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 [This] previously unpublished Napoleon Hill manuscript....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)

This book is a life changer!

It's almost like The Strangest Secret, The Power of Habit, and Think & Grow Rich all-in-one. Really great read!

Would be great without the constant interruption

I really love the concept of this book but I have to admit I got really irritated with the constant interruption of Sharon Lechter. She kept repeating and interpreting Napoleon Hill's words as if the listener wasn't capable of doing that on their own. It was like having Cliff's Notes constantly scattered throughout the book. The actual interview with the devil was GREAT! But again it kept being interrupted by her narrative. None of Hill's other books had an "interpreter. If anything, that might have been needed in the Law of Success which did have complex ideas and concepts in some parts. Overall I'm not sorry I purchased this book but maybe in the next edition they can leave out the "editor" interpretations and questions.

It could have been better...

Just when I'm getting into the dialogue of the two readers, this woman voice comes in with her unnecessary comments which disrupts the flow of the conversation. I would listen to this audiobook over and over if they would remove that woman from the discussion. It irritates me like to the point where I have to skip her in order to enjoy this audiobook. Please remove her.

Good, too many side comments

The book is amazing and details important ways that one can find their way to success without getting in their own way. However I found the commentary to be too much.
