In Superhuman, Rowan Hooper delves into the lives of individuals who have achieved extraordinary levels of mental and physical ability. The book is structured into three parts – Thinking, Doing, and Being – and explores various characteristics such as intelligence, memory, language, and endurance. Hooper interviews 'superhumans' like Dean Karnazes, a prolific ultra-marathon runner, and Alexander Arguelles, a polyglot who speaks over fifty languages. He also discusses the latest scientific thinking and genetic studies to understand what enables these individuals to achieve such advanced levels of aptitude. The book challenges common beliefs, such as the 10,000-hour rule, and offers an inspiring and scientifically grounded look at human potential.

Published in 1937, 'Think and Grow Rich' is a seminal work in the self-help genre. The book is the result of over twenty years of research by Napoleon Hill, who studied the habits and achievements of more than 500 successful individuals, including Andrew Carnegie, Thomas Edison, and Henry Ford. Hill distills their wisdom into thirteen principles that, when practiced with persistence and faith, can transform dreams into reality. These principles include the power of desire, faith, specialized knowledge, organized planning, and the role of the subconscious mind. The book emphasizes the importance of maintaining a positive mental attitude, setting clear and specific goals, and taking consistent action to achieve success. It also explores the concept of the 'Master Mind' alliance and the need to overcome fears and doubts to achieve one's objectives.
