INTRODUCTION Getting rich isn’t just about amassing stockpiles of cash; it results from a clearly formulated philosophy. Published over 70 years ago, the Napoleon Hill classic “Think and Grow Rich” is a thoughtful treatise on the habits of the wealthy. From beating procrastination learning never to give up, becoming wealthy is shown to be a lifelong discipline. Thanks to the visual power of comics, all of the old rules are as valuable as ever, and now they look like a million bucks. While creating relevant contemporary illustrations for Hill’s classic text was a challenge, we strongly believe that the result is an astonishing reading experience. This is not a “get rich” quick book. On the contrary, it is a profound study of human nature that has made it a perennial favorite among many self-made millionaires. While many have heard that “quitters never win, and winners never quit,” captivating illustrations convey this wisdom powerfully. Much like losing weight by eating right and getting exercise, growing rich doesn’t happen overnight. Hill explains that accumulating wealth is based on his methodology and system of beliefs. By knowing how to harness any and all available resources and by refusing to be deterred by any temporary set-backs, a person finds his way to personal and financial fulfillment. “Think and Grow Rich from SmarterComics” is just one of our many innovative illustrated titles that helps to translate valuable wisdom of the past into an interesting format that will engage readers for generations to come. In a world full of intense visual stimulation, this work masterfully holds a reader`s attention while imparting classic truths in a contemporary style. We proudly make this important work accessible to a wider audience who happens to prefer to do their reading on mobile devices. By honoring Napoleon Hill’s legacy, we hope to help foster a world “rich” with people who understand the means, method and value of achieving their dreams. Your SmarterComics team
