Think and Grow Rich "Stickability"
The Power of Perseverance
1 of 1 copy available
The path to personal and professional success is not a one-way street. Most people encounter setbacks and obstacles that threaten to derail them from their chosen route. The most successful people, however, adhere to their principles and goals, capitalizing on hidden opportunities, even in the face of what many would consider unconquerable obstacles. To coin a new word—these people have STICKABILITY!
This thought-provoking book shows readers of all ages and backgrounds how they, too, can not only apply the self-motivation principles of Napoleon Hill’s timeless and groundbreaking self-help volume Think and Grow Rich, but make them stick. Combining author Greg S. Reid’s modern business wisdom, interviews with numerous business celebrities like Steve Wozniak (co-founder of Apple), Frank Shankwitz (founder of the Make a Wish foundation), and Martin Cooper (inventor of the cell phone), and valuable information from the secret files previously available only to the Napoleon Hill Foundation and its members, this book will reveal:
• The “Three Causes of Failure” from Napoleon Hill’s hidden vault of wisdom
• The importance of flexibility
• The principle of relaxed intensity in action
• How to define and conquer your “cul-de-sac” moments
• How to overcome the ghost of fear
• The importance of insight through necessity
• And so much more!
Each inspiring chapter will remind readers that if ever a discouraging moment arrives and the temptation to stop becomes greater than the dream, to keep one simple observation from Dr. Hill in mind:
“Most great people have attained their greatest success just one step BEYOND their greatest setback and failure.”
STICKABILITY shows readers just how life-changing this simple principle can be. Additionally, it gives readers an outlines on how to develop their own stickability—and transform their lives forever!

The latest offering from the Napoleon Hill juggernaut focuses on old-fashioned determination as a path to success. Hailed in the introduction as “arguably the founder of the modern-day success movement,” Hill’s empire has encouraged readers for years through the Think and Grow Rich series. In this highly branded and deliberately quotable book, authorized by the Napoleon Hill Foundation, filmmaker and motivational speaker Reid argues that although success is difficult to achieve, fortune favors the bold, and success comes to those who find ways to power through hard times. Reid breaks down the “Three Causes of Failure”: inability to get along with other people; quitting when the going gets tough; and procrastination. He stresses the need to be flexible and forward-thinking in tough times. Case studies include the famous (J.K. Rowling, the stranded Chilean miners, Steve Jobs) and the obscure (such as Anousheh Ansari, an immigrant who became the first astronaut of Iranian descent). Fans of Hill’s model will find inspiration in the exhortations to fight entropy, overcome fear, have faith, and innovate; others may view the painfully stilted writing and flagrant sales pitches for other books in the series as tiresome. -
Joel Fotinos's smooth phrasing provides a steady, easy-to-hear performance of this excellent lesson on perseverance. With his natural-sounding enunciation and low-key enthusiasm, he delivers the author's message that persistence in the face of obstacles is what separates people who succeed from those who fail or settle for mediocrity. Greg Reid's writing does a good job of blending the Napoleon Hill Foundation's classic brand of optimism with up-to-date productivity formulas--strategies such as working well with other people, avoiding procrastination, setting large and dramatic goals, and learning to handle big challenges with equanimity and mental flexibility. Though some of the vignettes seem long-winded, the clarity of the basic message and an excellent reading make this a thoroughly stimulating, top-shelf resource on productivity.
