Publisher's summary

Napoleon Hill's Golden Rules: The Lost Writings consists of a series of magazine articles Napoleon Hill wrote between 1919 and 1923 for Success Magazine. Hill's obsession with achieving material success led him out of the poverty-stricken Appalachian Mountains and filled him with the desire to study successful people.

These articles focus on Hill's philosophy of success, drawing on the thoughts and experiences of a multitude of rags-to-riches tycoons, showing listeners how these successful people achieved such status. Hill's popularity continues to this day, as many of his writings, such as the chapter on Law of Attraction, have recently become the basis of several bestselling books (including The Secret!). Discover the principles that will assure you success!

tough to get through

I've listened to just about every N. Hill book and this was the toughest to listen to. The last chapter is excellent which is about the Golden Rule but most of the first 11 chapters are not all that inspiring. I guess there is a reason these writings were "lost."

Golden Rules

This book take articles Napoleon Hill has written over the years in his magazines and put them in book form as he covers doing business following the Golden Rule, treating people the way you want to be treated. This is valuable for the entrepreneur if he needs a reminder or maybe a blue print in doing business with others. Its a really good book, but I enjoy learning from Napoleon Hill's writings.

One of Hill’s Best

Hill’s writings prior to “Think and Grow Rich” are my favorite. Along with the “Laws of Success” and “How to Own Your Mind,” he taps into easy to apply truths whose application yield a great return.

Magical thinking

This book seems to be based mostly on magical thinking which has been debunked by science. There is some good advice in here though

THE BEST BOOK

I am an avid reader of self help books and I have read Think and Grow rich several times. I must say the Golden rules may be an even better book. I urged anyone reading this to read this book and apply the lesson to your life.

Great philosophy on life, but boring at times

I enjoyed this book and it had a lot of valuable information on achieving goals and being happy. My only complaints are that it was mildly boring at times and it is out dated. The values and lessons are still applicable to todays times.

Timeless Thoughts and Rules

I’m always consoled listening to Napoleon Hill. I first read Think and Grow Rich decades ago. I have followed many of the principles and they’ve stood the test of time.

Interesting and motivating

Very motivating and a definite re-read! There was a chapter or two I struggled with but I was glued to all other content. We will see how the second time hit and I will take notes on this great material.
