Outdated

Unlike Napolean Hill’s classic works, this doesn’t relate in today’s world and sensibilities. It was written for white males in the post-industrial age trying to “pose” .

Misleading

The release date of this book is listed as 2015 but it was written in 1959. The audiobook must have been recorded in 2015. The misleading publication date in combination with the modern-looking cover image had me expecting something completely different from what this book is. Outdated and simplistic. Promotes some practices that I'm pretty sure have since been shown to be harmful, such as ignoring and pushing away negative emotions. Really disappointed with this purchase.

Worth listening and reading and re listening and rereding

This is my first review. This book is so much more than about thinking big. I wish i had a chance to read it in my early 20s, the authors give a lot of ideas how to deal with life and stress, listening to it was like having a mentor who i never had but alway wish i had.
