Introduction to the book “Think and Grow Rich,” by Napoleon Hill* What do Henry Ford, Bill Gates and Michael Jordan all have in common? They designed their lives using the principles in Napoleon Hill’s Classic, Think and Grow Rich. Think and Grow Abundant, could well be a revised title because the principles discussed apply to all areas of our lives not just financial. They are very much in line with what is talked about in, The Secret. Although we will be studying a book this group will be more …

Other ideas include having a monthly first edition book club, going to see movies with a literary theme or texture to them, and going to au …

Do you want a place where you can discuss your deepest feelings about yourself and the society we live in, in a supportive atmosphere? Many times, the culture we live in frowns upon sharing emotions, problems, anything that's really on our minds. We're expected to put up a front of "Everything's okay" all the time. But this just creates social isolation. The more isolated we are from each other, the more chance depression and anxiety have to breed. I am starting this group because I am not satis …
