Are you like me, so busy that it is hard to find time to sit down and read a book, no matter how good that book may be. Do you listen to audio books while you drive your car or when you work out? Do you just prefer to listen to audio books from your phone? Or maybe you like to listen to a book sometimes and also have a copy to read when the right time presents itself.
Well, today is your lucky day. The Audible version of Hindsight: They 7 Keys to Living Your Best Life just landed on Amazon and Audible. The book has been brought to life wonderfully by the super talented, Ric Chetter.

And, in case you are still on the fence about reading or listening to the book, here are two recent messages I received from people who have read or are reading the book now…
“I have been looking all my adult life for a way to shut-up the negative self-talk that was embedded in me through childhood and early adulthood – and Borrowed Belief [a idea shared in the book] is the first thing that has worked! A simple yet monumentally effective concept.”
And this one…
“To be honest, I had only left off on page 8 this morning… I just got to the bottom of page 27 and I’m speechless. The timing of this book is impeccable and before you even get into the “7 Keys”. This is the reminder I needed as I approach this new chapter of my life. Thank you. My review will be continued, just had to share my initial shock.”

Now back to your regularly scheduled program. Have a superfantastic day!
One of the most powerful principles hidden in the goldmine of knowledge called Think and Grow Rich is what I’ve named “The Pyramid Principle.” Now, I’m not talking about some mystical kind of pyramid power. And I’m not suggesting you go sleep in a pyramid or put a bunch of pyramids around your house or anything like that. No, this is a pyramid of some principles that will create incredible power.
The first chapter in Think and Grow Rich after the introduction contains the very first principle, and it’s the principle that Napoleon Hill calls “Desire.”
Hill taught that, “Desire is the beginning of all achievement.” In countless references throughout the book he describes it as a “white hot desire.” White hot!
That’s a term we don’t often see. But when he introduced the book in 1937 many people in the world were employed in these large factories where big kilns and big fires burned. A hot fire, the hottest fires-had a whitish color. Thus white hot!
So what he was trying to communicate in words of the day was that you needed to have the hottest desire that you could possibly create. That’s the first fundamental principle in whatever it is that you want to achieve.
The second principle of the pyramid also has a chapter named after it – Faith. Or, as some people might understand that term: Belief. Belief and Faith are first cousins. They basically mean the same thing.
Napoleon says Faith is the most powerful force on earth and you find references to that throughout all of the ancient wisdom. If you read the Christian Bible there is a passage in there about faith. It says that faith the size of a mustard seed is enough to move mountains. Since a mustard seed is a very small seed, the message is it doesn’t take much faith to do some amazing things.
He goes on to say that these first two principles, desire and faith, must be present to have any type of success at all. You’re not likely to move forward without both of those.
So you start with those two principles and then you add just one more. The principle of “Action” or what Hill calls “Decision.” With that the pyramid is complete and virtually anything you can imagine can be achieved by using its power.
Here’s how:
First, you use the principles in the order presented here:
(1) Desire (2) Faith (3) Action.
If you start trying to take action before desire, before faith is present, then you’re not going to act very long. In fact, your actions will be very weak because you won’t have a full commitment.
Now imagine a pyramid for a moment. On the bottom right hand of the base place the principle Desire. On the bottom left hand of the base place the principle Faith. And at the top of the pyramid place the principle Action.
Begin with Desire and once you’ve identified what it is, move to the left and begin working on your Faith in achieving that Desire. Now move to the top and take some Action — any kind of positive action toward your Desire.
And here’s why taking any kind of action is so important. After studying 25,000 failures he determined at the top of the list of their reasons for failure was the lack of decision, a lack of action.
But I’m sure you’ve also experienced as I have at times the feeling of inertia. So here’s a little secret for taking action. It’s based on Newton’s Law of Motion that you might remember from Science class. Newton found that a body at rest tends to remain at rest, while a body in motion tends to remain in motion. As long as you have inertia, you’re likely to continue with that inertia. But if you can create any kind of motion, any kind of action at all, you’re likely to continue in action.
So find some small action you can take toward your desire. Any kind of action counts. Maybe it’s just making an exploratory phone call or doing some web research.
That Action will produce some additional Desire (you move to the bottom right of the pyramid again) and you re-start the cycle. Each time you complete the cycle both your Faith and your Desire will grow. That’s why the Pyramid Principle is so powerful — it rapidly creates a “white hot desire.”
Once you get the Pyramid Principle started it takes on a life of it’s own. Each additional action feeds more desire. More desire feeds more belief. More belief feeds more action. And on and on.
That’s why it’s so powerful and that’s why this may be the most important “secret” to be discovered in Think and Grow Rich.

James Clear is best selling author of Atomic Habits. The book has sold nearly one million copies worldwide since being released October 2018. This is a rare and outstanding feat! James has been writing his blog since 2012. He wrote two articles per week, gaining 200,000 subscribers in just two years.
As an author and blogger, I am both inspired and awed. I admit it. I have bit of a professional crush on Mr. Clear.
I have even sent him a few emails thanking him for his awesome articles. I nearly fell off my seat when I got a reply! A famous person was answering my email. #socool #suchafangirl
When CEO of Thought Leaders Business School Peter Cook told me James was coming to Australia to speak with us at our quarterly immersion, I was bug-eyed with excitement. James Clear was coming to Australia and I was going to meet him in person. OMG.
When he walked upon stage I was beaming from ear to ear. My thought leader hero live and in the flesh. He was eloquent and gracious. He was generous with his sharing. He was as good as I had imagined, if not better.
My favourite insights from his talk and his book are:
Habits can help you overcome any circumstances to achieve potential. James learned to walk again after his head was smashed with a baseball bat in an accident.
Success is an aggregation of marginal gains. Little things really do matter.
The greatest returns are delayed. The blogs you write week after week payoff, eventually. Eating well day after day transforms your body, eventually.
We don’t rise to the level of our goals; we fall to the level of our systems. Develop better behaviour systems.
Life feels reactive, but it is actually predictive. What we repeatedly do and think creates the programming for our choices.
Master the art of showing up. Get good at getting to the starting line. The next step is easier after that.
Habits cast a vote for the type of person you want to be. A good food choice is a vote for being a healthy person. Saying thank you is a vote for being a gracious person. Conversely, skipping a workout without good reason is a vote for being someone who doesn’t honour commitments. Being rude to someone is a vote for being a hateful person. Choose carefully.
When it came to the book signing and the chance to meet him in person, I was first out the door. Lining up, my heart pounded. My chance to meet the man behind the work, a chance to make a good impression.
As I stepped up to shake his hand, I realised I had nothing to say.
This is what came out:
“Hi I’m Zoe.” No look of recognition. “I sent you an email.”
He smiled kindly with an expectant look.
My inside voice said: “Really? That’s all you’ve got? ‘I sent you an email’? You sound like an idiot. Get out of there now. Abort! Abort!”
I bumbled through the photo, and got the hell away. I was mortified that in my big chance to connect I was completely star-struck.
It turns out he was staying for dinner. Here was my chance to redeem myself. When the seat beside him became empty, off I went. What followed was a wonderful conversation about the business of authorship. He was curious about my books and generous with advice.
Here is what I learned about James Clear:
He is in service to his work. He believes passionately that we can live extraordinary lives. He believes the secret to doing so is a methodical commitment to a system of success built on science and proven results. He says,
“I know there are two ways to earn extraordinary results:
Luck
Obsession.”
But it’s obsession with these two things:
Knowing what game you’re playing, and
Caring deeply about your chosen focus.
James Clear cares. He is also very humble. He works hard on his work – sometimes 20 hours on a single article. Sometimes an article gets 200 or more edits. This is commitment to his craft.
As far as being star-struck, this is what I’ve discovered.
We can be awed by the results someone creates. If we focus only on the outcome, we can be overwhelmed and intimidated. If we focus instead on the qualities it takes to take on a process, a system, to create those results, then we give ourselves the chance to be inspired, to be encouraged to choose the extraordinary for ourselves too.
From James dear I choose this inspiration:
To be in service to the work. To be in service to my work, the work that fills my soul in service to leaders worldwide.
To show up every day, choosing my identity and proving it to myself with small wins.
To treat others with compassion, be curious, and smile with kind eyes.
Thank you James.

I have to say, the hardback version is really nice! It just feels different. Definitely better.
If you are on the fence between paperback and hardback, I’d say, hardback is worth the wait. If you’re a have your cake and eat it to kind of person, order the hardback and the Kindle version. Then read Hindsight on your Kindle now, and read it again when the hardback arrives. 🙂
