Think & Grow Rich:   Black Choice

Over the course of seven years, writer, consultant, and college professor, Dr. Dennis Kimbro studied the methodology of motivational giant Napoleon Hill, author of the phenomenal best seller Think and Grow Rich.  Using Think and Grow Rich as a reference, Dr. Kimbro decided to do what Hill had done in the 1930's.  He developed a survey to use among peak performing black Americans.  Two years later, he learned from the foundation bearing Hill's name that, Hill himself, had drafted a book in 1970 that explored the identical question.  Moreover, Hill had written nearly one hundred pages on the subject, which turned out to be his last.  After a personal meeting with W. Clement Stone, president of the Napoleon Hill Foundation, Dr. Kimbro was commissioned to update and complete Hill's original manuscript.  Think and Grow Rich:  A Black Choice, the results of Dr. Kimbro and Hill's efforts, distills the secrets of success contained in the lives of peak performing men and women, and reveals how readers can use

utilize these keys to make their dreams come true.

What Keeps Me Standing

In his previous bestsellers, Think and Grow Rich and What Makes the Great Great, Dennis Kimbro revealed the success secrets of highly touted entrepreneurs, corporate climbers, and Olympic athletes, as well as famous black Americans from George Washington Carver to Bill Cosby, Oprah Winfrey, and Ben Carson.  In What Keeps Me Standing, he turns to another group of sages and mentors:  the grandmothers who have long been the backbone of the African American family and community.

Over a period of five years, Kimbro contacted one thousand grandmothers--women from a wide range of backgrounds and locations--asking, "If you had to write a one page letter to your children or the next generation, what would you tell them about life?"  Their answers, collected here, show that success in life cannot be measured in terms of wealth and material goods alone.  The lives they describe and the advice they proffer capture both a richness in spirit and a strong belief in the power of every individual to take charge of his or her own destiny.  In the face of racism, both blatant and subtle, financial struggles, and personal setbacks, black grandmothers have helped their communities in thousands of tangible and intangible ways, providing support, inspiration, and love not only to their own children and grandchildren but also to neighbors, friends, and extended families.

Filled with examples of how even the smallest acts of kindness and compassion can make a difference in the world, What Keeps Me Standing is a treasure trove of the wisdom that comes with years of experience, transformation, and growth. It is the perfect gift.
