Napoleon Hill's Keys to Positive Thinking: 10 Steps to Health, Wealth, and Success

This self-help manual amplifies the principles first promulgated in Hill's Think and Grow Rich. Although he died more than 20 years ago, Ritt worked with him for two decades and adequately conveys Hill's philosophy of personal growth in this clearly written if simplistic guide to positive thinking. According to the authors, a positive mental attitude (PMA) is the key to releasing the creative energy within. Once achieved, PMA is said to ensure success in business and in personal relationships. To achieve PMA, the authors recommend a 10-step formula that includes living the golden rule, utilizing prayer, setting goals, learning tolerance, focusing on positive images and eliminating negative thoughts. Each chapter includes instructions and exercises for mastering a step, as well as a self-test to rate the progress made. (Jan.)
