Three Feet from Gold: Opportunities for Thinking and Growing Rich

In 1908, an unknown writer was chosen by the world's richest man, Andrew Carnegie, to undertake a very special project - to interview the most influential and wealthy leaders in order to determine the common denominator among them for attaining success. That young man was Napoleon Hill, and the book that grew from those interviews was Think and Grow Rich, the bible of personal development and the 20th best-selling book in the history of the world.

Exactly 100 years later, the Napoleon Hill Foundation selected two gifted individuals to follow in Hill's historic footsteps and modernize his classic work by interviewing the most celebrated and gifted minds of our modern era. Sharon Lechter and Greg Reid focused their query on a core component of the Think and Grow Rich philosophy by asking one simple question: What inspired you despite overwhelming challenges, dismal odds and discouraging setbacks to persevere on your quest?

Now, more than ever, we need a reminder that in order to achieve greatness, our determination must be more powerful than any obstacles confronted. Great pains are prerequisites to great gains. There are no shortcuts. First, there is a dream, and then there is struggle followed by victory. The admonition is to not be a footnote in history like R. U. Darby, a miner during the California Gold Rush who threw in the towel and sold his claim for a hundred dollars. The man who bought the claim dug only 'three feet' before striking one of the richest gold veins in history.

The book that grew from the interviews conducted by Lechter and Reid is a testament to the resilience of the human spirit and the power of perseverance. The stories shared by these modern-day luminaries are a powerful reminder that success is not achieved through luck or circumstance, but through a steadfast commitment to one's goals and a willingness to overcome any obstacle that stands in the way.

The lessons gleaned from these interviews are not just applicable to the realm of business and finance, but to all facets of life. Whether one is striving to achieve personal growth, artistic expression, or simply to live a more fulfilling existence, the principles espoused in Think and Grow Rich are universal in their applicability.

At a time when the world is facing unprecedented challenges, both personal and global, the message of this book is more relevant than ever. The stories of these modern-day trailblazers serve as a beacon of hope, reminding us that with the right mindset and an unwavering determination, we can overcome even the most daunting of obstacles and achieve our greatest aspirations.

In the end, the true power of Think and Grow Rich lies not in its ability to impart wealth or material success, but in its capacity to inspire the human spirit and ignite the flame of possibility within each of us. By embracing the principles set forth in this timeless work, we can not only transform our own lives, but also contribute to the betterment of the world around us.
