25 Insightful Quotes from Think and Grow Rich by Napoleon Hill

Before walking into a store and buying a book to read especially when it comes to Self-Help ones, I habitually do this one thing. I go online and check the recommendations and reviews and make my decision accordingly.

In my defense, there are so many awe-inspiring books out there which makes it hard to settle on a specific one. If it is so for me, I am sure you guys too need help with such a decision.

When it comes to self-improvement books, one of the top referred book is the one written by Napoleon Hill – THINK AND GROW RICH. Having read too many books on self-help and inspiration, I would say this one is definitely worth the read and it will certainly make you THINK.
