So Relevant, Even in Today's World!

What made the experience of listening to The Science of Personal Achievement the most enjoyable?

Napoleon's very motivated voice/narration. I really enjoyed his no B.S. delivery of some serious no B.S. material!

What did you like best about this story?

It's total application to today's life all these years later. What a sign of a true classic!

Have you listened to any of Napoleon Hill’s other performances before? How does this one compare?

I did listen to Think and Grow Rich. That was a bit redundant and kind of a no brainer. This book did have a few points that I've heard in other (really good) books, but to hear it from the original motivational speaker was powerful.

What insight do you think you’ll apply from The Science of Personal Achievement?

Keeping a positive mindset, ignoring any negativity within, stay the course using goals as a pace keeper. Simple stuff but in his delivery it sounds new and achievable.

Any additional comments?

A really good book one should most likely go back and read a few times.

Phenomenal Material!

What a blessing to have this compilation of Napoleon Hills work, narrated by the man himself available!The work he has produced is so powerful on its own, and yet, to hear his enthusiasm, and intonation, exactly as he intends it is powerful. You really get a sense of what an amazing man with a wonderful sense of humor and disposition he was. Make sure to add this volume to your library, you will not regret it.
