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 [This] previously unpublished Napoleon Hill manuscript....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

Thought Changing

This book needs to be read and/or listened to by everyone looking to improve themselves or be successful. Hills approach to this book will force you to look at your circumstances and those circumstances forced upon you. This book if approached with an open mind will help you take a deep look into yourself and your own limiting factors and hopefully discover what's holding you back.

Powerful.

I love the genius of Napoleon Hill in making complicated things sound easy. This book is life changing and is been given to humanity just at the right moment. I will buy tenth of them to give as a gift.

A must-read for everyone!

this book goes against many of the fundamental values that we've been taught. It seems controversial only because it provides fact. Strip away all social constructions and there is truth and what Napoleon Hill has to say about the energies of the world and how we coexist in all dimensions. I believe this is a book everyone should read in their lifetime. The question is whether you're ready to accept the knowledge this book contains

Napoleon Hill's Best Work. Period.

I have tried and failed to complete Think and Growth Rich probably 5 or so times. Everyone else seems to love it but I always lose interest half way through the book. When a friend recommended listening to Outwitting the Devil for a cross-country drive, I was definitely reluctant. This book, in my opinion, is a masterpiece of knowledge and life lessons. Although written 70 years ago, it seems as though it was written yesterday. The audio version makes the conversation between Napoleon Hill and the devil extremely easy to follow. This is definitely worth the download!!

Changed my life

This book changed my life. Sharon Lechter’s interjections were startling at first but it’s nothing abhorrent to get used to. Highly recommend!

Great message

I love the book, but I hate the disruptive commentary. It’s totally unnecessary because the book is easily understandable without it.
