<h2>10 steps to health, wealth and success by Michael J. Ritt, Jr.</h2>
<p><img class="alignleft" src="http://openmindrequired.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2008/08/2stars.gif" ></a><strong>A simplified version of Napoleon Hill&#8217;s message</strong></p>
<p>This book presents the 10 steps to success by Napoleon Hill, which are: </p>
<p>1. Take possession of your own mind with conviction<br />
2. Keep your mind on the things you want and off the things you don&#8217;t want<br />
3. Live the golden rule<br />
4. Eliminate all negative thoughts by self-inspection<br />
5. Be happy! Make others happy!<br />
6. Form a habit of tolerance<br />
7. Give yourself positive suggestions<br />
8. Use your power of prayer<br />
9. Set goals<br />
10. Study, think and plan daily </p>
<p>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&#8217;t go much further than that. </p>

<p>The book seems superficial and the few personal anecdotes were uninspiring. The cover art says, &#8220;From the bestselling author of Think and Grow Rich! so I thought this book was by Napoleon Hill, but it isn&#8217;t. </p>
<p>If you&#8217;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 <a href="http://www.amazon.com/dp/0452272815/?tag=opeminreq-20<br />
"><em>Napoleon Hill&#8217;s Keys to Success: The 17 Principles of Personal Achievement</em></a> instead. Also of interest are Napoleon Hill&#8217;s <a href="http://www.amazon.com/dp/0452266602/?tag=opeminreq-20<br />
"><em>The Think and Grow Rich Action Pack</em></a> and Vernon Howard&#8217;s <a href="http://openmindrequired.com/blog/2008/11/book-review-the-mystic-path-to-cosmic-power/"><em>The Mystic Path to Cosmic Power</em></a>.</p>
