In this best-seller, Napoleon Hill condensed his formula for success which he managed to learn from his research of over two decades.

For this very reason, Think & Grow Rich has continued to be an influence in the mastery of the law of attraction.

3. Recognizing opportunity whenever and wherever it appears.
4. Instilling the persistence to not give up easily.
