Think and Grow Rich

I feel very conflicted by this book. On the one hand, I found that it had some very good advice - perhaps not in finances, but in how I should look at myself. In particular, I enjoyed the beginning of the book and the last chapter.

It was around the 75% mark that things just took a turn, however. People have already commented about Chapter Two, and I can take that with a grain of salt as being a product of the times, but I struggled a lot more with other ideas found in the book. Things such as, “Men are polygamist by nature and if a husband steps out on a woman it's because she's ignorant and couldn't keep his attention.” I just-WHAT??? Perhaps that's natural for the author, but a lack of sexual integrity isn't found in every single man just off the bat, that's ridiculous! Also, how baldness comes from wearing hats too tightly by men struggling to fit into society? Preposterous!

Again, some of these ideas were just wild and I was not prepared - especially since I was under the impression that this was a finance book. However, there are good introspective parts to this book that I enjoyed, and will ask myself the questions found in those particular chapters.
