Think and Grow Rich

by Napoleon Hill

Tamir notes that this popular business book has a chapter on dreaming in which Hill describes dreams and imagined meetings with mentors such as Thomas Edison and a U.S. president, and Edison telling him it had more merit than he could imagine.

Where it appears 4

  • love has no dark side

    Self-help classic (1937) that Tamir pairs with the Bhagavad Gita as a text about steadfast vision and purpose.

  • how to win at pinball & life

    Classic self-help book cited as part of the self-help lineage and for its early chapter on 'burning desire', which Tamir sets against the Buddhist teaching that desire causes suffering.

  • don't pretend you aren't confused

    Tamir read it six or seven times. He singles out its chapter on sex transmutation, especially the passage that each past love leaves its own indelible trace on the heart and can be dwelt on in lonely times; for him that chapter eclipses the rest.
