What You'll Learn
Napoleon Hill spent 25 years studying 500 of America's most successful people — Andrew Carnegie, Henry Ford, Thomas Edison, Theodore Roosevelt and more — to distill the 13 principles of wealth-building. Each is a chapter:
- Desire — the starting point of all achievement
- Faith — visualization of belief
- Autosuggestion — reprogramming the subconscious
- Specialized Knowledge
- Imagination — the workshop of the mind
- Organized Planning
- Decision — mastery of procrastination
- Persistence
- Power of the Mastermind
- Sex Transmutation
- The Subconscious Mind
- The Brain
- The Sixth Sense
Best Way to Listen
- Start on Spotify (free, zero commitment).
- Listen at 1.0× for the first chapter, then 1.25× once you know Hill's voice.
- After each chapter, read the matching deep-dive on our Think and Grow Rich Complete Guide — the principles stick much harder when you've thought about them once between sessions.
- Keep a notebook. Hill specifically asks readers to write things down — the audiobook works the same way.
Is the Free Version Complete?
Yes — the Spotify and Audible editions linked above are the full original 1937 unedited edition. Some newer editions are revised for "modern audiences" and cut Hill's original chapter on Sex Transmutation. If you want the real book as Hill wrote it, stick with the unabridged 1937 versions.

About 9 hours 35 minutes for the original 1937 edition. Newer abridged editions run 4–6 hours.
Is Think and Grow Rich still relevant today?
The mindset principles — desire, persistence, organized planning, mastermind groups — map directly onto modern self-development and entrepreneurship advice. The business examples are dated; the psychology isn't.

Can I listen offline?

Do I need to read the book too?
No. But many readers say the autosuggestion and organized-planning chapters land harder when you also write the exercises down.
