Publisher's summary

“Napoleon Hill was one of America’s great, influential thinkers who continues to have an enormous impact today.” - Steve Forbes, editor-in-chief of Forbes magazine

Bestselling author Napoleon Hill reveals the seven principles of good that allow us to triumph over obstacles...and find success.

Using his legendary ability to get to the root of human potential, Napoleon Hill digs deep to reveal how fear, procrastination, anger, and jealousy prevent us from realizing our personal goals. This long-suppressed parable, once considered too controversial to publish, was written by Hill in 1938 following the publication of his classic bestseller, Think and Grow Rich. Annotated and edited for a contemporary audience by Rich Dad, Poor Dad and Three Feet from Gold coauthor Sharon Lechter, this book is profound, powerful, resonant, and rich with insight.

Critic reviews

"My simple faith is this: If we are created in God’s image, then we were born to create, and to create is to prosper. [This] previously unpublished Napoleon Hill manuscript.... I’ve read it and recommend it." (Rich Karlgaard, Publisher of Forbes magazine)

Great book despite commentary

Amazing, thought provoking, insightful, and the ideas were coherent and presented in an easy to understand format. Would have given it 5 stars except I could not stand the annoying bitch commentating. The book speaks about thinking for yourself and she doesn’t allow the reader to do this. Other than that definitely worth the read.

TOOK MY BREATH AWAY

What did you love best about Napoleon Hill's Outwitting the Devil?

His interview with the devil was RIVETING!!

What other book might you compare Napoleon Hill's Outwitting the Devil to and why?

This book is ONE OF A KIND!!

What does Dan John Miller and Phil Gigante bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?

Their voices really added to the experience! The voice of the devil was perfect!

If you were to make a film of this book, what would the tag line be?

Your life is about to CHANGE FOREVER!

Any additional comments?

First of all, if you are a fan of Napoleon Hill, why are you even reading my review? I should be reading yours!! The story behind when and why this hidden manuscript wasn't published until 2011 is very eye opening! This world is in so much turmoil right now, so when you hear the interview with the devil, you're going to think this was written just for what's going on today in 2015...not in the 1930's when it was written. Listen to it with an open mind and HEAR what you NEED to HEAR! There's a reason the devil proudly boasts that he controls 98% of the world population!! Try to discover if he has hooked you, too, and when you find out how to escape his clutches, TAKE THOSE ACTIONS NOW!!! I was so riveted by this interview, I couldn't stop listening... I'll be listening over & over, but a few chapters at a time, so I can take a lot of notes to remind me to examine myself daily! Don't let this day end until you get this book and start listening! It truly was one of the most eye opening books I've ever heard... Napoleon Hill has always been one of my favorite authors because his books speak the truth to me, but this is truly one of his finest books and it wasn't even published until over 40 years after his death. The devil even told him in the interview that if the 'earth bound one' tried to write the book, he would prevent it from being published. It's almost as if Napoleon Hill had already seen this happening. I feel like I went through lasik surgery and can finally see how the devil works to control and deceive us daily. Truly life changing for me!
