Success Through A Positive Mental Attitude
Your mind has a secret invisible talisman. On one side is emblazoned the letters PMA (positive mental attitude) and on the other the letters NMA (negative mental attitude). A positive attitude will naturally attract the good and the beautiful. The negative attitude will rob you of all that makes life worth living.

Every people want to success, achieve their dream. A quote from this book that make me realize what the first step I have to do "A Dream without a Plan is only a WISH". Folks, we all have dreams, goal we want to achieve as soon as possible. But again, do we have a plan to achieve, or we just sit and imagine all that dreams? Read this book and you will find a path to achieve all your dream.
Success through A Positive Mental Attitude was the life changing book I needed to read.Basically Napoleon Hill has compiled 17 Success Principles that if read and applied will help you achieve Success in all aspects of your life.The importance of having a positive mental attitude is overly emphasized as one of the greatest tools for achievement,together with having a definite purpose of life so that as you embark on the journey of life you are set with principles that have worked for many succes...more
'Suceess through a positive mental attitude' is not the kind of book where you find lot of inspirational quotes(which may or may not be true)to inspire you for a flash.It's the kind of book which raises your butt off to work,and lets you work with positve attitude until you secceed.YES,it's completely truth.

What do you do when you get a great idea: do you act on it immediately or do you find all the reason why your idea is doomed?
This book builds on Napoleon Hill's two earlier works, "Think & Grow Rich" and its predecessor "The 17 Laws of Success", and focuses on how developing a positive mental attitude combined with the other principles will bring you closer to success. The coauthor of this book, W Clement Stone, was one of Jack Canfield's mentors (of "Chicken Soup For the Soul" fame).

I enjoyed this book so much that, as I was the director of an after school community tutoring and arts performance program, I bought copies and gave one to each of the volunteers, students and family members that answered yes when I asked if they would accept it.

All the ideas in this book are really good and if you actually put them to practise would help you. It is one of those books that is best read quickly first and then more slowly a second time.
It doesn't get 5 stars because throughout the ENTIRE book it kept saying how is other book as helped so many people.. which is probably true, but it felt kind of like a sales pitch to the other book (which worked as I am reading it next).

One of the books I recommend to those who want to put a fire in to their desire and passion to master and direct their attitude and disposition, through cherished virtuous desires and dreams in harmony with the principles that determine success; the success that leads to happiness for all who share in blessing others.
Principles that lead us to achieving things that were once thought impossible.

One of the last (if not the last) books that Napoleon Hill wrote and more modern than some of his other writing. Includes very powerful list of 17 Rules of success with tons of examples on how they are applied. Also includes epic bibliography of other personal development and success books. Must read for anyone who is into self actualization, being their best and/or helping others.
One can never go wrong reading Napoleon Hill....in fact, people would be more successful, optimistic and motivated if they read a Napoleon Hill book once a year or so. Wonderfully uplifting. Wonderfully positive. Success Through A Positive Mental Attitude is not as powerful as Think and Grow Rich, but still worth a read. I recommend.
It has it's points but a bit dated in style. Good if you're willing to pick through it for what is really worth your time.

This is a book anyone could usem=, it really brings thing into perspective, and makes you take a good look at youreslf.
A good reminder of concepts known but not always acted upon. A little dated with regard to statements made about technology, but I can't complain. The information is timeless.

Great book with a quiz at the end that helps you measure if you are on the right track to success.
This is a very motivational, and for me was very tasted and give me all the flavor.
this book change my life and let me to come back again to Jesus, is a bless this book
Very motivating. It gave me a good way to view the world.
You can always learn something.
Perfect Self Help Book....
This was a very helpful bok that took you through 10 mental steps. Ideally you'd spend a week on each step but having borrowed this from the library I ended up reading it straight through. There are a lot of references to Napolean Hill's Think & Grow Rich as well as stories about Clement Stone who the author Ritt worked for. Each section had inspirational quotes that I loved as well as a small multiple choice questionnaire. Overall a great book to get you started on the road to a positive me...more

Η γλώσσα μπορεί να είναι λίγο παρωχημένη σε κάποιες φάσεις. Μην ξεχνάμε ότι το βιβλίο γράφτηκε στη δεκαετία του 1930!
Όταν το διαβάσει κανείς διαπιστώνει ότι πάνω στις αρχές που προτείνει ο Χιλλ βασίζονται σχεδόν όλα τα μετέπειτα βιβλία προσωπικής ανάπτυξης και επιτυχίας.
Τέλος, να σημειώσω ότι ο Χιλλ δεν αναφέρετε μόνο στον χρηματικό πλούτο αλλά σε κάθε μορφής πλούτου που μπορεί να αναζητά κανείς.

Superb, inspirational, motivating book. Of the many ideas it offers, one I liked the most was this. Think about what you will have in one year if you do nothing now. It is a highly motivating idea.
if u already have goals in your life and you r already in the way to make them true ,but u need some positive attitude tricks sorry this book will NOT provide u such thing.
i didn't enjoy reading this book
a lot of speaking around and explaining for so easy and well understood targets .

Like a great many books in this genre, long on explanations, reasonings, and anecdotes, but short on actionable methods to actually change your thinking. Maybe I missed it. Also, I'm always a little wary of books that lend even a smidgen of credence to "unseen" mind-over-matter powers.
It was slow starting for me but I did get into it though I found my positive mental attitude went sour as I read it because I notice more now.
I will have to read this book a few times. I love the advise given and think it has already made me a more confident person.
Great reminder of what, how and why to put a positive twist on everything we allow into our minds.

Napoleon Hill was an American author in the area of the new thought movement who was one of the earliest producers of the modern genre of personal-success literature. He is widely considered to be one of the great writers on success. His most famous work, Think and Grow Rich (1937), is one of the best-selling books of all time (at the time of Hill's death in 1970, Think and Grow Rich had sold 20 m...more
