最能激励你走向成功的七本书Read and grow rich: seven habit-forming books of highly successful peopleMaster motivator Tony Robbins, profiled in a new Fortune cover story, has reached countless strivers over the years with his blockbuster bestsellers Unlimited Power (1986) and Awaken the Giant Within (1991). Now the giant of the self-improvement genre—literally, he’s six-seven—is rousing people to conquer their finances with his first major book in two decades: Money: Master the Game (Simon & Schuster, Nov. 18). Here’s a brief history of personal development literature’s greatest hits.新一期《财富》杂志（Fortune ）的封面人物是激励大师托尼•罗宾斯，多年来，他的两本超级畅销书《激发心灵的潜力》（Unlimited Power，1986）和《唤醒内心的巨人》（Awaken the Giant Within，1991），激励了无数奋斗者。

最近，这位自我提高领域的大师（他已经六十七岁），推出了他在近 20 年来出版的首部重要作品《金钱：掌控游戏》（Money: Master the Game）【西蒙与舒斯特出版公司（Simon & Schuster），11 月 18 日】现在让我们回顾一下史上最畅销的自我发展类图书：How to Win Friends and Influence People by Dale Carnegie (1936)《人性的弱点:如何赢得朋友并影响他人》（How to Win Friends and Influence People），作者戴尔•卡耐基（1936 年）Carnegie’s classic self-help book counts people as diverse as oracular investor Warren Buffet and murder-mastermind Charles Manson among its acolytes. The book, which comprises a recipe for getting ahead, has sold more than 15 million copies since it was first published. Transcribed with help from a stenographer (at the suggestion of a Simon & Schuster exec who heard Carnegie speak), this likeability manual spawned from a popular lecture course taught by Carnegie. Here’s a nugget of Carnegie’s counsel: “You can't win an argument. You can't because if you lose it, you lose it; and if you win it, you lose it.”这是卡耐基经典的自我帮助类著作，股神沃伦•巴菲特和杀人魔王查尔斯• 曼森都是本书的信徒。

书中包含一系列取得成功的秘诀，自首次出版以来已卖出超过 1,500 万本这本人际关系手册的出版得益于一名速记员的帮助（根据一位听过卡耐基演讲的西蒙与舒斯特出版公司高管的建议），内容取自卡耐基颇受欢迎的演讲课程内容卡耐基有一句名言：“你不可能赢得争论因为如果你输了，你当然也就输了；如果你赢了，可你还是输了Think and Grow Rich by Napoleon Hill (1937)《思考致富》（Think and Grow Rich），作者：拿破仑•希尔（1937 年）Urged by steel magnate Andrew Carnegie to research what underpins the fortunes of the world’s most powerful people, Napoleon Hill spent more than 20 years studying well-known financial front-runners. Inside he bottled “the Carnegie secret,” distilling knowledge from such captains of industry as Thomas Edison, Henry Ford, John D. Rockefeller, and, of course, Carnegie. Among those influenced by Hill’s “philosophy of achievement” is boxer Ken Norton, who cited Hill as inspiration after defeating and breaking the jaw of Muhammad Ali. As an L.A. Times sportswriter once wrote of the match: “The credit belongs to a famous man of the past named Napoleon. Not the Emperor of France; this one is Napoleon Hill.”拿破仑•希尔受美国钢铁大王安德鲁• 卡内基鼓励，对是什么支撑着全世界最有权势者的财富进行调查，他用 20 多年时间研究了最知名的富翁。

他在书中总结了多位行业领袖的经历，包括托马斯•爱迪生、亨利• 福特、约翰•D• 洛克菲勒和卡内基，破解了“卡内基的致富秘诀”受希尔“成功哲学”影响的名人包括肯• 诺顿，他在击败默罕默德• 阿里并击碎他的下巴后，表示自己受到了希尔的启发一位《洛杉矶时报》(L.A. Times)的体育记者曾这样描述这场比赛：“诺顿的胜利要归功于一位已故的名人拿破仑他并非法国的皇帝；他是拿破仑• 希尔 ”The Power of Positive Thinking by Norman Vincent Peale (1952)《积极思考的力量》（The Power of Positive Thinking），作者：诺曼•文森特• 皮尔（ 1952 年）Turn that frown upside-down: In the relentlessly upbeat world of post-World War II America, where everything seemed like it was on the rise and always would be, Peale optimistically codified simple procedures for “mastering the problems of everyday living.” Don’t be defeated, he counsels. The book “is written with the sole objective of helping the reader achieve a happy, satisfying, and worthwhile life.”不要眉头紧锁：二战后的美国一片繁荣，一切似乎都蒸蒸日上，并且会一直持续下去，皮尔乐观地编写出一套旨在“解决日常生活难题”的简单程序。

他忠告读者：不要被击败这本书“只有一个目的：帮助读者获得幸福美满、有价值的生活I’m OK—You’re OK by Thomas Anthony Harris (1969)《我好！你也好！》（I’m OK—You’re OK），作者：托马斯 •安东尼•哈里斯（1969 年）In the 1950s, psychiatrist Eric Berne expanded on Freud’s theories of psychoanalysis to develop his own system of diagnosis and therapy called Transactional Analysis. Rather than speculating about the unconscious mind to explain human behavior, Berne schematized social interactions—aka his “transactions.” Harris, one of Berne’s close disciples, took Berne’s ideas and ran with them, promoting the methodology in his pop-psych paragon I’m OK—You’re OK. Harris’ book became even more influential than Berne’s own and has made a host of pop cultural cameos, including in sitcoms like The Odd Couple, Taxi, and Seinfeld. The child, a transactional analyst might say, surpassed the parent.上世纪 50 年代，精神病学专家埃里克•伯恩进一步阐述了佛洛依德的精神分析理论，并形成了自己的诊断与治疗体系：交互分析(Transactional Analysis)。

伯恩并非通过推测潜意识来解释人类行为，而是将社会互动系统化——也就是他的“交互”伯恩的爱徒哈里斯继承了他的理论，并将其付诸实践，在其大众心理学经典作品《我好！你也好》中宣传了交互分析方法哈里斯的图书在影响力方面甚至超越了伯恩的作品，并曾在许多流行文化作品中出现，包括情景喜剧《单身公寓》（The Odd Couple）、《出租车》（Taxi）和《宋飞正传》（Seinfeld）按照交互分析师的说法，伯恩可谓青出于蓝而胜于蓝The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People by Stephen R. Covey (1989)《高效能人士的七个习惯》（The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People），作者史蒂芬•R•柯维（1989 年）Managerial magician Stephen Covey became a much sought-after exec-whisperer after publishing his seven-maxim wisdom. Offering sharp saws like Be Proactive (Habit No. 1), Think Win-Win (No. 4), and, well, Sharpen the Saw (No. 7), the book delivers succinct, 。
