10. Think and Grow Rich for Women, by Sharon Lechter: https://amzn.to/3U3WRyp

Women represent the future of business, and they are leading a silent global revolution for the good of their families, their future and their personal fulfillment. While the steps to success are the same for everyone, men and women, they are approached from very different angles. The original “Think and Grow Rich” book was written from a male perspective, in an era where the vast majority of business executives were men. For this and other reasons, Sharon Lechter – author and co-author of the worldwide bestseller “Rich Dad, Poor Dad” – created this work for women. Powerfully, the work applies Napoleon Hill’s wealth creation principles to the life of the modern woman, combining the classic 13 steps to success with the insights and experience of hundreds of remarkable women.
