Reprint of an outdated mindset around building wealth. Comes off privileged as he talks about his successes. The American Dream doesn't exist in the same ways as when this book was originally published, so updating is necessary. Working harder in this economy just means jobs will take advantage of you making you do the work of several people vs treating you with respect. Unions are being blocked from creation instead of supporting the workers who "helped you make your millions". Seems reviewers are gender divided on their enjoyment of the title, women giving lower reviews as our work is rarely valued to the same level as men. There are better options available, please seek them out.
Thanks NetGalley for the ALC.

This was very dry and boring. I knew this wouldn't be the most exciting since it is a financial text, but I thought the psychology aspect would be interested. This was a lot of old school ideas that don't have relevance in a modern world. Nothing was applicable to modern society and money and the way we live our lives. It was no only boring but also outdated.

Immediately bought this book on Audible so that I could own a copy, it's brilliant and has advice that will keep me regularly coming back to it.

Always love a book on the psychology of wealth, except this one.

First, if you’re a traditionalist who is all God/Country.. this one might be for you. Another good book for Dave Ramsey fans, too.

I found this book wildly outdated with the need to work more to succeed and grow. Not necessarily, go above and beyond definitely, but laboring for free is silly. But I understand we’ve gone the way of layoffs and 0 loyalty from employers since the early 1900s.

Interesting to Hill speak about his successes, meanwhile learning more about his reality he was a fraudster — makes it all more eyeroll inducing.

Thank you to Netgallery and Macmillan Audio for an advanced copy of this audiobook in exchange for my honest review.

This book is different than I expected. Several of the principles and tenets of this book are sound, such as having a positive mental attitude and going the extra mile. The tone of the overall book really detracted from the content for me. Provided this book was written ages ago, I can get past the overly pedantic language. What was hard for me to get past in this book were all the references to manifest destiny, "the American dream," and references to the "founding fathers." I also had a difficult time stomaching the content related to a woman's role. Overall, this book was not for me. I can appreciate the general themes for what they provide, however, it felt very antiquated.

This book may be for someone who subscribes to these concepts (i.e., "founding fathers"). Or, it may be for someone who is better at setting aside controversial concepts in order to glean the overall message.
