1. PIENSE Y HÁGASE RICO
   
   He leído este libro un par de veces. No porque me parezca tan bueno como para leerlo más de una vez, sino porque la traducción al español fue hecha hace mucho tiempo, por lo que no estoy familiarizado con algunas palabras.
   
   Tengo entendido que ya existe una versión con lenguaje actualizado en inglés, pero no sé si en español ya exista algo similar.
   
   Yo no he visto con mucho agrado los libros de superación personal, tal vez porque los primeros que leí fueron obligatorios en la escuela, y además eran aburridos. Sin embargo no podía dejar de leer este libro, escrito por uno de los más grandes exponentes de la literatura de superación personal que jamás ha existido: Napoleón Hill.
   
   "Piense y Hágase Rico" no solamente pretende exponer la fórmula que el autor descubrió para adquirir riquezas económicas, sino que en general contiene los pasos a seguir para obtener éxito en la realización de cualquier objetivo.
   
   Puntos a favor:
   · Muestra excelentes ideas, en la forma de 13 pasos, para plantear objetivos, formular planes y ejecutarlos.
   · Es un libro que, como lo dice su título, te pone a pensar.
   · Contiene palabras y pensamientos que realmente inspiran al lector.
   
   Puntos en contra:
   · El autor es muy rígido e insiste demasiado en llevar a cabo los 13 pasos... yo creo que es mejor obtener la esencia de los principios expuestos, y formular personalmente su propia metodología.
   · Para lograr los objetivos planeados el autor da por hecho que el lector cree en la existencia de un Ser Superior, o Mente Infinita, o como se le quiera llamar, excluyendo de esta manera a los ateos... entonces quien no cree en la Mente Infinita, o en Dios, o en algún ser superior está destinado a ser un perdedor, y un miserable toda su vida. Por supuesto esto no ocurre en la realidad.
   · El lenguaje y algunos conceptos son anticuados.
   
   En resumen, sí recomiendo leer "Piense y Hágase Rico" de Napoleón Hill, pero con una mente crítica, reteniendo la esencia de los principios expuestos en el libro.



2. 
   UN EXCELENTE CLASICO DE AYUDA Y SUPERACION PERSONAL
   
   Todos los logros, incluyendo todas las fortunas jamás acumuladas, tuvieron su origen con una idea.
   
   La riqueza proviene de convertir una idea de algo que solamente nuestra mente puede ver en algo que le sea útil a otras personas, y para lo cual estén dispuestos a pagar.
   
   Esto se realiza mediante la autosugestión, la planeación organizada, la asociación de mentes maestras y una armonía interna entre los pensamientos y las acciones así como los logros en la vida.

4. El único pero que le pongo a este audiolibro es el hecho de que el narrador se pasa los primeros 40 minutos dando su aburrido punto de vista y consejos, además de que su voz es un poco ridícula. Me hubiése gustado una voz mas agradable como la de J.J. Benitez.

5 comments about Napoleon Hill's Positive Action Plan: 365 Meditations For Making Each Day a Success.

1. 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!



2. 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!




3. Napoleon Hill is the recognized expert on all things success. In this book, Hill reveals how you can grow rich, and keep your mental act together at the same time. Typical of Hill's writing style, the book is easy to read, and features numerous examples from his real life experience. Specifically, this book covers, among many other things:
   
   Devloping a winning attitude.
   Spotting opportunities.
   Using teamwork.
   Gaining peace of mind.
   
   This book focuses on achieving success through positive relationships and a healthy mental attitude. For more information on achieving financial success, you may want to read "The 17 Principles of Creating Wealth," by Phillip Collinsworth.



4. 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.



5. I am hard pressed to rate any material of Napoleon Hill's negatively as his original works are among the most profound books I have read on personal achievement. The content presented in Napoleon Hill's Positive Action Plan in undeniably worthy advice as would be expected of anything using Hill's thoughts as a basis.
   
   Many of the books now prepared by the Napoleon Hill foundation and presented as if written by Hill himself share the same weakness, as they are mere rewritten accounts and/or summarizations of Hill's thoughts without any new or fresh substance. Unfortunately this book does not rise above this status as it merely summarized 365 pieces of advice presented in other Napoleon Hill books. The entire book is also attainable by signing up for free email quotations from the Napoleon Hill Foundation.
   
   Napoleon Hill's principles are timeless, and thus the summary format in this book is not without value; however, if you are seeking anything more than a refresher, I recommend passing on this book and sticking to the original books actually written by Napoleon Hill himself such as Think and Grow Rich.

5 comments about Your Right To Be Rich.

1. I have the print version of Think and Grow Rich as well as this set of CD's and they nicely complement one another. While much of what is in the CD can be gleaned from the book, it is good to listen to Mr. Hill's lectures to reinforce the material.
   
   That said, I must say I made the mistake of listening to the CD's in the car while commuting to and from work. The angst of driving in Southern California doesn't allow for proper attention to be paid to the material in the recordings. My suggestion is that you find a quiet, isolated place to listen to the CD's and then really focus on what Mr. Hill is saying. He is full of knowledge and is also an entertaining speaker. You will not get bored listening to him! It will be so much more valuable than zoning out watching mindless, worthless television shows.
   
   Much of what he says is really nothing more than common sense but it is helpful to have it all contained in one setting, plus how many of us know what we ought to do but don't do it? I believe if a person truly applies the principles and techniques advocated by Mr. Hill, there is no doubt they will be successful.
   
   The Amazon price for the 9-CD set is well worth it. Just make sure you set yourself up in the proper listening environment, then act on what he says.



2. Mr. Hill has the success system that never fails. This is one of the men that Anthony Robbins copied to build his personal power series. A very good buy.



3. I love this audiobook set. It is helping me understand my business and explode it to the top better than any audiobook I have ever purchased.
   Mr. Hill is definitly the best motivator I have ever listened too. His practical approach to Life as well as Business is amazing. Every household need this book and apply the principles taught in this Audiobook.



4. Absolutely the most amazing lecture series I have ever heard. I have never heard Hill speak but you can just tell he is absolutely committed to his philosophy by being such a shining example of it! He was paid a pittance when he was interviewing the hundreds of successful people that Andrew Carnegie introduced for Hill. It took him around 20 years to get all that data into a systematic philosophy for personal success! Who else would be more qualified to speak on personal success than Hill?!?
   
   This lecture series contains material that is not in Think and Grow Rich and the Keys to Success books. This should be the bible of success for everyone!



5. I listen to this in my iPod - it's a great motivational program!! I don't agree with his views on dating though.

5 comments about Law of Success: The 21st-Century Edition: Revised and Updated.

1. THIS BOOK AT TIMES CAN BE VERY PRACTICAL. IT WILL NOT MAKE YOU RICH OR SUCCESSFUL. ALL ANY BOOK CAN DO IS MOVE YOU TOWARDS ACTION, AND PERHAPS ALTER YOUR THINKING. THATS THE MAIN MESSAGE THIS BOOK TEACHES. YOU HAVE CONTROL OVER ONLY ONE THING AND THAT IS YOUR THOUGHTS. AND SO THE 17 LAWS THIS BOOK PRESENTS ARE 17 WAYS YOU CAN CHANGE YOUR THINKING. ONLY FOR THOSE WHO ARE DOWN TO EARTH AND ARE WILLING TO COMMIT THEMSELVES. UNLIKE OTHER "SELF HELP" BOOKS OUT THERE, I.E. WISHY WASHY CRAP LIKE 'THE SECRET', THIS CAN ACTUALLY HELP STEER YOU IN THE RIGHT DIRECTION. I RECOMMEND IT HIGHLY.



2. It tells how and encourages on how one shouldn't easily give up in life after going through even the last phase of trials.It is living while trying only that you have a guide book to refer to of what you should or shouldn't have done.
   Best read.



3. Great book to read and have for your library. The only thing I don't like about is that it's bound like a school textbook. However, the content compensates that.



4. This is a truly outstanding book. However, if you wish to read ANY of Napolean Hill's work stay away from anything published by Highroads Media. What they did in both Law of Success and Think and Grow Rich is change the text to the way they think it should read. The changes made to both books are obvious and definately change the meaning of the books. Stay away from any work published by these people and opt to find editions that are true to the original text.

1 comments about Think and Grow Rich. Complete Reprint of the 1937 Bestselling Classic. Includes Self Analysis Test & "Fifty Seven Famous Alibis".

1. I guess I was expecting more from a book written more than 60 years ago that supposedly sold millions of copies and was a legend in the sales business. Glad I read it, but struggled through the style. Long, boring references to a bunch of common sense stuff that frankly does not have much relevance in 2008. Oh, well. I guess you get what you pay for, but I don't think I got $4 worth of value from this antiquated look at society, except in historical terms.

5 comments about Succeed and Grow Rich through Persuasion: Revised Edition.

1. I have to admit that I am a confirmed fan of Napolean Hill. I love Think & Grow Rich, have bought many copies and recently added the new and revised hardback to my library.
   
   Succeed and Grow Rich Through Persuasion was one of those books that was collecting dust on my library shelf. I had browsed t his book a couple of times, but never read it completely. In fact, I have been doing that with a lot of my books recently.
   
   The principles in Succeed and Grow Rich are like the principles in Think & Grow Rich. They are timeless. And they work. If you want to master persuasion, read this book.



2. The first batch of significant books that had the greatest influence on me in terms of attaining personal achievement includes mostly Napoleon Hill's books:
   
   - The Law of Success;
   - Think & Grow Rich;
   - The Keys to Success;
   - Success through a Positive Mental Attitude;
   - Succeed & Grow Rich through Persuasion;
   
   The others were from Clement Stone, Dale Carnegie, & Earl Nightingale.
   
   That was the early 70's when I had just started work as a young engineer.
   
   The author, Napoleon Hill, had impressed me most by his relentless dedication in spending some two to three decades of his life in pursuing & researching the success secrets of the rich & famous...with a little help from Andrew Carnegie, of course.
   
   As matter of fact, many of the famous people he interviewed were also favourite role models of mine e.g. Henry Ford, Thomas Edison, Alexander Graham Bell, just to name a few
   
   Till this day, I have never forgotten what he said:
   
   "The most powerful instrument we have in our hands is the power of our mind."
   
   I have never ceased to be fascinated by the simplicity & the potency of his ABCs of personal achievement: CONCEIVE, BELIEVE & ACHIEVE!
   
   It is certainly enlightening to note that even Stephen Covey had drew inspiration from Napoleon Hill's work even though he never made that credit. He only admitted that the
   7 Habits had its origins from "200 years of success literature in the United States." That remark itself is self explanatory.
   
   Anthony Robbin's Mastery program as embodied in his books as well as his audio/video resources is no exception, even though he has been influenced in larger extent by NLP.
   
   If you look at & compare the 17 principles of personal achievement in 'The Law of Success' &/or the 13 Steps to Riches in 'Think & Grow Rich', one can obviously see the uncanny resemblance of the 7 Habits & the Mastery principles...in one way or another.
   
   At this juncture, let me outline the principal theme of each book:
   
   The Law of Success: the original course on the fundamentals of success - all the seventeen essential principles of personal achievement;
   Think & Grow Rich: The seventeen essential principles are reframed & condensed in terms of thirteen concrete steps to wealth creation (in actuality, this is a condensation of the Law of Success);
   The Keys to Success: a further elaboration of the seventeen essential principles with concrete suggestions, exercises & advice;
   Success Through Positive Mental Attitude: joint authorship with Clement Stone, with a further emphasis on developing a positive mental attitude;
   Succeed & Grow Rich Through Persuasion: joint authorship with Clement Stone, with a further emphasis on developing master salesmanship & networking;
   [It is pertinent to note that Clement Stone actually built his insurance business empire with these principles.]
   
   My most productive, personal learning experience from Napoleon Hill's work is the understanding - & application - of his success principle #1: Develop Definiteness of Purpose.
   
   [Very surprisingly, J Y Pillay, former Chairman of Singapore Airlines, - who had been credited for building the airline to what it is today, A GREAT WAY TO FLY! - also credited his work axiom to this same success principle, but he attributed it to an ancient Hindu scripture known as Bhagavad Gita.]
   
   I am certainly gratified to note that Napoleon Hill's work had casted so much influence on - & empowered - so many people in the world, including myself.



3. I'm still in the middle of this book. Some of it is a little silly, and I gleam over those parts in a rush. They are relatively few and far in between, and the wealth of useful knowledge and insight throughout the rest of the book is worth it. I am beginning to apply many of the principles for the first time... its not a magic formula, but it has initiated noticeable progress where before I was stagnating for some time. Its small and easy to carry around to read when you only have one or two minutes available.
   
   The only strange thing about this edition is that authorship is credited to Napoleon Hill, but much of the book speaks of Hill in third person, as if the revising author (who I think is W. Clement Stone) takes liberty to speak on behalf of the original author.



4. you positively must.
   
   Rarely have I ever come across anything as uplifting and inspiring as this book. If you have a dream, whether it be to own your own business, or to help starving children around the world, or simply to have a healthy happy life, the keys to finding and unlocking those things within yourself are contained in this book.



5. As difficult and improbable as it might seem to match the excellence of Think & Grow Rich, Napoleon Hill accomplished the task with this book. If Succeed & Grow Rich Through Persuasion has any weakness, it is that it followed Think & Grow Rich that already introduced us to may of these fine principles.
   
   Napoleon Hill has the astounding ability to communicate success principles in a resounding nature. He uses real world illustrations that provide timeless examples to justify his points. Hill follows his book of principals with a full chapter on motivational epigrams that will leave even the most lethargic of people energized.
   
   Napoleon Hill was a visionary in the self help industry and Succeed & Grow Rich Through Persuasion represents yet another dynamic and fulfilling example of his work. This book easily stands on its own merits yet is also the perfect compliment to Hill's earlier works. I highly recommend this book to all seeking to achieve at any endeavor.

1 comments about The Secret Law of Attraction as Explained By Napoleon Hill.

1. I thought I was familiar with the works of Napoleon Hill and when I saw this I was puzzeled but ecstatic. I purchased the CD set, took it home and found out it was a rehash of his works by Bill Hartley. Save your money. I returned mine because the people who made it are liars. Doesn't say anything about the fact it's a "bastardization" of Napoleon Hill's works. Buy the real, unabridged books by Napoleon Hill.
