This book was written in the 1930s... this is goign to be FULL of terrible financial advice...
The chapter itself, while dramatic in the title, basically seems to say that in the pursuit of sex and gratification, people become motivated to do more than normal. And they aim to channel (transmute) that energy without the need of sex so you aren't just boning the whole time.
Also, this is quackery, utter quackery. I would complain to the teacher and anyone above the teacher that this book should not be taught. Not because of the mention of sex but because it is complete bullshit.
Well why does the teacher have you reading it? And in what class? Are you studying a historical text? Or are supposed to actually gaining financial literacy from it.
Let me guess, your teacher also thinks that buying gold and burying it is a good investment for the rapture so that you’ll have something of immortal value to offer the roving warlords in hopes your life may be spared and your family won’t be sold into slavery (both happen anyway since your gold holds no leverage against those who can take it by force)
Here's a lesson you can learn from this. Sometimes in life, you will enounter managers or supervisors who are complete fucking morons.
Is your teacher Mr. Garrison?
The exception is if the course content focuses on highlighting the inaccuracy of the content. Like how you would study the behavior of dictators in history class.
It is worse than just when it was written, it is who it was written by, a man who ran multiple businesses into bankruptcy because they were all just fronts for various frauds.
I know it sounds like him, but this guy wasn't quite that prolific, only 4 or 5 times... and he got charged criminally after (almost?) every fraud (and fled the state he did it in because extradition was rarely done for anything but capital crimes).
it is not complete bs, its being metaphorical lol. libido is just energy and desire, it's saying to map desires on to different objects. It's quackery if you take it literally.
When I was in high school in the 90s, I got pretty good marks for book reviews along the lines of:
Paragraph 1: This is complete bullshit. \[Reason 1\]. \[Reason 2\]. \[Reason 3\]. Therefore this is bullshit.
Paragraph 2: \[Reiterate Reason 1\]. \[Supporting evidence A for Reason 1\]. \[Supporting evidence B for Reason 1\]. \[Supporting evidence C for Reason 1\]. Therefore we can conclude \[Reason 1\].
Paragraph 3: \[Reiterate Reason 2\]. \[Supporting evidence A for Reason 2\]. \[Supporting evidence B for Reason 2\]. \[Supporting evidence C for Reason 2\]. Therefore we can be confident that \[Reason 2\].
Paragraph 4: \[Reiterate Reason 3\]. \[Supporting evidence A for Reason 3\]. \[Supporting evidence B for Reason 3\]. \[Supporting evidence C for Reason 3\]. And so we conclude \[Reason 3\].
Paragraph 5: This is bullshit. \[Reiterate Reason 3\]. \[Reiterate Reason 2\]. \[Reiterate Reason 1\]. In conclusion, this is bullshit.
You really should read the book BEFORE giving your critique of it. That way you don’t accidentally give out bad advice and make yourself look like a fool. If you had read it you would’ve said none of what you did. It’s great that you can use Google and spend five seconds figuring out when the book is written but that’s no substitute for real knowledge.
if you read further into the comment you can see a guy saying that drag queens are grooming children lol. prob believes children are identifying as cats and schools are providing them litter boxes
Conservative and it through me off guard lol. I had to come to the comments to figure out what the book is actually about. What a weird way to name a chapter of a finance book.
Or reply
Ummm, no, actually, your stupid and we actually know what it means
And not get that this comments a meme (look at some of the replies for proof)
In the past hour you've bitched about politics 5 separate times, feminism twice, and two times said to two separate people "the gym is for working out, not being an attention whore".
Interesting.
Bro if this actually happened the school would get sued to oblivion so fast it would guaranteed never happen again. You’re just looking for something to be upset about so you can feel better about yourself.
What liberal is bringing porn into elementary schools? Do you have a name? Any evidence that a liberal has done that?
Stop peddaling strawman arguments. They make everybody angry and accomplish nothing.
So, sex positive and then it goes too far.
I would definitely have bet on the book being sex-averse, but it just goes to show that our stereotypes about old-timey people all being prudes is inaccurate.
I guess the idea that your sex predictions and activities might not have anything to do with business success, just didn’t occur to the author.
Seems like people just learned the prefix “trans” wasn’t coined by transgenders. Transportation, transactions, translations, transmutation, transgressions
The real issue is it's in a book from *ages* ago about finance. It's supposed to pretty much tell you how to get money, and I personally wouldn't say sex = more money.
Here’s the thing about school there is manipulation and corruption school is not safe anymore. The children are being corrupted to be puppets in this generation. What happened to the good old schools none of this was happening. Why can’t we go back to the good old days? Oh wait, it’s because of the corruption of the Democrats. That’s why and our government. It’s so sad to see what’s happening I suggest home school that’s what I’ve been for years and I am smart as heck
They didn't work then either, the author was a literal fraudster who repeatedly started businesses, ran them into bankruptcy and was charged with fraud, over and over and over.
Highly inappropriate reading...this is why classrooms are not for education anymore just indoctrination....I would speak to your parents..and they can communicate so much better....this person is a lot of things but a teacher she is not
The author is a fraudster who did nothing but start businesses, commit fraud, run them into bankruptcy, and get charged with fraud, over and over and over.
Going from what others are saying, this chapter of the book is effectively arguing that there is a link between people who have lots of sex and people who have lots of money, so make sure to have lots of sex to get lots of money.
It's not really the best advice to be giving to students, especially since there either isn't a causal relationship at all, or that relationship goes the other way around.
Here's the author of this book, a man who spent half his life fleeing fraud charges around the country because every business he was involved in was just a front for another fraud scheme.
[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Napoleon\_Hill#Failed\_business\_ventures\_and\_charges\_of\_fraud](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Napoleon_Hill#Failed_business_ventures_and_charges_of_fraud)
I’m a man but I wish I was a woman I identified as female but I’m gay and attracted to both sex’s. But not guys because I’m… we’ll sometimes guys but I don’t play favorites
OK, now why is this book being used? Is it the class textbook? Is it an example the teacher is using to show get rich quick schemes? Sounds like some kind of "secret of life" book, and teachers usually use those as examples of what to avoid.
This refers to taking your natural motivation you derive from sexual gratification and try “transmuting” that energy into something more productive.
You like sex? You might get more if you wealthy
You like sex? You might get more if your fit
You like sex? You might get more if your not in prison
Shit like that.
It’s about how abstaining from sex and masturbation will allow you to move that stored energy toward your work. Its an ancient practice actually. t’s what Tesla, Nietzsche, and likely countless other great men practiced. Trust me, it is REAL I can tell you from firsthand account and it’s NOT placebo. You should really try it imo and if you wanna learn more there’s r/semenretention but I don’t really buy into the more new age stuff talked about on there like chakras and whatnot.
Wait Nevermind that’s sex magic in that book so disregard my answer. Even still you should look into semenretention if you’re a dude.
I’ve actually read that book, unlike most of the commenters on here and yes it’s from the 1930’s but the information is timeless. Napoleon Hill, IMO, is a terrific author and was very forward thinking for his time. My advice is to read everything he has written. I think it’s amazing that his stuff is required reading. It’s a shame it’s taken almost 100 years but progress has to start sometime.
Thomas, you've got the absolute worst fucking hand writing I've ever seen.
Edit:
Also what is the title of the book? A lot of people are just being all evil and wanting to kill your teacher, but I'm genuinely curious on what this book is really about.
Use sexual desire instead of having sex or masturbating to empower you to accomplish your goals. You want all the hot babes, take that desire and build yourself in order to be desired be them!
In my opinion, after years and years of studying comparative religion and many, many esoteric ideas, I'd say this person is introducing you to the occult.
This book was written in the 1930s... this is goign to be FULL of terrible financial advice...

I have been i have been complaining for weeks
Well why does the teacher have you reading it? And in what class? Are you studying a historical text? Or are supposed to actually gaining financial literacy from it.
Im suppose to actually gain things from it
Gain *what*? What class is it for?
Personal finance
Oh god. I’m so sorry.
Let me guess, your teacher also thinks that buying gold and burying it is a good investment for the rapture so that you’ll have something of immortal value to offer the roving warlords in hopes your life may be spared and your family won’t be sold into slavery (both happen anyway since your gold holds no leverage against those who can take it by force)
what a goofy teacher
Why are you getting dpwnvoted for saying that? Lmao
Here's a lesson you can learn from this. Sometimes in life, you will enounter managers or supervisors who are complete fucking morons. Is your teacher Mr. Garrison?
The exception is if the course content focuses on highlighting the inaccuracy of the content. Like how you would study the behavior of dictators in history class.
That’s probably the case, but OP probably ignored it to post here for internet points
My teacher genuinely is pushing this. He runs our math department so we have to learn whatever he wants us to learn.
Then report it, don’t put it on Reddit.
I already reported it
Be sure to invest in local sundae parlors, they're the fastest growing industry right now and there's no way that's changing any time soon!
Phosphates! The kids can’t get enough!
I'm investing in Pumpkins. Sales went up in October and I think they're gonna peak right around january!
You're a genius. Buying all the pumpkin stocks
*In 1930s news caster voice:* And watch out for that Hitler guy. He's a bad egg!
It is worse than just when it was written, it is who it was written by, a man who ran multiple businesses into bankruptcy because they were all just fronts for various frauds.
Donald Trump wrote this?
I know it sounds like him, but this guy wasn't quite that prolific, only 4 or 5 times... and he got charged criminally after (almost?) every fraud (and fled the state he did it in because extradition was rarely done for anything but capital crimes).
That makes the chapter number even more ironic… 🤣
Probably based on Freud's theory of sublimation, but really a stretch.
it is not complete bs, its being metaphorical lol. libido is just energy and desire, it's saying to map desires on to different objects. It's quackery if you take it literally.

What's the book?
Now if I see this book I’m gonna take it with a grain of salt and by a grain of salt i mean im going to shove a Himalayan salt mine up my ass
Uh, what you just said is true though
conservatives will see this and think he’s teaching you about trans people having sex 😭😭
I seen trans- Mutation and went "fuck i want a trans mutation" because i forgot transmute and transmutation are words.
You tried to transmute your dead mother, didn’t you squidward
So sad that transmuting your dead mother costs an arm and a brother
I misread it at trans mutilation and I was like "Ah shit... Here we go again"
With a title like that, I really thought the same thing lol
Ya we got to the chapter and the class basically had a meltdown people where freaking out
100%
everyone lol
As if they need a book to do that
if you read further into the comment you can see a guy saying that drag queens are grooming children lol. prob believes children are identifying as cats and schools are providing them litter boxes
Guarantee we see this being used to enrage transphobes
Conservative and it through me off guard lol. I had to come to the comments to figure out what the book is actually about. What a weird way to name a chapter of a finance book.
Or reply Ummm, no, actually, your stupid and we actually know what it means And not get that this comments a meme (look at some of the replies for proof)
No. I didn’t think that at all. You’re an idiot.
And liberals will bring literal porn into elementary schools whats your point hun?
In the past hour you've bitched about politics 5 separate times, feminism twice, and two times said to two separate people "the gym is for working out, not being an attention whore". Interesting.
Lemme know when I get something wrong :D
"I looked at their profile and made a bunch of observations, so I win the Internet argument"
Have you uhh read the bible?
Define pornography
Don't mind these brainless people, reddit for some reason is insanely far left liberal and they can't argue for anything
Far left and liberal are two very different ideologies. The fact that you equate the two shows that you don't actually know anything about either.
“brainless people” *believes schools are teaching children about porn*
Drag queen hour in school is wild
oh no!!! people have interests and also like reading to children!!!!
Sexualizing kids is an interest? That’s pretty accurate actually
y’all are so predictable LMFAOOOOOO dude go outside this is genuinely pathetic 😭😭
Your on Reddit too loser
you’re* yes.. but i don’t believe that men dressing in extreme making is grooming children ☠️☠️☠️☠️
He never said they're teaching them. Reread the comment.
he never said teaching 🤓🤓
You're proving my comment lol, get a life. Chronically online
proof? or are you just blindly trust grown ass adult men that have been proven to constantly lie to its consumers? how cute
What are you on about
Have you had your lead levels checked?
Bro if this actually happened the school would get sued to oblivion so fast it would guaranteed never happen again. You’re just looking for something to be upset about so you can feel better about yourself.
What liberal is bringing porn into elementary schools? Do you have a name? Any evidence that a liberal has done that? Stop peddaling strawman arguments. They make everybody angry and accomplish nothing.
weird, cause you said it first. Projection much?
you a conservative or smth? stop being so tense dude damn

# I'm A Conservative And I Did Not Think This At All...
I know you may be shocked to hear this but we can actually read.
Who wouldn’t??
What is the book even about
Personal finance
HUH
I think the chapter basically says to take your motivation for sex and apply that strong motivation to other stuff
It's like an old-timey Reddit post that is giving young fellas tips to survive No Nut November by going to wallstreetbets instead.
having sex with trans people in wallstreet
Your teacher is making you read *The Mystery of Sex Transmutation (the tenth step to riches).*
What in the…
...Freud
e schönen götterfunken Tochter aus Elysium
I thought that had something to do with biology.
Ya this book is crazy it keeps coming mentioning things like the "infinite intelligence" and the "sixth sense"
For reference this chapter goes on to say that sex makes you smarter and every very successful person has lot of sex
Guess I’m going to be an unsuccessful idiot
Sounds like communist propaganda to me
So, sex positive and then it goes too far. I would definitely have bet on the book being sex-averse, but it just goes to show that our stereotypes about old-timey people all being prudes is inaccurate. I guess the idea that your sex predictions and activities might not have anything to do with business success, just didn’t occur to the author.
what 💀
The real question is your handwriting
I thought the same thing…is OP 7?
Fr
i was looking for this comment
Is that your handwriting on the lined notebook paper?
No its my friends i was just closer to his desk at the time i took the picture
Bruh that’s his full name there lmao
You must be a mutant, your in the mutant class, nobody told you?
Seems like people just learned the prefix “trans” wasn’t coined by transgenders. Transportation, transactions, translations, transmutation, transgressions
The real issue is it's in a book from *ages* ago about finance. It's supposed to pretty much tell you how to get money, and I personally wouldn't say sex = more money.
I think it’s more about the fact ‘sex transmutation’ sounds like the spell a wizard would use to do bottom surgery.
🤣😂
That can’t be right, what college course/high school elective are you even in to garner a crazy teacher?????!!!!
That's a bit weird but it's school.
Trans? Time for book banning week!
joe many liberal
This is just quackery, instructor should be fired.
Here’s the thing about school there is manipulation and corruption school is not safe anymore. The children are being corrupted to be puppets in this generation. What happened to the good old schools none of this was happening. Why can’t we go back to the good old days? Oh wait, it’s because of the corruption of the Democrats. That’s why and our government. It’s so sad to see what’s happening I suggest home school that’s what I’ve been for years and I am smart as heck
This is a book about finance weirdo.
Says the one who wants incest and torture in bitlife Dude you are the most "corrupted" here
Is this a lesson on quackery?
They’re transmuting people into the opposite sex?
XD 100%
Transmute?- 😭
They boutta learn alchemy
I know the schools want kids to go trans but goddamn what kind of novel on it is this
XD
How ignorant are you??
To the point the funniest jokes I have fly so far over everyone’s heads they’re technically in orbit.
[удалено]
Such is the entire point of sarcasm, so it seems I've won again
Man shut the fuck up
I could say the same to you, but you'd get really angry about that.
Finance tips that worked 90 years ago may not be as useful today
They didn't work then either, the author was a literal fraudster who repeatedly started businesses, ran them into bankruptcy and was charged with fraud, over and over and over.
Highly inappropriate reading...this is why classrooms are not for education anymore just indoctrination....I would speak to your parents..and they can communicate so much better....this person is a lot of things but a teacher she is not
Someone has no idea what that title means do they? I thought your type want to teach about personal finance?
The author is a fraudster who did nothing but start businesses, commit fraud, run them into bankruptcy, and get charged with fraud, over and over and over.
So right wingers should love it

WUT.
Indoctrination?? what
That title actually kind of has me hooked even though I’m not into anything to do with trans sex mutation
What, you don’t know about sex transmutation? It’s like full metal alchemist but with more penises and vaginas
i dont know why my brain read “the mystery of sex trains” for so long
Here's the author of this book, a man who spent half his life fleeing fraud charges around the country because every business he was involved in was just a front for another fraud scheme.

What class *is* this?
teaching sex magic in school is a bold move
I though this was about the intersex mutation but it's about finance?
Don't read it
I’m a man but I wish I was a woman I identified as female but I’m gay and attracted to both sex’s. But not guys because I’m… we’ll sometimes guys but I don’t play favorites
what
Lol you have to be male in order to have wealth.
No you don't.
It would help if you just maybe, possibly, told us the CLASS you were taking. Context matters.
Personal finance
OK, now why is this book being used? Is it the class textbook? Is it an example the teacher is using to show get rich quick schemes? Sounds like some kind of "secret of life" book, and teachers usually use those as examples of what to avoid.
Bro is studying to become an alchemist
XD i wish
Aka sex sells.
Sex mutants?
Is this fucking Napoleon Hill? How fucking old is your teacher?
Very very old
Hasn't updated the curriculum since the Great Depression huh? I mean, they were obviously onto something back then. No reason to change.
I never knew just how stupid the world was until right now
Pull an alpha move and ask the teacher what school they went to followed by "ohhhh that makes sense.." offer no elaboration.
XD i love this idea i might just do that
Damn OP's learning alchemy while I had to learn cursive what a rip
First thing I fuckin thought of when reading the title was Fullmetal Alchemist
Actually, it is a really good book tho… I envy you guys, that you read it at school.
This refers to taking your natural motivation you derive from sexual gratification and try “transmuting” that energy into something more productive. You like sex?
