10 steps to health, wealth and success by Michael J. Ritt, Jr.

A simplified version of Napoleon Hill’s message

This book presents the 10 steps to success by Napoleon Hill, which are:

1. Take possession of your own mind with conviction
2. Keep your mind on the things you want and off the things you don’t want
3. Live the golden rule
4. Eliminate all negative thoughts by self-inspection
5. Be happy! Make others happy!
6. Form a habit of tolerance
7. Give yourself positive suggestions
8. Use your power of prayer
9. Set goals
10. Study, think and plan daily

The book includes simple self-tests that determine if you are coming from a positive mental attitude, a negative attitude or a lazy attitude. Short exercises encourage you to write down beliefs, goals, desires, but don’t go much further than that.

The book seems superficial and the few personal anecdotes were uninspiring. The cover art says, “From the bestselling author of Think and Grow Rich! so I thought this book was by Napoleon Hill, but it isn’t.

If you’re looking for a short, easy-to-read book to remind you of steps to success, this will do the trick. Otherwise, go directly to the source and get Napoleon Hill’s Keys to Success: The 17 Principles of Personal Achievement instead. Also of interest are Napoleon Hill’s The Think and Grow Rich Action Pack and Vernon Howard’s The Mystic Path to Cosmic Power.
