. Hill established the Foundation as a nonprofit educational institution whose mission is to perpetuate his philosophy of leadership, self-motivation, and individual achievement.
