Success Through A Positive Mental Attitude Paperback – April 23, 2013

Good book. I'm still a failure but my attitude is more positive. Ha ha.

Hi,I read this book when I was in seventh grade (before I knew it was a self-help book), this is where I learned about my fellow man, God, hard work, morals. So I have a Kindle and decided to read this again... only 30-years later. It was great to re-visit an old friend. It was great to get in touch with my sub-conscious, which showed me that I got a lot of my thoughts that I still live by today from Napoleon Hill and W. Clement Stone and this book. It still stands up today along with Dale Carnegie's How To Win Friends and Influence People.These books have meaning because they are light and to the point. Not like today's books, claiming to have something new to offer. There is nothing new that needs to be offered. The good old adage of treating people the right way, that's all that needs to be learned. I flat out highly recommend this book!

One of the best books written! I have bought this book twice to give to a friend of mine who needed a better outlook on life. I highly recommend. Please take your time to read it and underline important key facts. You will not be disappointed!

I have most of Napoleon Hills books. Easy to read and understand. He gives the simple steps to make the process work. I have had success and used his formula for years. I wanted this book for my library. Cant wait to read! I have given his books to my children and they use his plan as well in their lives. Successful outcomes for your desires.

SUCCESS THROUGH A POSITIVE MENTAL ATTITUDE is simply the very best book that I've ever read on personal and professional self development. This is a classic book and should be in every achiever's library. It's a distillation of all the great principles of higher achievement in one easy access reference book that is cram packed with positive ideas that will lift your thought process to a higher vibrational level. Thoughts, ideas, and action are what make up the sum total of an individuals life. The 17 principles as outlined in this book have helped me to focus my "attention on the things that I want and off the things that I don't want." Thought control is the ultimate discipline...and this book shows the student exactly how to "direct your thoughts, control your emotions, and ordain your destiny!" The authors discovered the secrets to success after interviews with over 500 men and women of accomplishment and than gave those principles to future generations to access in this powerful book. Take advantage of this book and I mean really become a student of this material, and if you APPLY what you learn you will have a new life!The origin of this book is fascinating and dates back to Andrew Carnegie's meeting in 1908 with Napoleon Hill and Carnegie's subsequent sponsorhip of the young Napoleon Hill to write a thesis on American Achievement....Carnegie then introduced Napoleon Hill to Henry Ford, Thomas Edison and many other individuals of accomplishment as the young author catalogued the elements and principles that these great American achievers used to accomplish so much. His first great work LAW OF SUCCESS was published in 1926 and then in 1937 THINK AND GROW RICH was published while Hill was an advisor to then President Franklin Delano Roosevelt, and both books were considered instant classics in the self development field.W. Clement Stone read THINK AND GROW RICH in 1937 the year that it was published and was so impressed with the principles that he applied them with vigor and built (with an initial investment of $100.00!) the Combined Registry Insurance Company which later became AON Insurance Company. Aon was built by W. Clement Stone and his team and became one of the greatest insurance companies in the world. You will see the AON skyscrapers in Hong Kong, Chicago, and many great cities. W. Clement Stone was listed on the Forbes 400 and attributed his success to the principles he applied from THINK AND GROW RICH. Now that's a fantastic story of what can happen when these principles are applied consistently and aggressively.In the early 50's Stone went to hear Napoleon Hill speak in Chicago and they instantly hit it off and worked together for years thereafter helping others to achieve their dreams. They taught the PMA Science of Success Course, went to prisons, held seminars, went on T.V. and radio, and passionately communicated the 17 HABITS of high achievers and brought this message to all that wanted a better life. This book adds to what was so brilliantly layed out in the books LAW OF SUCCESS and THINK AND GROW RICH and combines additional principles like the COSMIC HABIT FORCE and PMA. These 17 principles are just pure magic if applied with continuous action. I read the book often as a kind of mental vitamin and it helps me to keep my attitude tuned up. I highly recommend this book as you can well see. Read it with an open mind and re-read it to keep the principles fresh. Memorize the self motivators, and the 17 principles and keep at it. Great events will come to pass if you persist, and remember that ANYTHING THE HUMAN MIND CAN CONCIEVE AND BELIEVE THE HUMAND MIND CAN ACHIEVE WITH A POSTIVE MENTAL ATTITUDE. Onward and Upward! All the best, Gerald Chamales

I think this is a very good book . If you feel that life has dealt you a bad hand, if you feel you are entitled, if you see your cup a s always half empty rather than half full then read this book. Things will happen to you some good and some bad. Question is how will u react? Will u have a positive attitude and make the best of every situation or go into despair and blame your bad luck.Attitude is the key. However attitude must be combined with swift action. Life comes at you fast. If you don't make corrections to your course you will almost definitely end up where u do not want to be. Help yourself and help others. I plan to read this book at least one more time. Very encouraging.

Make no mistake about it, reading and following the principles of Success Through A Positive Mental Attitude will help individuals in all walks of life achieve their goals. For instance, former heavyweight boxing champion and International Boxing Hall of Famer Ken Norton kept this book at hand on the road to becoming a world champion. Norton also took a complete course by Napoleon Hill on gaining wealth and peace of mind. "It can be related to anybody, to be the best in a career, to think positive," said Norton. Here's a book you can keep in your house along with your Bible. No matter what your situation, the study of both will help you.Success Through A Positive Mental Attitude is a great companion book to Think and Grow Rich, also by Napoleon Hill and credited for Norton's great success in the ring. Norton's victory over "The Greatest," Muhammad Ali in 1973 is a great illustration of how one can defy great odds, achieve their goals and reach their fullest potential using the principles contained in Think and Grow Rich, a book that Norton attributes as being very inspirational for him on the road to becoming the second man to defeat Ali. Norton received the Napoleon Hill Award for positive thinking in 1973.P.S. Success Through a Positive Mental Attitude includes the following testimonial from the Rev. Robert H. Schuller on the inside front cover page of the 1991 edition: "Success Through A Positive Mental Attitude is one of the ten books that has most impacted my faith and my philosophy...no person's education is complete without the concepts articulated in it so wisely and so well."

Wow a very educational read so much inspiration and knowledge in one book that has opened up my mind to a whole new way of think. If like me you are feeling lost and in a place where you don't know where to turn and want to make some positive decisions in your life then this is definitely the book for you. Although I'm not sure if I have seen everything the author write I will read it over and over again until I fully understand every meaning.
