Brandon’s Favorite Book: Think and Grow Rich by Napoleon Hill
“I read it for the first time 12 years ago and it was probably more about me being in the right place for the book. I had just gotten sober and was trying to figure out what direction I wanted my life to go. Most people falsely think the book is about money – it is about living a certain way that encourages success. Money can be a side effect of that success. I really like that it was written in 1937 and still so relevant. I feel that it is the base for soooo many books in the self improvement genre. I read it once every couple years for sure.”
