From the Author's Preface by Napoleon Hill:IN EVERY CHAPTER of this book, mention has been made of the money-making secret which has made fortunes for more than 500 exceedingly wealthy people whom I have carefully analyzed over a long period of years. The secret was brought to my attention by Andrew Carnegie more than a quarter century ago...This book contains the secret, after having been put to a practical test by thousands of people in almost every walk of life. It was Mr. Carnegie's idea that the magic formula which gave him a stupendous fortune ought to be placed within reach of everyone who does not have time to investigate how successful people make money.From the Editor's Foreword:This edition of Think and Grow Rich! is the Original Version, Restored and Revised... Hill first published Think and Grow Rich! and its money-making secret in 1937 at the depths of the Great Depression. In 1960 he published a revised edition, which deleted many sections that appeared in the original. Much of this deleted material focused on...the environment of an economic disaster. These and other changes were made so as not to "date" the book. Copies of the 1 960 edition and its subsequent printings have, until now, been just about the only ones available since the 1960s. Ironically, because of the enormous economic upheavals, dislocations, and uncertainties that have swept America and the world ? including the near collapse of the world economy in 2008 ? much of what was omitted from the 1960 edition turns out to be incredibly relevant to circumstances and conditions that prevail today. Think and Grow Rich! in its original form speaks as clearly and meaningfully to people in the 21st century as it did to those in the early and later 20th century – and perhaps more so...This edition is revised also in that it is the first fully annotated version of Think and Grow Rich! ever published, the first with footnotes, endnotes, and appendices, and it contains the first comprehensive index to assist readers in using the book more effectively...While his message itself is timeless, many of the persons, events, and circumstances he discusses...are no longer familiar to most readers. Think and Grow Rich!: The Original Version, Restored and Revised™ aims – in the sense of a "revised standard version" – to make all of these things as clear as possible without in any way interfering with or disturbing the integrity and message of the original work.
