About the author

Oliver Napoleon Hill was an American self-help author and conman. He is best known for his book Think and Grow Rich (1937), which is among the best-selling self-help books of all time. Hill's works insisted that fervid expectations are essential to improving one's life. Most of his books were promoted as expounding principles to achieve "success".
Hill is a controversial figure. Accused of fraud, modern historians also doubt many of his claims, such as that he met Andrew Carnegie and that he was an attorney.

Money is Not Necessarily the Solution

Many people believe that if they had more money they would be happy. This collection of books challenges that idea. Money is not the only prerequisite for happiness. What you believe about yourself and your life is equally important. In fact, that’s what allows you to enjoy your prosperity.

This collection of books addresses the issue of becoming wealthy, but more important the mindset that allows you to attain and enjoy wealth. Too often people become wealthy through the lottery, or an inheritance, perhaps a high paying job and find themselves even more miserable than they were before. The windfall didn’t solve their problems with their feelings and beliefs.

This collection of books is dated from the standpoint of being written well over fifty years ago. The phrasing and some of the illustrations are from social activities decades ago. However, the ideas in the book are as pertinent today as they were then. I enjoyed the books. You don’t have to read them in sequence, but if you do I think you’ll catch the thread of what is most important in the collection.

I received this book from St. Martin’s Press for this review.

Essential Prosperity is a collection of books on the subjects of wealth, finance, business, motivation, perseverance prosperity mindset and focus, among others. These aren't necessarily 'How-To' books. Be happier and healthier, maybe even wealthier!
I want a copy of this book in a Goodreads giveaway. Thanks to Goodreads, the authors, and Saint Martin's Essentials Press.
