How I Came Across This Book:-

Think and grow rich was the very first non-fiction book I read. I pick this book for the very first time back in 2018 when I completed my school. The reason to pick this book is I was searching for the answers like what should I do next after completing school, I started searching on Youtube for my questions while searching on Youtube I got one video as a recommendation whose title was  “14 books you should read by Puneet Biseria “ on a channel named Puneet Biseria and in the video narrator shared 14 books which he thinks everyone should read, narrator especially emphasizes on reading these books in an order and the first book he suggest was “Think and Grow Rich” by Napoleon Hill. So that’s how I bought this book and began my reading journey.

About The Book:-

This book was written by Napoleon Hill who was an American writer. Hill wrote this book in 1937 with the motivation of helping people to earn a monetary fortune through the principles and processes followed by American giants like Henry Ford, Thomas A. Edison, Andrew Carnegie, Rockefeller, Theodore Roosevelt, etc. To write this book, he interviewed hundreds of well-known Americans of his time, including the names which I already told you. Hill also wants to tell people that riches can be accumulated by anyone who wants them from his/her heart and follows the principles in this book. But it turns out that this book will not only help you in making a monetary fortune but will also inspire you to achieve and create the targets which will surely make a difference in your life in terms of success and well-being. The title may suggest that this book is all about money but don’t let yourself be fooled because this book and much more than just a finance book. Around 80% of self-help books are based on the principles which are given in this book.

Drawbacks Of the Book:-

·         2)- There are many suggestions in this book that I felt hold zero value in our present world.

·         3)- The book is mostly based on America and many people especially those who are not from America may not be able to connect with this book because of the American perspective of the things shown in this book.

·         4)- This book does not go too deep into the principles which can be an advantage to beginners but to regular readers, this may be a disappointment.

Conclusion:-

This book is great for beginners but not for the regular readers. As a beginner, if you pick this book then it will surely help you in building the habit of reading. This book is also not too long as it only has 300 pages approximately. If you are a beginner and want to start reading a self-help book then this can be a great option for you. But for regular readers, I don’t think you should pick this book.

MY SCORE FOR THIS BOOK IS 75/100. And according to me, this book is worth reading. 

With that, I think that must be it for the blog and I will see you guys next time until then have fun and keep reading.
