The Law of Success

Publisher's Summary

Napoleon Hill, born into poverty in 1883, began writing as a reporter for small town newspapers while just a teenager. Industrialist Andrew Carnegie commissioned him in 1908 to interview over 500 successful men and women to help prove his theory that success could be distilled down to a clear-cut formula. In 1928, Hill's Philosophy of Achievement was published as The Law of Success. This life-changing guide has sold millions of copies and was his first master work before Think and Grow Rich, one of the best-selling books of all time.

Now you can hear 24 hours of the incredible philosophy upon which personal success is built, including:

The Master Mind...who can profit most by the Law of Success philosophy and your six most dangerous enemies

A Definite Chief Aim...instructions for applying its principles

Self-Confidence...heredity, the self-confidence formula, and the power of habit and discontentment

The Habit of Saving...walls of limitation, the slavery of debt, mastering the fear of poverty, "I have made a million dollars but I haven't got a cent," and opportunities that come to those who save

Initiative and Leadership...the penalty of leadership and intolerance

Imagination...how it relates to success

Enthusiasm...how it affects you and others, the psychology of good clothes, and the seven deadly horsemen

Self-Control...why poverty is the richest experience that can come to a child

The Habit of Doing More Than Paid For...The Law of Increasing Returns!

Pleasing Personality...three different plans

Accurate Thought...the principles involved in accurate thinking and a chief aim

Concentration...persuasion vs. force

Co-Operation...power through co-operation and your standing army

Failure...the turning points to opportunity

Tolerance...the plan

The Golden Rule...the power of prayer

Terrific Guide to Success

I believe I first read Think & Grow Rich about 30 years ago. I recently heard about this book and when I found it on Audible.com I had to check it out. Even though its quite long the chapters are in very well organized segments. Mr Hill's message is powerful medicine and the narrator does an excellent job. There is more value in this one book than in a dozen other self-help books and it should be required reading for anyone who wants to improve their position in life. I also believe it would be a great addition to the reading list for young people today who are just beginning their great journey through life. Highly recommended.

An Incredible Audio!

Napolean Hill was a man of humble beginnings and great intellect. His book, Think & Grow Rich was required reading for a marketing course I took in college. While that book was great, it was just the beginning. The Law of Success is even more incredible. It will make you rich, in both the depth of your soul and financially. Hill's 20 years of interviews with the most successful people will change your life as it did mine. Listen to its many hours slowly, take notes and reap the rewards from this incredible audio.

Ultra-great Value for a 24+ Hours Audiobook

Great narrator, and loaded with useful tips and principles of success. This book teaches timeless principles. The Laws of Success is the true masterpiece of Napoleon Hill. Think & Grow Rich is a trimmed and summarized version of The Laws of Success. This audiobook is the first time that The Laws of Success comes in such audio version. This is a great audio to put into my iPod and iPhone!!

Eighty years later and it's still relevant

Although the longest audiobook I've listened to to date, I thoroughly enjoyed every minute. Of course, the classic book from Napoleon Hill is just a goldmine of useful information, but the narration by Grover Gardner was spot on. 24 hours is a long time to listen to the one voice (I listen whilst commuting and it took two weeks to get through) but Gardner spoke with such ease and familiarity that it was as though he wrote the book, unlike some books where you can tell the narrator has no idea of that of which he is narrating. Well worth it!

Now I will purchase the hard copy!

From understanding the core principles of mind-to-mind power to realizing there is more than one way to relieve one's self of a headache, Dr. Hill tells it all. Now it is time to purchase the hard copy and begin to study his teachings for everlasting knowledge.

Don't miss it

It is the father of all self-improvement ideas. A holistic approach to all kind of success in life. You will never regret spending the 24 hours that is needed to finish the book. And more than that, it would be hard not to repeat the experience and have a second listen to the whole thing.

Find an abridged version

The book was ok and offered some valuable lessons, but the book could have been cut in half. The author spends a lot of time defending/justifying his reasoning for including each lesson, rather than just presenting the lesson. It could easily have been condensed with no information lost.

AMAZING! waited for this book whole my life

I was amazed to listen to this book and so you know it's impossible to listen to it just once even though its so long audiobook.

This author was ahed of his times...

His laws are to the point and not new age like you tend to see it and read it in many other books. I do believe if you will follow what he says we would all have what we want.
This book should be mandatory in any school. It motivated me to buy this book in paper because the information was so reach and I just couldn't stop the audio to write it down or give it more thought to it.

Read it and you will be happy you did.

Great information and opened my mind

This book is outdated but the material is still relevant today. I gave it 4 stars because the examples are so outdated and it made it hard to relate to the example. I am a 32 year old female and wanted some insight on how to become a better leader and more successful in my job. This book motivated me to become a better person and leader. I would recommend if you want some leadership and self-improvement guidance.

Very long but very well read

The problem with "ghost readers" is they often read someone else's work incorrectly with the wrong emphasis on the wrong words.

This reading is an exception to this rule: the voice is pleasant and one can almost imagine that this really is Napoleon Hill himself.

Some of the ideas are bizarre - lots on telepathy and atoms - but most is very helpful and encouraging for anyone needing to relax a bit more and become more attune to the opportunities around them, and more aware of the wealth within them.

A timeless classic

Beautiful prose besides, this book should be prescribed reading for e everybody.... or narration for those that find reading a chore or a bore. It's messages are many and essential to saving so much wasted time and emotion spent on an otherwise haphazard journey of life.
