Think and Grow Rich

Someone who takes Napoleon Hill's useful habits (a definite aim, a written plan, a peer group, persistence) and leaves his unsupported claims behind.

Twelve Stations through Hill's 1937 classic, read with care. We keep the habits that hold up: one written aim, specialised knowledge, an organised plan, prompt decisions, a master mind group, persistence, naming fear. We say plainly which claims are unverified or unsupported, including his own origin story, and leave them out.

The BookYol LetterTwo letters a week

For the road

The road is daily. The letter is weekly.

While you walk Think and Grow Rich, two letters a week widen the view: a big idea on Tuesday and a small experiment on Friday, drawn from the same shelf of books.

Tuesday

The Big Idea

One idea that challenges an assumption, explained properly, with its source.

Friday

The Small Experiment

One small thing to try before Monday, so the idea becomes something you do.
