  • Look.

    I have read 3 of Hills books. His secrete is simple.

    Become a salesperson, use PMA to sell lots of your product, spend rest of life counting cash.

    Hill has many sound propersitions, BUT in his 'success through a positive mental attitude' more than 90% of the books perspective is based on salesmanship.

  • Is the secret like having a clear image in your brain of exactly how you want to be/ feel/ act?

  • @FlavourLikeIceCream There are many methods to achieving your goals. The question is what works best for you. For example, the scientist Nichola Tesla who discovered the alternating current of electricity coming into your home right now used to sit down and imagine his invention and then build it exactly as he saw it in his mind. This may not work for people who prefer writing things down drawing plans etc.

  • Just read all 99 comments - thanks everyone. I found a well-read audiobook at iTunes:

    The Law of Success: From the Master Mind to the Golden Rule (In Sixteen Lessons) (Unabridged) $14.99 Three parts = 24-hours & 20-minutes long . I searched after seeing Joe's video here - thanks buddy. I've read TAGR well over fifty times during last 22 years and CAN'T say I've found success regarding wealth/career.

    I'm missing Master Mind friends and real increasing income. Someone help me!

  • @videoloverboy You have read the book many times, but have you APPLIED the principles, especially thos in Chapter 2 on ' Desire ' ?

  • And how do you know this, Joe?

  • You didn't understand Think and Grow Rich. There is no "blueprint" for success. If there were a blueprint then more people would be successful. Think and Grow Rich is about developing the mindset required for success. Without the mindset you can't utilize your true potential and all the blueprints in the world won't help.

  • in the original version there is the secret.

  • @ztarrfect You have read the book many times, but have you APPLIED the principles, especially thos in Chapter 2 on ' Desire ' ?

  • After reading Think and Grow Rich many time over the years my take on Think and Grow rich is this: Clarity of your goal is so important. Decide what it is you want, develop a plan to obtain it, go to work on that plan with MASSIVE ACTION and a passionate, driving, burning Obsession to accomplish that which you seek. Persist until you have accomplished your goal no matter what obstacles arise. Allow no persons opinion, no influence to dwell in your being that does not harmonize with your Purpose.

  • I've got those 2 books and several more. all of them are great books great info.

  • Thanks for sharing this with us.

  • nonsense!!!!!hw can ne 1 question the work of that man who had devoted his entire life in studying success?????btw the secret mentioned is the "ability to feel oneself already in possession of the material object you are demanding" which has been clearly demonstrated in tagr and los both.........

  • Why the older versions are more thicker. The first one (Turkish) I had printed in 2007 and I bought a second copy because I teared the first one apart and wanted to keep working with the book. Anyway, these copies printed in my country are 230+ pages. And there's new version on the Amazon - Restored & Revised Original Version which is 400+ pages.

    I'd be appreciate if someone tells me what's the differences of the long version.

    Thanks...

  • @KeremGo you have to have old version not the new.

  • Point well taken. It is something of an intro to "Laws of Success." However, the "secret" is a burning desire. If you have that, you'll find the rest.

    The most important idea is "money likes speed."Arguably, this has nothing to do with "Think and Grow Rich." After all, Hill spent 29 years researching this timeless classic. One cannot accuse him of blinding speed.

    A burning desire comports with speed. And speed means action. And that begets money even if you do "think and grow rich."

  • If you like this take a look at the video on my page, let me know what you think, thanks

  • The book "The Laws of Success" was written by Napoleon Hill, prior to "Think and Grow Rich." In The laws of Success, he mentions "The law of attraction." There is a rumor of Henry Ford leading the way to have TLOS removed from public. The reason being, power to the people = loss of personal power. In summary, "The law of success" was taken off the bookshelves in that time and "Think and Grow Rich" was put out instead. btw, you can get both books now. :P----Henry Ford

  • Law of success is an expanded version of think and grow rich

  • He's the man

  • Napoleon Hill's new book "Outwitting the Devil" contains the true secret to success. Amazing it was kept under wraps for over 70 years before being published.

  • Yes the secret is in this book. It just isnt named as Law of Attraction. And the mastermind group isnt a bunch of people ( as I first thought), it is your higher self/source energy which he is talking about. If you dont understand this book, read Ask and It Is Given by Abraham-Hicks. This will help you understand Think and Grow Rich easier. It helped me once I knew the LOA through studying Abraham-Hicks material..

  • Here is "the secret": HARD WORK.

    Think and take action!!! That's the part that's missing. You can sit around and think all you want it's not going to make anything happen unless you act on it and work your butt off.

  • Mr. Joe , I agree that "Laws of success" is a great book. But TGR contains the SECRET.

    The secret comes in two parts.

    First part of the secret

    Hill says it in the very first sentence of the first chapter i.e "TRULY, THOUGHTS ARE THINGS AND POWERFUL THINGS... Another part is already in possession of those who are READY for it. Hill says in chapter 2 " NO ONE IS READY FOR A THING, UNTIL HE BELIEVES HE CAN ACQUIRE IT. THE STATE OF MIND MUST BE BELIEF, NOT MERE HOPE OR WISH. ......

  • @successfulakash have you earned money thanks to the secret? Trust me, I believe it is true, but it would be useful to know some success stories...

  • ACTION

  • Mr VItale, I have never seen a man wear a double stran of beads like that. Interesting.

  • Thank you So Much!! I have a copy of the book, and I'd like you to sign it!

    -Armando Rocha

  • Joe, the Secret is in the book and I discovered it around 2am in 1996 while in my college dorm room listening it to audio.Hill even states that the secret is more powerful if it is uncovered on your own. The "secret" he said is touched upon on every chapter of the book, and the secret is on the TITLE of the book, "Think".Thoughts are things and are like magnets. What we think about we become or don't become. He later said that this was the secret in the last chapter of Magic Key to Riches.

  • Vitale is absolutely correct...I have read T&GR 5 times plus several chapters X 10-20...

    I recently came across the 1928 print of the Laws of Success and I can guarantee you, its THE JUICE

  • well napoleon hill himself said that the secret is not directly named and that you have to find it for yourself and that this book is only a way to open your mind to it. "if you are ready to put it to use you will recognize this secret..."

  • very well said mr vitale. u r 100 % right. the real book to read is the laws of success. i have read it, and implementing it has suddenly improved my outlook and behaviour in such a way that my income has increased 50 % in 6 months. especially the chapter on self control.

  • i sell his books at ( New Shop Spot dot com ) but i will read those other books.

  • I've heard that "Think and Grow Rich" is a watered version of "The Laws of Success" because the super-rich of that time wanted to keep those secrets for themselves and did not want them to be over-exposed to the common people.

  • Law of attraction and the ideas proclaimed in TGR are the same ideas. Check my channel for the song "The Perfect Law" rap song about the secret

  • I am currently reading the original 1925 "The Law of Success" version and was surprised to see "law of attraction" stated a few times already.

  • @BryanKalentek how did you get the book "the laws of success"?? Do you have an e-book?Can you please send me the link!

  • Thanks for the info Dr. Vitale. Very helpful.

  • thks joe , i dont usualy comment, but you gave us this video only with the purpose

    of helping. blessing for you and family.

  • ive read/listened both books 8 times. + Psycho Cybernetics 4x and many others, kinda obsessed.

  • The secret which Napoleon Hill speaks of is in the book Think and Grow Rich, I have read it over thirty times and the secret is there, Hill gives you a great clue...

  • Desire is the secret....so desire for money

  • Let me clear something up on my last comment. The Law Of Success In 16 Lessons which was printed in 1928 is an edited down version of the Law Of Success from 1925. The one I'm selling is from 1925. This is the raw, unedited version. The 1925 Law Of Success was never published, it was only printed up in manuscripts and given to people like John Rockefeller, Henry Ford, Thomas Edison, etc. I'm selling the content of those original manuscripts. Go to my page to check it out for yourself.

  • Oh my! He has one of the original Think & Grow Rich books.

    Some of you may have never heard of Napoleon Hill's original work called: The Law Of Success. I'm selling the original Law Of Success. Go to my page to check that out. The Law of Success is WAY more power than Think & Grow Rich.

  • thanks dr.Vitale for ZeroLimits,wonderful

    thanks Ao Akua,i love you

  • thank you joe!

  • Thanks Joe, I did read this book a couple of times and was searching for something I didn't know really what. I was thinking about buying the law of success in sixteen lessons and now you confirm that i should do so. I will just do that.

  • Joe Vitale's amazing, check out his videos collection at money2freedom(.com)

    These guys are the true leaders of this planet.

  • Thank you for this very useful message. 

  • Esther Hicks is much better.

  • Thanks for this great advice! :D

  • read TGR when i was twenty. i had no job,girlfriend house anything.

    i'm 25 now i drive a brand new jaguar, i have two beautiful houses and a gorgeous girlfriend who i am soon to propose to..

    this book should be read in every school

  • i had that book! I just gave it to a second hand store last week. shucks

  • love joe 

  • the secret IS in the book. It's obvious when you read it a few times. The 'secret' is ACTION. That if you take action then things happen.

    Read it again and tell me if you agree. This is what I took it to be anyway.

  • @8technical this is NOT (hold on) the secret for everyone, the secret is not named and not directly revered to, BECAUSE everyone has to find his own mind of success his own way to walk. i have made myself a good quote for this: while everyone is standing in front of the river, waiting for it to dry out someday, some people say "fuck it! i swim!" and these are the people who win. - david

  • How can someone dislike this?

  • I am reading the laws of success right now and it is some really good stuff. Its really long though.

  • I have thought about this for a very long time - I understand the value for a lot of people that lies in this book - and the Law of Success -that Napoleon Hill wrote - but the wealthiest person so far in the world has been and still is based on how much money he had in relationship to the Gross National Product of the United States at the time - was John D. Rockefeller - even Carnegie who introduced the contents of this book to Napoleon Hill never had this book - what did these two use?

  • Dr. Joe Vitale is amazing!

  • Hill interviewed 500 of the most successful people at that time....................

  • awesome, I have a 1961 edition in hardback, I have seen miracles in my life since learning his teaching.................

  • Great point Joe. As good as TAGR was The Laws Of Success was even more impressive and helped me to become more successful.

    Thanks for sharing your wisdom.

  • EVERYONE, he does use the term "law of attraction", when he's talking about how salesman use their sex energy, TO attract people to buy their products.

  • @geniusoftheworld Who cares if he uses the term or not. At best it's a difficult read. Much better and clearer current material is available.

  • omg this is exactly what i needed to see. I just ordered the book 'Laws of Success in 16 lessons' when I found out that that was actually his main work after having read 'think and grow rich' 4 times and took notes as well. Thanks Joe

  • thank you..

  • think and grow rich a sales letter? no secret? hahahaha! also, hill does NOT mention the law of attraction in think and grow rich.

  • Read the UPDATE in description area for further details about LOA in TGR.

  • @JoeMrFire Obviously there's a lot of people that haven't actually "read" this book... I'm not just saying read it, but to understand it... After doing so people won't have to question if there is a secret of success or law of attraction implication. After all, people don't just splurt out secrets to their exact detail. That's why it's called a secret!

  • Joe Vitale is wrong on this one or should I say his perception Think and Grow Rich is a sales letter is a joke...anyone who read this book over many uears will know, it is no sales letter and most certainly the secret which Hill refers to is contained in the book and in fact he gives a very clear clue in the early pages, yet it took me years to figure out what it was, it is there...

  • @unlocknaim what is it?

  • @unlocknaim Well what is it??

  • @unlocknaim 100% agree

  • @phlppnc You are right, he Alludes to it,. 

  • @phlppnc he never said the words 'law of attraction' but he related a shit load of times to the universal laws....  Esther and Jerry hicks simply made it more commericalised and 'cool' and cahsed in on it...

  • @phlppnc But he does mention it, by name, verbatim, in the 1928 manuscript that few people have =)

    Napoleon Hill possibly coined that phrase since the manuscript was finished at least pre 1925

  • @phlppnc Napoleon Hill dint directly write abt Law attraction in Think and grow Rich but chapter 1 : Desire

    Chapter 3: Faith

    Chapter 4: Auto Suggestion and

    Chapter 6: Imagination speak abt power of thoughts which is indirectly Law of attraction. The book "THE SECRET" is all abt law of attraction but Law of attraction is just a part of Think and grow rich.Napoleon Hill wrote things beyond law of attraction. not convinced ? Read think and grow rich again!

  • Thank you Joe, your a true gentleman!

  • Thanks Joe.

    I agree. Laws of Success is the "juice".

  • Thank you for the info.

  • The bible is the most popular book in the world and the most sold in the world every year. Think and grow rich is a form of self worship circumvents the only salvation and redemption that is given to man through repentance from sin and faith toward the Lord Jesus Christ. The devils hand book of self redemption. Every knee shall bow to Christ Jesus even you.

  • @tjg2008 Hey TJG, I want you to think on this. There are two different extremes, the self-debasing community and the self-absorbed one. I personally believe that one should take these wonderful success principles to heart and use them while also at the same time not forsaking the Maker's love and guidance. There is a middle ground which I believe we were meant to tread. We have free will but we also have to realize that we can err. Go out there and succeed but dont forsake the Maker either.

  • Think And Grow Rich is easier to assimilate, and by no means is a sales letter. When I see people like this I can't help to say: The only people whose words I trust nowadays are those of Bob Proctor, Richard Bandler, and Ross Jeffries. No Quarrel with you Mr Vitale.

  • @Sebastian1633 Yes BoB pROCTOR.

  • @Sebastian1633

    I have to say I actually agree with Joe here.

    I've read both books more then 20 times each, and found out that the book "Think and grow rich" is just a compendium of "the laws of success", which describes Hill's principles.

  • I think their is a secret in the pages of this book and that secret is "DESIRE", .People who make money have a Subconscious conviction ie DESIRE to do so they have convinced their Subconscious through this Mechanism of DESIRE that they will be wealthy and once the Subconscious believes it manifestation begins

  • Where does Napoleon Hill use the expression "Law Of Attraction" in the book "Think And Grow Rich".? I cannot find it in there either in my own copy or using Amazon's "Look Inside" feature.

  • Read the UPDATE in description area for further details about LOA in TGR.

  • @robert2957 He alludes to it through the whole book.

  • @robert2957 Its only in the earlier manuscript.... Believe me, its there, and its an absolutely different book than THink And Grow Rich,

  • @robert2957 he's termed the law of attraction as auto-suggestion. and if you want to really read where he mentions the law of attraction then download laws of success.

  • Think and Grow Rich is more easier to understand.

  • Dr Vitale is a hypnotist, notice the way he raises his voice on different words. great sales man, arguably the greatest.

  • am not so sure, cos there is many people that have read think grow rich and became successful probably without reading hills other books. But i aint going to argue with Joe cos i think u gota keep learning

  • Thank you very much, Joe.

  • Great review and perspective, Joe. I find that a great many people who love and recommend TAGR have actually never read -- or even discovered -- "The Laws of Success", the larger work on which TAGR is based.

    Incidentally -- and just as an aside -- I cannot find where Hill ever used the term "law of attraction" in any of his works. I know there are several edited versions of his book available so it's possible it's just not in any of mine.

  • you can read it for free online just google:

    Napoleon Hill laws of success

  • @BennyBeckman  I tried google it but came out empty

  • Google it in the books area. Here's the url to Google Book search books.google.com 

  • Dr Vitale is correct with mentioning the "Laws of Success" (2 books). A lot more information about attracting success in all categories. Here is a comment:

    Let us keep in mind the fact that all success is based upon power, and power grows out of knowledge, that has been organized and expressed in terms of ACTION.

    As DR Vitale says "The Universe likes Speed", (take action)!

  • Your the man Joe! love you! Thank you!
