I think you guys are all missing the point of the book. As Napoleon Hill says in the beginning, some people will get the secret in the first few pages, some will get it in the last few and some might not get it at all.
The book is meant to show that all people who become very successful have one main thing in common. Every single one of them has a DESIRE to be successful so powerful that nothing will stop them. They wanted it, just like MJ wanted it. He wanted it so bad he moved away from friends and family and busted his a$$ until he got it.
I didn't take it as a book to motivate me because I am already motivated. I already have the DESIRE. I guess if you don't have the DESIRE then you won't understand and therefore, the reason that you don't get it.
The DESIRE is something every successful person he interviewed had in common. He did not interview them before they became wealthy. He interviewed them after. When they were already there and found the one thing in common that got them there.
The book is not about looking in the mirror and telling yourself you can do it. What I took from it is that if you don't have that DESIRE deep inside you then you will never have and therefore will never reach your maximum potential. You might want to have money, wealth and freedom but without the DESIRE to do so, you will never get there.
IMO, if your looking for a self help book to motivate you to reach financial freedom then you most likely will never reach it.
