 THINK AND GROW
RICH 9 CDs : The 21st-Century Edition (Read by Michael McConnohie) by Napoleon Hill. Price: A$59.95 Nine CDs – 11 hours approx ISBN-10: 193242928X ISBN-13: 9781932429282 published 2005/2006 Back in Stock Again! The best selling success book in history (over 60 million copies) is now annotated and updated with modern examples that prove that Napoleon Hill's philosophy of personal achievement is as up-to-date as today, and still guiding those who succeed. The hallmark of the original edition of Think and Grow Rich was that in every chapter Napoleon Hill cited real-life examples based on his first-hand knowledge of 500 of America’s most successful self-made businessmen. This audiobook of Think and Grow Rich: The 21st Century Edition features the complete text of the original edition, including every one of Napoleon Hill’s stories, and carefully integrates into each chapter contemporary examples and commentary. For example, in the original Hill tells how Asa Candler took a country doctor’s recipe and turned it into the Coca-Cola phenomenon. This new audiobook edition not only tells the Asa Candler story, but it adds the stories of Debbie Fields and Mrs Fields Cookies, Howard Schultz and Starbucks, and how Paul Newman launched Newman’s Own brand products. These modern parallels clearly demonstrate that Hill’s principles are as up-to-date as today, and still guiding those who succeed. The 21st-Century Edition also correlates the latest management theories with Hill’s Principles of Success, and cross-references his Success Consciousness techniques with today’s motivational bestsellers. It clearly demonstrates that Napoleon Hill’s classic anticipated concepts as contemporary as Emotional Intelligence and Creative Visualization, and that the methods taught by superstars such as Tony Robbins and Steven Covey are perfectly aligned with his philosophy of personal achievement.

 HOW THE MIGHTY FALL : And
Why Some Companies Never Give In by James C Collins.Price: A$39.95 hb - 240 pages ISBN-10: 1847940420 ISBN-13: 9781847940421 June 2009 "Whether you prevail or fail, endure or die, depends more on what you do to yourself than on what the world does to you." –Jim Collins Amidst the desolate landscape of fallen great companies, Jim Collins began to wonder: How do the mighty fall? Can decline be detected early and avoided? How far can a company fall before the path toward doom becomes inevitable and unshakable? How can companies reverse course? In How the Mighty Fall, Collins confronts these questions, offering leaders the well-founded hope that they can learn how to stave off decline and, if they find themselves falling, reverse their course. Collins' research project—more than four years in duration—uncovered five step-wise stages of decline: • Stage 1: Hubris Born of Success • Stage 2: Undisciplined Pursuit of More • Stage 3: Denial of Risk and Peril • Stage 4: Grasping for Salvation • Stage 5: Capitulation to Irrelevance or Death By understanding these stages of decline, leaders can substantially reduce their chances of falling all the way to the bottom.
