The book has a lot of good ideas and is worth reading. Some of the writing is a little old-fashioned, in terms of phrasing and wording - but it's good to see books in their original form. Some of the ideas use validation by discredited scientific principles (the existence of the Ether, to transmit light and electromagnetism). There is also some use of pseudo-science (E.g.ESP) as evidence to support the ideas presented. But, the core principles are useful and independent valid.

It's a really difficult read as the language is a bit outdated. It's also horrifically sexist, but if you can get past that, there is a ton of value in these pages. Good luck to everyone else who is also on the road to financial freedom.

Think and Grow Rich" is an insightful read that could prove advantageous for individuals looking to enhance their mentality and accomplish aspirations. Through its pages, the book presents a comprehensive guide on how one can succeed, divulging practical techniques and drills intended for application in personal lives. Manifested in the book is a fervent accentuation on cultivating an optimistic mindset, defining unambiguous objectives and engaging in unrelenting pursuit of these goals. In addition to this, there's substantial emphasis placed upon self-control, imagination and harnessing the authority inherent within our subconscious mind when seeking triumph. An exemplary feature of the book is its implementation of factual instances portraying accomplished individuals to exemplify its guiding tenets. These case studies aid in amplifying and personalizing fundamental concepts for readers' comprehension.
