The last time I read it was about six months ago, technically I rather listened to it via mp3. Prior to that was in 1999 or 2000, then I actually read it. The most difficult part was to commit on to a few somethings in a list suggested by the book. Few times I failed to realize those which I listed, which brought me into a bit of depression, and eventual disregard of the book.
Now the excitement is coming back. Somehow feeling regretful of not continuing my pursuance in wealth accumulation. Why I continually let myself be dragged into the belief that the book isn’t true? Partly because my employments have been steadily supporting our living expenses and my compensation is gradually increasing without applying the principles in the book, made me complaisant in consciously putting much effort… causing me not to be as wealthy as I would like to be.
But it’s not late, as Napoleon Hill reiterated, simply follow the formula narrated in his book. And I am now, starting in opting to think positive thoughts, with appropriate feeling of realization, and gratitude towards God. I believe my wife and I could make a BIG BANG come 2010.
There are a lot of principles to be followed, but starting it right, with my thoughts, I believe would be a sure victory.
I am glad you’re back into Mr. Hill.
This is the place to get everything you need to become a great success.
But take my advice here – if you wish – can – want.
Do not “listen” to it on mp3 – read it – live it – understand it.
The original book and ideas behind it were never designed to “listen” to but was and is designed for reading. The ability to sit back and “jot in the margins” – to register an “AHA – That’s what it means” – is more important that being able to tote the mp3 player around – carry the book – it’s small anyway.

Al;ways fun to find another fan of Napoleon Hill.
You will enjoy downloading any or all of the Live Talk Show episodes discussing Hill, Wattles, and Haanel.

Thanks for stopping by my friend. Now I feel the thrill and the “No retreat, No surrender” kind of thing, just like a participant in Big Brother House, I’m exposed!
I guess you’re right about the book, it should be read, and not merely to be listened. I’ll do that today
There are some other great books out there that you should read as well. Some we all know about and some are quite off-beat. I am putting together a list – and will have it posted up shortly. I am going through my library – the funny thing is- as I go through all my books, I stop and start to read the ones I have forgotten all about – so – I am learning as I work- how great is that…

Hi Chuck,
I am trying to download something from The Focus Society of Overachievers, and hopefully I’ll be able to listen on my way to work tomorrow morning.
The link Audio Secret of T&GR doesn’t seem to work, FYI.
Many thanks
That’s great Benny, that happens to me as well as I revisit few books that I last read about more than two years.
I remember this book, a life of an SOB, the was an autobiography of the former chairman of USAToday, he really was an SOB
Quite a few lessons from a typical employee who has to displace his boss to make room for his promotion.
