Think and Grow Rich 21st Century Edition by  Napoleon Hill -UnabridgedI have read the original version a few years ago, but the distance and time between when Dr.Hill wrote the book and our generation of 2000’s made some of his concepts misunderstood or not completely understood. I am fascinated with this version’s extensive commentary which is like a mentor explaining in modern terms Dr. Hill’s concepts. This is like a modern version of this business bible, none of the original ideas or concepts is lost in this version.Brand New: Unabridged Still shrink wrapped 11 hours 9 CDs Napoleon Hill’s classic Think and Grow Rich has sold more than 60 million copies worldwide. It revolutionized the whole concept of self-help writing and to this day remains the standard against which all other motivational literature is measured. This classic of classics on the subject of personal achievement has helped literally millions of people to lead richer, fuller lives. It is said that Napoleon Hill has made more millionaires and inspired more successes than any other person in history. The hallmark of the original edition of Think and Grow Rich was that in every chapter Napoleon Hill cited real-life examples based on his first-hand knowledge of 500 of America’s most successful self-made businessmen. This audiobook of Think and Grow Rich: The 21st Century Edition features the complete text of the original edition, including every one of Napoleon Hill’s stories, and carefully integrates into each chapter contemporary examples and commentary. For example, in the original Hill tells how Asa Candler took a country doctor’s recipe and turned it into the Coca-Cola phenomenon. This new audiobook edition not only tells the Asa Candler story, but it adds the stories of Debbie Fields and Mrs. Fields Cookies, Howard Schultz and Starbucks, and how Paul Newman launched Newman’s Own brand products. These modern parallels clearly demonstrate that Hill’s principles are as up-to-date as today, and still guiding those who succeed. Motivation and Modern Management The 21st-Century Edition also correlates the latest management theories with Hill’s Principles of Success, and cross-references his Success Consciousness techniques with today’s motivational bestsellers. It clearly demonstrates that Napoleon Hill’s classic anticipated concepts as contemporary as Emotional Intelligence and Creative Visualization, and that the methods taught by superstars such as Tony Robbins and Steven Covey are perfectly aligned with his philosophy of personal achievement. Napoleon Hill got the answers to those questions firsthand from over 500 of America’s most successful self-made businessmen. Though born into poverty himself, Napoleon Hill became the protege of steel baron Andrew Carnegie who introduced him to the most famous self-made multi-millionaires who personally revealed to Hill the secrets they had used to pull themselves out of poverty and create their own success. Hill was welcomed into their businesses and homes, he interviewed them for long periods, studied their habits, analyzed their methods, and learned the secrets of their success. For almost thirty years Napoleon Hill collaborated with America’s most creative and successful entrepreneurs, inventors, businessmen, industrialists, and political leaders, learning first-hand why they succeeded while others failed. Hill devoted those years to researching and proving his theories, then refined them into thirteen powerful principles that can be used by anyone to create their own success and realize their dreams. This audio editon of the undated Think and Grow Rich clearly spells out Hill’s thirteen principles of success using real examples from his inside knowledge of the rich and powerful. It reveals the principles behind each success, and shows how you too can take the techniques and make them your own. When you know this—and it tells you step-by-step what to do and how to do it—you will have the blueprint to your personal, professional, and financial success. Much more than a self-improvement audiobook, Think and Grow Rich: The 21st Century Edition offers you a complete philosophy of personal achievement. It will teach you methods to create success consciousness within yourself, and it will provide you with a detailed blueprint for achieving that success. Think and Grow Rich: The 21st-Century Edition is an audiobook that will not just change what you think, it will change the way you think. About  the Author Napoleon Hill(from Wikipedi) Napoleon Hill (October 26 1883–November 8 1970) was an American author who was one of the earliest producers of the modern genre of personal-success literature. His most famous work, Think and Grow Rich, is one of the best-selling books of all time. Dr. Hill received an honorary doctorate in English Literature.According to his official biographer, Hill was born into poverty in a two-room cabin in the town of Pound in rural Wise County, Virginia. His mother died when he was ten years old. His father remarried two years later.At the age of thirteen he began writing as a “mountain reporter” for small-town newspapers. He used his earnings as a reporter to enter law school, but soon had to withdraw for financial reasons. The turning point in his career is considered to have been in 1908 with his assignment, as part of a series of biographies of famous men, to interview industrialist Andrew Carnegie, who at the time was one of the richest men in the world. Hill discovered that Carnegie believed that the process of success could be elaborated in a simple formula that could be duplicated by the average person. Impressed with Hill, Carnegie commissioned him (without pay and only offering to provide him with letters of reference) to interview over 500 successful men and women, many of them millionaires, in order to discover and publish this formula for success.As part of his research, Hill interviewed many of the most famous people of the time, including Thomas Edison, Alexander Graham Bell, George Eastman, Henry Ford, Elmer Gates, John D. Rockefeller, Charles M. Schwab, F.W. Woolworth, William Wrigley Jr., John Wanamaker, William Jennings Bryan, Theodore Roosevelt, William H. Taft, Woodrow Wilson, and Jennings Randolph. The project lasted over twenty years, during which Hill became an advisor to Carnegie. The formula for rags-to-riches success that Hill and Carnegie formulated was published initially in 1928 in his book The Law of Success. The formula was later published in home-study courses, including the seventeen-volume “Mental Dynamite” series until 1941.From 1919 to 1920 Hill was the editor and publisher of Hill’s Golden Rule magazine. In 1930 he published The Ladder to Success. From 1933 to 1936 Hill was an advisor to President Franklin Roosevelt.In 1937 Hill elaborated this success formula in his most famous work, Think and Grow Rich, which is still in print and has sold over thirty million copies.In 1939 he published How to Sell Your Way through Life, and in 1953 How to Raise Your Own Salary. From 1952 to 1962 he worked with W. Clement Stone of the Combined Insurance Company of America to teach Stone’s “Philosophy of Personal Achievement”, and to lecture on the “Science of Success”. Partly as a result of his work with Stone, in 1960 he published Success Through a Positive Mental Attitude. He died in 1970 in South Carolina, and in 1971 his final work, You Can Work Your Own Miracles, was published posthumously. enjoy this great Audio program
