It’s the perfect mashup of low quality writing, rambling nonsensicalness, and new age flabbiness. This book is a quintessential example of why. I mentioned in my introduction to this series that I’m not a huge fan of the whole self-help/business-mindset genre. I feel like you can’t listen to a business or investing podcast without someone mentioning it as being a book that hugely influenced them and their thinking. Like the first book I read this year ( How to Win Friends & Influence People), I chose Think and Grow Rich! because it’s a classic.
