If you want to grow rich and have someone nagging at you that you have to stop breathing, eating, and sleeping just to cater 24/7 to getting rich, this is the book for you.
Content: The entire book is based on the notion that if you want it, you can have it. That you just need to dream it. In the early chapters of the book, Hill mentioned how if you're ready you'll know what to do as you read through the book. It's probably the case if you already have an idea of how to get rich and you just need some form of external motivation pushing you on.
Estimated reading time needed: ~20h
Key takeaways:
1) You need to believe and envision the life before you can lead the life.
2) Getting rich requires determination and discipline. Lots of them. You need to be obsessed with getting wealthy, and make the required sacrifices.
Recommendation: There really aren't many takeaways as I only read the first hundred or so pages. The reviews were great, but I didn't see the need for an author to write about "believing in yourself", "have faith", "you can achieve anything you dream of as long as you work for it". These may be helpful if you're stuck or lost in life, but such fluffiness is something I didn't expect in such a highly acclaimed book. Furthermore, as many other reviewers have pointed out, Hill said he didn't allow his deaf son to learn the sign language because he "believed he could live like a normal human", which implies that deaf people cannot live "normally", or that sign language isn't "normal". Crass and crude. I definitely do not recommend wasting your time with this book unless you need to hammer in those thoughts into your head.
