致富之路看似玄妙，实则有法可循。但若没有思考，成功便是无稽之谈。

Think and Grow Rich《思考致富》旨在提供可行之法，指引读者通过思考实现富有。
本书的创作受到了卡内基的启发。卡内基只身闯荡美国，从一文不名的穷小子成为富可敌国的钢铁大王。卡内基在暮年，把自己的成功秘诀向拿破仑·希尔倾囊相授，并建议拿破仑·希尔以研究成功奥秘作为终身的事业。拿破仑·希尔信守承诺，用25年时间访问了500多位商界和政界名流，总结了一套完整的致富秘诀和成功哲学，并最终指导无数普通人实践书中的这些原理和法则，获得极大成功，使很多人成为了百万富翁。希尔由此被誉为“百万富翁的制造者”。
书中所言“致富”并不局限在金钱上的富有，而涵盖事业、家庭等多方面的成功。本书所述致富秘诀也绝不仅为积累财富的单一途径，而是帮助人们实现事业卓越、家庭幸福的法宝。近80年来，《思考致富》所述秘诀引领数百万政府成员、商业精英跻身成功者行列。对于现在的创业者、投资者、政府官员，甚至任何愿意用思考换取财富的人，都必将从本书中找到可行之法。
你是否对这种现象感到奇怪：你对某些人、某些想法甚至某些产品会“一见钟情”，而对某些人、某些想法甚至某些产品一看见就很反感？

你是否无法解释自己的一些行为，并且很想知道目前的生活是否真的适合你？
你是否想找到人生的意义和你的人生使命？你是否能拥有自己想要的幸福？
所有问题的答案，都源自你内在的原型。

“原型”这一概念基于20世纪最伟大的思想家之一、心理学大师荣格的原型理论。原型是我们对世界进行反映的先天倾向，也是集体潜意识的主要内容。原型理论研究的是人类的心理结构，力求通过对人类心理的研究来探讨人类本书从爱迪生及其事业伙伴巴恩斯、亨利·福特、马歇尔·菲尔德等人的成功经历中，提炼出13步致富秘诀，并逐一详细论述行动之法。历经1/4个世纪，500位成功人士亲身检验，钢铁大王安德鲁·卡内基倾囊相授。
欲望是必不可少的成功源头，信心为成功奠定基础，每一次自我暗示都在传递力量，但成功所需远不止于此。专业知识、想象力、精心策划、决心、毅力，等等，缺一不可。此外，通往成功之路布满荆棘，贫穷、批评、病痛、失恋、衰老、死亡，任何一种恐惧都可能成为你成功路上的“拦路虎”，我们该如何面对？Think and Grow Rich《思考致富》为你详细解答。

拿破仑•希尔的名字在美国家喻户晓，他倾尽一生创建的成功哲学鼓舞了千百万人，因此他被称为“百万富翁的创造者”，成为美国社会享有盛誉的学者。
他的个人著作《思考致富》《成功之道》，与克里曼特•斯通合著作品《人人都能成功》等被译成26种文字，是所有追求成功者的必读书。

Napoleon Hill was born in 1883 in Wise County, Virginia. He worked as a secretary, a "mountain reporter" for a local newspaper, the manager of a coal mine and a lumber yard, and attended law school, before he began working as a journalist for Bob Taylor's Magazine—a job that led to his meeting steel magnate Andrew Carnegie, which changed the course of his life. Carnegie believed success could be distilled into principles that any person could follow, and urged Hill to interview the greatest industrialists of the era in order to discover these principles. Hill took on the challenge, which lasted twenty years and formed the building block for Think and Grow Rich, the wealth-building classic and all-time bestseller of its kind, which has sold more than 20 million copies worldwide. Hill devoted the remainder of his life to discovering and refining the principles of success. After a long and rich career as an author, magazine publisher, lecturer, and consultant to business leaders, the motivational pioneer died in 1970 in South Carolina.
TRULY, “thoughts are things,” and powerful things at that, when they are mixed with definiteness of purpose, persistence, and a BURNING DESIRE for their translation into riches, or other material objects.

A little more than thirty years ago, Edwin C. Barnes discovered how true it is that men really do THINK AND GROW RICH. His discovery did not come about at one sitting. It came little by little, beginning with a BURNING DESIRE to become a business associate of the great Edison.
One of the chief characteristics of Barnes’ Desire was that it was definite. He wanted to work with Edison, not for him. Observe, carefully, the description of how he went about translating his DESIRE into reality, and you will have a better understanding of the thirteen principles which lead to riches.
When this DESIRE, or impulse of thought, first flashed into his mind he was in no position to act upon it. Two difficulties stood in his way. He did not know Mr. Edison, and he did not have enough money to pay his railroad fare to Orange, New Jersey.
These difficulties were sufficient to have discouraged the majority of men from making any attempt to carry out the desire. But his was no ordinary desire! He was so determined to find a way to carry out his desire that he finally decided to travel by “blind baggage,” rather than be defeated. (To the uninitiated, this means that he went to East Orange on a freight train).
He presented himself at Mr. Edison’s laboratory, and announced he had come to go into business with the inventor. In speaking of the first meeting between Barnes and Edison, years later, Mr. Edison said, “He stood there before me, looking like an ordinary tramp, but there was something in the expression of his face which conveyed the impression that he was determined to get what he had come after. I had learned, from years of experience with men, that when a man really DESIRES a thing so deeply that he is willing to stake his entire future on a single turn of the wheel in order to get it, he is sure to win. I gave him the opportunity he asked for, because I saw he had made up his mind to stand by until he succeeded. Subsequent events proved that no mistake was made.”
Just what young Barnes said to Mr. Edison on that occasion was far less important than that which he thought. Edison, himself, said so! It could not have been the young man’s appearance which got him his start in the Edison office, for that was definitely against him. It was what he THOUGHT that counted. If the significance of this statement could be conveyed to every person who reads it, there would be no need for the remainder of this book. Barnes did not get his partnership with Edison on his first interview. He did get a chance to work in the Edison offices, at a very nominal wage, doing work that was unimportant to Edison, but most important to Barnes, because it gave him an opportunity to display his “merchandise” where his intended “partner” could see it.
