Think and Grow Rich is the number-one inspirational and motivational classic for individuals who are interested in furthering their lives and reaching their goals by learning from important figures in history. The text read in this audiobook is the original 1937 edition written by Napoleon Hill and inspired by Andrew Carnegie - and while it has often been reproduced, no updated version has ever been able to compete with the original.

Story4.5 out of 5 stars 138
Our most commonly held formula for success is broken. Conventional wisdom holds that once we succeed, we’ll be happy; that once we get that great job, win that next promotion, lose those five pounds, happiness will follow. But the science reveals this formula to be backward: Happiness fuels success, not the other way around.

Short but Very Sweet
Reviewed: 22-06-14
Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?
Yes. This book is long enough to explain the method but short enough to get you fired up into taking action.
What other book might you compare Awaken the Giant Within to, and why?
This is a short version of alot of the books that I read. Also, Anthony Robbins is very like Jim Rohn when he speaks. He is, however, very much unique and his presentation - in my opinion - is amazing. My mentor.
What about Anthony Robbins’s performance did you like?
His delivery and passion could sell absolutely anything.
Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?
His story about how he cried, believing that his life was worthless - then not too many years later when he arrived at his seminar and thousands of people were fighting to see him. Result!
Any additional comments?
If you want to change your life or any aspect of it - listen to this. It is the shortest self-development audiobook - but the strongest to get you motivated to make more progress and develop a plan to succeed.

Story4.5 out of 5 stars 67
Can we really learn to be happy? Yes, we can. Each semester, nearly 1,400 students sign up for Harvard professor Tal Ben-Shahar's life-changing class, "How to Get Happy". Currently it's the hottest course at Harvard, taken by 20 percent of its graduates. In Happier, Professor Ben-Shahar brings the ideas of the Ivory Tower to Main Street, distilling the lessons and exercises from his course into a slim volume of practical wisdom.

Excellent Philosophy and Research

Would you listen to Happier again? Why?
Yes, I have listened to this 3 times so far and I will no doubt listen again
What was one of the most memorable moments of Happier?
None in particular, however I feel that the whole book is so relevant and informative to us all that the whole story is a must to be listened to.
Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?
Yes, and I have listened to it all in one sitting twice.
Any additional comments?
This is an area of psychology that I am extremely interested and passionate about - however, you do not need to have any psychology knowledge to follow the book or any of the research referenced as it is so well told it relates to everyday life and situations.

Get some one who sounds real to read it
