   I had to choose a book for a report in college. The book had to be something that would help us in our lives and has to do with the psychology class I am taking. After reaading this book, it was so incredible, that I have used the information in my life and have already seen such a happy change in my own life. It helped me in my business and in my personal relationships. It is set up to do this by following the ten steps to practice for the rest of your life. It is easy reading and it is so easy to get started changing your life also. I highly recommend this book for any person that is interested in improving their relationships through a self-help book. It is all about Positive Menatal Attitude which will come back to you in many good ways. It has for me! Read this book and you have nothing to lose, just many great things to gain. I am very happy now and see the world in a whole different way! Thank You!

   This book presents the 10 steps to success by Napoleon Hill, which are:

   1. Take possession of your own mind with conviction
   
   2. Keep your mind on the things you want and off the things you don’t want
   
   3. Live the golden rule
   
   4. Eliminate all negative thoughts by self-inspection
   
   5. Be happy! Make others happy!
   
   6. Form a habit of tolerance
   
   7. Give yourself positive suggestions
   
   8. Use your power of prayer
   
   9. Set goals
   
   10. Study, think and plan daily

   The book includes simple self-tests that determine if you are coming from a positive mental attitude, a negative attitude or a lazy attitude. Short exercises encourage you to write down beliefs, goals, desires, but don’t go much further than that.

   The book seems superficial and the few personal anecdotes were uninspiring. The cover art says, “From the bestselling author of Think and Grow Rich! so I thought this book was by Napoleon Hill, but it isn’t.

   If you’re looking for a short, easy-to-read book to remind you of steps to success, this will do the trick. Otherwise, go directly to the source and get Napoleon Hill’s Keys to Success: The 17 Principles of Personal Achievement instead. Also of interest are Napoleon Hill’s The Think and Grow Rich Action Pack and Vernon Howard’s The Mystic Path to Cosmic Power.

   “Whatever the mind can conceive and believe, it can achieve.” ~ Napoleon Hill

   Michael J. Ritt worked with Napoleon Hill for almost twenty years. He also has observed the life of W. Clement Stone, a man who lived what Napoleon Hill taught. In the first half of this book there are ten steps that lead you to a more positive life. In the second half Michael J. Ritt shows how the steps work in real life.

   Negative thinking can become a bad habit while positive thinking helps you to form new good habits. Perhaps you feel that you are constantly in a battle between being pessimistic and optimistic and you want to gain control of your emotions. While this book is light reading it can help you to change course and also analyze how you are currently thinking.

   If you are struggling with negative thoughts and want to gain control of your mind then the tips in this book could be useful to you. If you have ever been accused of being a Pollyanna then this book will feel comfortable and familiar. You may already look for good in negative experiences.

   There are a few ideas about visualization but Michael J. Ritt also suggests that you pray for what you want to accomplish. I think this is great advice as it has worked in my life. I’m not as interested in asking the “Universe” for what I want because I’ve seen better results in praying to God. That doesn’t mean you will always get what you want but you can always feel that you got an answer even if the answer is “no.”

   For those familiar with Napoleon Hill’s most famous works, Ritt’s retread will be a cheerless disappointment. The principles presented are weighty as would be expected from Napoleon Hill; however the overall book lacks any fresh content or insightful techniques to reaffirm the material.

   I am generally not well suited to be such a harsh critique of any material, yet I believe this particular book offers only an uninspired presentation of Napoleon Hill’s principles. The quality of this work is what might be expected from a student summarizing the principles rather than a marketable book attached to the Hill legacy. As I doubt Napoleon Hill himself would advocate this particular book, I highly recommend avoiding this and instead finding true inspiration and guidance among Napoleon Hill’s original works; works that I credit for significant influence in my life.

   I highly urge anyone considering self help books of this nature to read the original works from Napoleon Hill, particular “Think and Grow Rich” found here: http://www.amazon.com/review/R3CYTD5IRGGI9I/ref=cm_cr_rdp_perm
