In 1908, an unknown writer was chosen by Andrew Carnegie, the richest man in the world, to undertake a very special project – interview the most influential and wealthy leaders to determine the common denominator among them for attaining success. That young man was Napoleon Hill, and the book that grew from those interviews was Think and Grow Rich, the bible of personal development and the 20th best-selling book in the history of the world.
Exactly 100 years later the Napoleon Hill Foundation selected two gifted individuals to follow in Hill’s historic footsteps and modernize his classic work by interviewing the most celebrated and gifted minds of our modern era. Sharon Lechter and Greg Reid focused their query on a core component of the Think and Grow Rich philosophy by asking one simple question: What inspired you despite overwhelming challenges, dismal odds and discouraging setback to persevere on your quest?
Now, more than ever, we need a reminder that in order to achieve greatness our determination must be more powerful that any obstacles confronted. Great pains are prerequisites to great gains. There are no shortcuts. First there is a dream, and then there is struggle followed by victory. The admonition is to not be a footnote in history like R. U. Darby. Who was he? He was a miner during the California Gold Rush who threw in the towel and sold his claim for a hundred dollars. The man who bought the claim dug only ‘three feet’ before striking one of the richest gold veins in history.

Positive and Inspirational
The book reads like a novel and yet it is a compilation of numerous biographies of successful people who became leaders in their respective industries without compromising their integrity. The most insightful part of the book is the implementation guide in which invaluable resources guide readers to becoming the best version of themselves.

Three From Gold – Turn Your Obstacles into Opportunities
I had the pleasure of reading this book before it hit the shelves and I absolutely found it motivating. One of my all time favorites is Think and Grow Rich and in the back of my mind i thought it would be great to have a current day version of this book and that is exactly what Sharon Lechter and Greg Reid accomplished. I thoroughly enjoyed it from beginning to end and found it to be very inspirational and uplifting. I just entered the field of Network Marketing for a company in the Travel Industry and have never worked as hard as I have the last year. What this book did for me was overcome my fear of what dead end was I going to run into today. The book gave me courage to start setting a course of action and be confident in what I am doing. But mostly is reminded me that I can’t quit. Quitting is something you do when you don’t believe in yourself or the journey that you are embarking on. Quitting is an excuse for not wanting to do the things you need to do to be successful. I loved how the modern day version used terminology, situations, realistic obstacles that we all face today yet were different 75 years ago. I am excited to share this book with everyone in my network and friends and family that need that extra push, that extra encouragement, that extra knowledge on how to turn life’s obstacles into Opportunities.This is a MUST read book!!

If you liked Think and Grow Rich, you’ll love Three Feet From Gold
I heard about the release of Three Feet From Gold last weekend. I picked it up on Tuesday and read it cover-to-cover on my flight from Minneapolis to Los Angeles on Wednesday. This insightful book captures the key points of Think and Grow Rich and is a terrific refresher. And while the principles of Think and Grow Rich are timeless, the style of writing and examples are understandably a bit dated for today’s readers. Three Feet From Gold is written for 2009 — it is the right book at the right time. You will learn and be inspired as you find encouragement and ideas to persist in the pursuit of your professional dreams. The challenging economic times have created doubt and difficulty for many entrepreneurs. Sharon Lechter and Greg Reid share principles and wisdom from some of the most impressive entrepreneurs and business leaders today, reinforcing and expanding on the Think and Grow Rich concepts. The ideas I received for further improving my own business and myself were invaluable. Thank you for this wonderful book. I am motivated and energized to take my business to a whole new level. I loved Three Feet From Gold and recommend it highly.

I Liked It So Much, I Bought Copies for Christmas Gifts!
It’s not often when a book is so good and grabs your attention so well that you want to immediately share its insights with friends and family; this is exactly what I did after reading “Three Feet From Gold”, and I can’t wait until Christmas when those closest to me can also share and benefit from this great motivational book.As other reviewers reported, the story includes many real, incredible mentors and successes of our time. This is particularly true of the author, Sharon Lechter, who is a CPA, entrepreneur, philanthropist, educator, international speaker and Mom, a member of the President’s Advisory Council on Financial Literacy, and founder of Pay Your Family First and YOUTHpreneur. “Three Feet from Gold” is her newest book. Her new board game for teens, Thrive Time, launched in September. She is also the co-author of the international best-selling book “Rich Dad Poor Dad”.Buy the book. Read it. Share it with the people you know. Enjoy your success!

Useful, Valuable and Three Feet from Great
A good start, and a refresh on Napoleon Hill’s Think and Grow Rich – with interviews and lessons from the 21st Century. The book grabs you with the snippets of wisdom and the author’s journey. Having said that, the 5th star was elusive as it was almost too much story, and not enough meaty nuggets. I know the story is a morsel in and of itself, but I would rather have seen the approach closer to some of the other books of this type and focus on the subjects and the lesson rather than the author’s journey. A good book, and three feet from great.

I bought this book after it was recommended at a seminar and I have to say it was one of the best books that I bought in 2009. If you have ever felt like your business is not working or are thinking of closing it down and locking it up. Then read this book first it may give you some inspiration.Truly a great book coming from the Napoleon Hill Foundation and written really well and easy as you follow the journey of Greg.I enjoyed it I hope you do too 5*
