Think and Grow Rich - Chapter 10

Principle 1: Power of the Master Mind

Napoleon gives the definition of power as, 'organized and intelligently directed knowledge'. Power, therefore, may be obtained through Infinite Intelligence, accumulated experience and experiment and research. Today, in the era of information, it is much easier to conduct research and countless scientific studies are conducted each day. As a result, knowledge can be easily acquired through research from plenty of sources and could be backed by science rendering them valid. As Dr. Anthony Fauci asserted, 'Science is truth'. 

The title being 'Power of the Master Mind', it also necessary to examine the definition of 'Master Mind'. Napoleon describes it as 'Coordination of knowledge and effort, in a spirit of harmony, between two or more people, for the attainment of a definite purpose.' Napoleon then explains the importance of perfect harmony of those people, since their minds would then be interconnected to send greater forces of energy. Napoleon provides the example of the Master Mind group assembled by Henry Ford. 
Similarly, billionaire Jack Ma, founder of Alibaba, points out that he always tried to find people smarter than he was and make sure they can work together on a shared vision. The collaboration of those smart people in perfect harmony, then, would result in inevitable success.
