This ought to be 1 1/2 starsSharon Lechter and Greg Reid put together this allegory injecting it with advice for success. After interviewing a variety of high achievers, they created a story about a struggling, marketing wannabe. The young man's initial motivations and offensive actions metamorphose into a way of thinking, based in morality and shored up with exhortations from the elites that bring about significant changes in his life."Three Feet from Gold," is a feel-good remake of the book, "...

So this audiobook was hard to get into, but about half way in it got better. I like books that seem like a story to give you info to grow. In the beginning it felt like more facts, but this is still a great one. It wouldn't be my go to or one I recommend, but I still got some nuggets from this.

Three Feet from Gold goes into more details about success which was introduced in best selling novel, Think and Grow Rich. As a reader, i felt Three feet from gold is more relevant to people in their 20s-30s, who are in an ideal situation to mold their personalities to crack the success equation described in the text. With a very simple language and lot many anecdotes, the book describes the personal journey of Greg in writing the book. With lot of life hacks, the book draws inspiration from var...

I absolutely loved the structure. Mr. Reid used his story to frame the other success stories, almost like "The Canterbury Tales". It was definitely readable and easy to take notes on, as every worthy note was a quote from the people he was interviewing. I could also feel a personal connection to each of the people he interviewed because of the writing style. Thank goodness for Sharon Lechter!I wish he gave a little more information about the Napoleon Hill Foundation and how he actually wasn't fu...

Incredibly inspiring book with powerful lesson of persistence. Lesson learned - Never give up, finish what you've started. It's always darkest before the dawn. You are just three feet away from gold.

Very simplistic revision of Think and Grow Rich principles with a far fetched story.

“One of the most common causes of failure is the habit of quitting when one is overtaken by temporary defeat.” This interesting success journey allegory (or fable) is based on Napoleon Hill’s revolutionary bestseller Think and Grow Rich. It is about a young entrepreneur, Greg Reid (co-author as the character), who was struggling in his business and life, went through a life-changing series of encounters with some of today’s foremost business leaders and inspirational figures. When he was about t...

It was Hemingway who said to read for pleasure, and whatever else you get from the experience is the sum of what you brought to it. This is a book that reads simply and sometimes childishly, sharing nuggets of sage wisdom as digestible parables and pithy platitudes. I love it.If you are open minded and seeking to improve yourself in any way, this is a relatable tale of perseverance and purpose. If you want to be solely entertained, it is not for you. If you have no desire to change or improve yo...

The story about the guy who stopped three feet from gold is legendary. That's mentioned but the book is about some guy who experiences failure and is coached to success as he writes a book about the successful man's friends. The write is Sharon Lector is good but it really felt like it was written around the time of 'Think and Grow Rich' even though the people being interviewed weren't that far back ex. Betty Fields and Evander Holyfield. The strangest part of the book was the Napoleon Hill prop...

Never give upA great book on when you face adversity in your life,keep going let nothing stop you! No matter what your age or background you come from everyone can be a success! To all that participated in the making of Three Feet from Gold, Thank you! One day I hope to meet you and learn from you. Throughout my life I have stopped believing in myself,had self doubts and have definitely lived in the past way too much. To all this reaches,please pickup a copy of Three from Gold,you will be inspir...

The book itself is a quick read, has the feel of marketing materials with a happy ending, and vibes like a movie with many celebrity cameos, but it does offer interesting exercises and practical advice. Its use as a tool for self reflection makes it a worthwhile read, and it commitment to the Napoleon Hill legacy is laudable. The exercises are worthy of completion and the need for people to find a mission is quite insightful, as we all struggle with that in our professional and personal developm...

This book pays homage to “Think and Grow Rich.” Although I love that book, and I like the messages they’re trying to send in this book, I just could not get over the corny-ness of the story. Greg gets sent on free plane rides all over the country from a guy he doesn’t know so that he can meet with ultra successful people. He meets with them in random places like a hotel lobby, has conversations with them for what appears to be maybe 10 minutes, then he turns around and flies home. Also the way t...

Meh...I'm disappointed I finished this book. The message here feels like nothing but recycled maxims and anecdotes delivered in a 5th grade level (My current level of writing ability :-). After just completing The BLANK SLATE by Steven Pinker this just felt sorry. Don't read this book, READ Napoleon Hill's "Think and Grow Rich" in fact read it twice before you get your hands on this book.!

This is a great continuation of the principles of Think and Grow Rich. It's told in that familiar parable style like Richest Man in Babylon and Mentor The Kid and The CEO. It's quite long, but I actually think it's a strong point. It's immersive and covers so many different perspectives. The info is practical and applicable. It reflects what happens on the journey towards entrepreneurship which can sometimes be like Moses wandering in the desert. I like books that are interactive to a certain ex...

A real life anecdote of Greg Reid on how he overcomes the devastating challenges of life by applying the laws of Think and Grow Rich by Napoleon Hill.Enflamed by his purpose to succeed, he interviewed majority of the successful people and getting a counsel from them with the use of a little paper as a notepad for the tidbits shared by each mentor whom basically read the work if Napoleon Hill.In this book, he presents all the life principles that he learned from those interviews. what I like the

There are definitely some good nuggets of information in this book. Anything based off of Napoleon Hill's teaching would have to be. It is a worthwhile read.That being said, the language is simplistic and the stories come too easily. It was as if they rushed the storyline to get to the teaching point. That's fine if that is your goal, but it absolutely took away from the experience for me personally.

LOVE THIS BOOK. Story format based on Greg's journey of finding his own purpose. Years ago Napoleon Hill interviewed hundreds of successful entrepreneurs to create Think and Grow Rich. Now Greg follows in his footsteps a modern day Napoleon Hill interviews today's business legends. A really engaging read with a lot of profound pieces.

Great blend of lessons from Napoleon Hill's "Think and Grow Rich" with a modern story of a young businessman's own growth. It uses interviews from contemporary leaders and how they found their vision and strength to achieve their life goals. Definitely a keeper! I think I am going back and read Hill's original once more.

I've now read this book twice and I think the second time was a charm. It's a great blueprint for not giving up and creating your personal success equation. I highly recommend this book if you're going down a new path or feeling frustrated and down about the path you're on. It will help give you a boost and inspire you to keep going when all seems dismal.

This is such a great book. I love how it was easy to read and the flow was quick. This book is told like a story where a guy gets the opportunity of a life time. He gets to travel around the globe to meet some of the most influential and richest people. Each person he meets gives him advice. If you are look for a self development book this is a good one.
