This famous and important book that so many people have read is now in its original format.

I never realised that the version I have been reading was an edited 1960 version. I received an email comment from the editor of this book that the original version is on the market for purchase and is about 180 pages more of additional value added material which adds more meaning to the philosophy of Think and Grow Rich.

One of the reasons for the original larger version is that when Napoleon Hill wrote the original book in 1936 he made a lot of reference to America being in a deep economic depression and has references to this in terms of how to work with your thoughts to go beyond the lack that was experienced at the time. He wrote the book to bring hope to humanity at the time and the book does exactly that and is very relevant to the modern world we live in.

We are today witnessing massive falls in the stock market prices and the property and real estate markets have contracted considerably. I believe we are entering a period of great economic uncertainty and the only certainty we really have is the power to direct our mind and thoughts to what we want and do it with faith, strength and purpose.

Think and Grow Rich is an enabler for that if you are willing to follow Napoleon Hill´s guidance.

If you are interested to read more about the original version, here is a link to the book on Amazon.

I end this article with a very nice video clip of Napoleon Hill´s wisdom which is just under 5 minutes in length.
