Success Through a Positive Mental Attitude

by Napoleon Hill and W. Clement Stone

Hill's late collaboration with insurance magnate Stone: the PMA talisman, seventeen success principles, and page after page of salesmen's stories. It is the most practical of the Hill books because Stone insisted on action steps at the end of every chapter.

Read it if…

you like Hill but want someone to make him specific.

Skip it if…

the relentless positivity grates; it is the whole premise.

Three things you will actually use

  1. Attitude is the one variable always under your control.
  2. Every adversity carries the seed of an equivalent benefit.
  3. Do it now.

Do this first

Do the 'self-motivator' exercise: pick one phrase and repeat it at every setback for a week.

Our verdict

Hill, made specific by Stone.
