‘Think & Grow Rich’ by Napoleon Hill - A Review

Every once in a rare while, a reader enjoys the opportunity to sit down with a book that makes a genuine impact.  For better or for worse, the author has reached out and made a difference.  Sometimes such a book is found in the works of science fiction, or sometimes it will be found in the autobiographies of great men and women in history.  Or sometimes, it can even be found in a body of research.

The work published as ’Think and Grow Rich’ by Napoleon Hill is one such book for me.  As with so many books found on my shelves, it came to me on the strength of a good friends suggestion and I’m glad that it did.  Having read it really has improved my overall quality of life.  Which to me is a sure sign of time well invested.

The language is straightforward and easy for anyone to understand.  The message that is driven home through the pages is absolute and shared with a passion.  If you’re tired of where your life is right now and are ready to change it, reading this book is a great place to begin.  Then, once you’ve read it, re-read it and do it!  By taking a few suggestions from this book I have already seen an improvement in my business and personal affairs.

‘Think & Grow Rich’ will have a place in my old fashioned print library for many years to come, will it have a place in yours?

The Ultimate Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy by Douglas Adams - In Review

The Ultimate Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy

Lovingly referred to as ‘The Guide’ by more than a few people, this story has captured the interest of countless people over several decades and has been told in radio broadcasts, on LP’s, in a BBC series, as a book and just about every other way you can imagine it may have been shared.  Including a Hollywood production which does the story very little justice but they only get so much time and it’s a lot of story for such a little book.  In each version the story is just a little bit different leaving true fanatics lots of room for healthy debate.  In this writers opinion, the collection of works that completes ‘The Guide’ is perhaps one of the most amazing works since Homers times.  Seriously.

What started off as a short story about an otherwise ordinary Thursday in nice stretch of West Country farmland turned into a ‘trilogy’ in some five or six parts with plot twists and turns that will leave you giggling while wiping tears away with your favorite towel.  Douglas Adams takes the reader on a freefalling journey through space and time in this insanely genius work of creativity.

No matter if you prefer to stumble blindly through the Universe like Arthur Dent, go with the flow like Ford Prefect or are just looking for the next great Pan-Galactic Gargle Blaster with Zaphod Beeblebrox … this story has a character that anyone can relate to.

Ever wonder how the Earth was made?  The Hitchhikers Guide has a theory for that.
Ever wonder about where we came from?  There’s a bit about that too.
Perhaps you’re just a little curious as to Gods final message to the Universe,
or you might like to learn more about Wonko the Sane and ’The Asylum’.


Even if you just stop by for some fine dining at the Restaurant at the End of the Universe you’re bound to enjoy the time spent with this outrageous little read.  Join with countless others and learn for yourself the answer to Life, The Universe and Everything.  So Long & Thanks For All The Fish!  I hope this review was helpful and still Mostly Harmless to the actually storyline!
