Think and Grow Rich
Napoleon Hill · 1883–1970
Hill sets out thirteen steps from desire to riches — faith, autosuggestion, specialised knowledge, imagination, organised planning, decision, persistence, the 'master mind' and more — which he presented as the method of the successful men he said he had studied. Influential, energising and much disputed; read it with a pencil.

Questions for discussion
Hill's evidence is mostly anecdote. Does that weaken the method, or only his claims about it?
Who would be in your 'master mind' group, and what would you ask of them?
Which of the thirteen steps is the most useful on its own? Which would you drop?
What does the book assume about who gets rich, and who does not?
