Mark Knopfler

Recently I had my eyes opened to a rather wonderful book. It is a book that has been just sat on my shelf gathering dust. It is, I am afraid to say, a long time since I bought the book with the very best intentions. The book is Think and Grow Rich by the great Napoleon Hill.

I am a fairly pragmatic person, and, before I started being a little more open minded and honest with myself, I tended to dismiss the self-improvement mindset out of hand. How can a book make me a better person, I thought. Well, that was before I read Think and Grow Rich. Since then I am very aware of the power of literature and of thinking about and understanding very important concepts.

Chapter 11 is all about sex, if you’re interested. It was a good starting point for me, but, actually, I preferred some of the other chapters. Actually all chapters in Think and Grow Rich are worth reading.

Going into the book with the right attitude is the key, and with my defeatist attitude I didn’t get past chapter 1. I tried twice. Once my friend had encouraged me to open up and try again, I managed to get it all in. Think and Grow Rich is a great book.
