    To those of you who enjoyed Think and Grow Rich, and this is unwelcome news... Understand that you can enjoy the book and get something out of it the bits about “positive thinking and goal setting”, without following in Hill’s footsteps.
    Being aware of the limitations of the book is important. The man was a documented con-man during his life. This is a fact. He was also broke most of his life and plagued by his actions. This is also a fact. But you still can know all of those things and take something away from his book positively. 🤔 Thanks for watching!

    Excellent video! I read (part of) "Think and Grow Rich" when I was 21 years old and I would say it left a positive impact. However, after getting about 20% into the book I found it to be unbearably repetitive.
    In the years since then I've found that nearly every 'self help' book that people recommend is simply a rehash or modern adaptation of T&GR. I've long since stopped read self-help books, preferring academic books on history and economics, finding them to be far more helpful.

Sooooo - stop being so negative and take some good lessons from something once in awhile. I know you focus on a lot of the negative as it’s how you discover fake guru’s and bad business practices.

Unfortunately, mentors seem to get people to believe that you only need to read their stuff. I have found it is much better to learn from many people. I am a reader of Napoleon Hill. As you can see from this video, some people do not like him. I was also irritated with him. But then, we can all agree, that Hill, was a successful writer and motivational speaker. There is a speech on here that Hill does, have a look. If he is what this video says he is, I do not know how he was able to make people at the time to believe he advised presidents, met Carnegie. He even received an honorary doctorate degree. How was it able to pull all that off?? After watching more of this video, I think it tells me more that you can't just listen or learn from one mentor. lol. But again, Hill was a successful writer.

    My overall take from books from N. Hill, Earl Nightingale, Dale Carnagie etc. is adjust your attitude. When you improve your attitude life becomes easier and good things will naturally come with your attitude adjustment. Don't take a lot of the advice literally: just think and things change. Earl Nightingale once said "one's reality is the mirror of one's mental attitude". Many good things have come from books like this, despite the less than perfect characters of the authors. Books like this have immensely improved my life, and no, I don't define success as being "rich", but in terms of significantly reducing stress in my life, getting along with my spouse, taking pride in my work etc. ALL from an attitude adjustment, which books like this encourage.

    i read and have been deeply influenced by Think and Grow Rich and only tonight found out Napoleon HIll was a con man. Just like that, it explained quite a few mistakes I have made in life based on his writings. And I am amazed that it never in occurred to me to doubt his authenticity. I have recommended the book. I have told people he knew Andrew Carnegie. I've been wrong all these years.

      The book is supposed to put you in the right mindset. 95% of this world is mentally! No one is perfect people believe in a Jesus died and rosed again in 3 days. And a lot of people believe that but it was metaphor on coming to oneself again. Long story short. Put your positive thoughts into action and your time will come. There’s ups and down in everything!

    I don’t subscribe to the new age beliefs regarding manifestation, but the principles of planning, taking action, overcoming fears, developing specialized skills and knowledge, and networking, having persistence, those are sound ideas.
    I think there are some good lessons in Napoleon Hills books, especially regarding causes for failure. He fabricated some parts of his stories to reinforce ideas he believed to be true. “Outwitting the Devil” being a good example of a fictional conversation intended to express Hill’s ideas.

  • @RuanMMarinho

    Coffee I love you but you are so wrong. To start, it is completely normal for people to lose belonging's in house fires etc. Look at Larry Janesky (worth $500M ) in CT after his mansion burned down with thousands of his journals and belonging that can't ever be replaced (search this). Look at Future who did his entire mixtape 56 Nights with DJ Esco and lost it. Are you going to say all of those songs were never made? Second thing, why would you charge the president or politicians for knowledge? It is clear that the wealth was not important to Napolean but rather it was the drive in man to acquire that wealth and overall accomplishment. Its similar to you not wanting to start a course but are interested in why people do so. Something turns you on about it, you investigate it, which is why you spend 60 hours per week making videos. Who knows maybe a part of you wishes you could turn on your Caleb Maddix switch and become a guru. It is a known fact that Napolean Hill lost all of his belongings after becoming wealthy and became a humble writer in his early 80s. In his book "Grow Rich With Peace of Mind" he talks about how the money he made and how he did not have peace of mind. Money was not important to him, mens desire to keep acquiring was what was important to him. The issue with calling the book "puff and fluff" is his book sold 100M+ copies and is still the top business book today. Reality check, puff and fluff books don't stay in circulation for 100 years. While you have an opinion and strong evidence against him.. there is just more evidence going for him. a 10.5 BILLION dollar company Chick Fil A's founder Samuel Truett Cathy (STRAIGHT FROM HIS MOUTH) said that the motivational book Think and Grow Rich by Napoleon Hill was one of the greatest foundations for inspiration growing up. (Eat Mor Chikin: Inspire More People, 2002). Oprah Winfrey, worth $2.6 BILLION preaches the secret which is a baby of Napolean's work. Ken Norton who knocked out Muhammad Ali used the book to give him the inspiration. The point is, you don't look up to Napolean, you look up to the people he interviewed. It is a KNOWN fact, that he interviewed hundreds of millionaires and billionaires. If you understood how this works, once you are in a selective group it becomes easier to get to know the friends of those groups. The book called Three Feet From Gold tells a story about this. The last part pisses me off the most of what you said. You mentioned you don't just "wish yourself to success" but he never says that. In fact he clearly states that the prayer alone will not bring riches. It is the demanding of not taking poverty as a solution that allows the universe to move your life towards riches, which starts with a mindset and environment shift. You missed the most important book out of all of them, Outwitting The Devil. He says in the book "I know nothing about any form of prayer which can be induced to work favorably in a mind that is colored, in the slightest degree, by fear. I now pray, not for more of this world’s goods and greater blessings, but to be worthy of that which I already have." What you missed most of all is Napoleans largest conspiracy that he was often visited by alleged spirit visitations where the spirits would leak information to him in his early 80's. This by far was the most interesting claim he made. His teachings also work the reverse way, in Outwitting The Devil he talks about poverty and what people do to not be successful. That book also was so controversial that it had to wait almost 100 years to be published. It was published in 2011 I think. Once again love you bro, but I am a huge Napolean fan lol

Consider that Coffeezilla's existence is the natural process of the market wiping stuff out. The scammers and liars prey on natural human desires, so they will ALWAYS have a market. The only thing that can protect us is skepticism, and where that fails, education. Coffeezilla is education. Before the market wipes out the scammers and liars, those scammers and liars could still make a LOT of money. Just not your money! (especially if you had the education, provided by Coffeezilla himself.).
