The title is interesting-nothing like doing something different to get people's attention in a crowded genre. Often we hear of those striving for riches who lose their sanity and families in the process. This book promises to show you how to grow rich with peace of mind. That's worth looking into. So, what's the book about?

Chapter 1, "Know Your Own Mind, Live Your Own Life" suggests the peace of mind comes from knowing yourself and being true to that self. The first paragraph states:

"You have a great potential for success, but first you must know your own mind and live your own life-then you find and enjoy that mighty potential. Become acquainted with your inner self and you can win what you want within a time limit of your own choosing. Certain special techniques help you win the goals of your dearest dreams, and every one of these techniques is easily within your power."

He goes on to say that somewhere along the way, every successful man finds out how to live his life the way he wishes to. And the younger you are when you discover this, the happier you will be, although many have discovered their true calling late in life and have been successful and happy. But that the Creator gave us each our own mind and the ability to use it. Too often we're influenced by others and we're not true to ourselves.

This is not just another book written for those pursuing the life of a business mogul. These principles can be applied to any pursuit. Napoleon Hill highlights the following as well:

• Never believe that you don't have what it takes
• Great artists also live their own lives or they wouldn't be artists
• Every adversity carries the seed of an equal or greater benefit

This book promises you will learn how to:

1. Succeed in life, succeed in being yourself
2. Develop your own healthy ego
3. Achieve friendship and lasting love
4. Transmute sexual emotion into achievement power
5. Achieve the basic mental attitude that brings wealth and peace of mind
6. Win the job you want and keep going forward
7. Get rid of fear, find hearty self-confidence, and personal drive
8. Turn every challenge into a new success
