The single greatest guide to achieving success ever written! Think and Grow Rich, first published in 1937, took more than twenty years of research to compile. Napoleon Hill was a journalist and writer who later served as an advisor to President Franklin D. Roosevelt from 1933 to 1936. His big break came with his interview of Andrew Carnegie in 1908. Intrigued by Carnegie's assertion that the path to success could be broken down into a simple yet comprehensive formula, Hill accepted Carnegie's challenge to study and interview more than five hundred extremely successful individuals to determine to what they owed their vast achievements. This masterwork identifies thirteen principles that every person should adopt if they are serious about achieving success-all are empirically based in the aforementioned decades of research. Hill has synthesized what wealthy and/or exceptionally successful individuals have in common. This classic guide is one of the bestselling books of all time, having sold twenty million copies by Hill's death in 1970. With razor focus, desire, persistence, and perseverance you too can join the likes of Thomas Edison, Henry Ford, and Andrew Carnegie.

Based on a true story.
Miracles happen in places you don't expect them, even on the death row of Cold Mountain prison. There, John Coffey, a gentle giant of an inmate with supernatural powers, conveys a spirit of inner strength and humanity to the jailers and to his fellow inmates. Tom Hanks heads a stellar company (including Michael Clarke Duncan as Coffey) in this touching, hopeful story of jailers, inmates, spouses and an unusual mouse named Mr. Jingles; and on another level, of a filmmaker and his inspiration. That filmmaker is Frank Darabont, who is back after his 1994 debut The Shawshank Redemption, adapted another Stephen King story into a stimulating blockbuster that was nominated for 4 Oscars, including Best Picture.
