Books that build a richer mind.
True wealth starts with how you think. These four books are a great place to begin — read them, talk about them with the community, and put them to work.
Think and Grow Rich
by Napoleon Hill
A cornerstone of personal-success writing. Hill's message is that riches begin as a thought: a burning, definite desire, backed by a plan and persistence, is what turns ambition into results.
- Set a clear, specific goal and commit to it.
- Surround yourself with a like-minded group that pushes you forward.
- Keep going when others quit — persistence is the edge.
The Science of Getting Rich
by Wallace D. Wattles
A short, practical classic that treats getting rich as something you can learn. Wattles encourages readers to hold a clear picture of what they want, act on it every day, and create value for others rather than compete for a share of it.
- Picture exactly what you want, in detail.
- Act in a "certain way" every day, starting where you are.
- Give more in value than you take in payment.
The Magic of Thinking Big
by David J. Schwartz
An encouraging, down-to-earth guide to believing bigger about yourself. Schwartz shows how the size of your thinking shapes the size of your results, with everyday habits to beat excuses, fear and doubt.
- Believe you can succeed, and you start acting like it.
- Swap excuses for action.
- Spend time with people who lift your thinking.
The Slight Edge
by Jeff Olson
A practical look at how small, simple choices repeated every day add up to big results over time — or quietly work against you when they are neglected.
- Small actions done consistently beat big bursts of effort.
- The easy things to do are also easy not to do — choose them anyway.
- Give your habits time; the results compound.
