The method of thinking accurately The Law of Success Think and Grow Rich by Napoleon Hill In 1937, Hill published the best-selling book Think and Grow Rich, which became Hill's best-known work.

Hill's new wife Rosa Lee Beeland contributed substantially to the authoring and editing of Think and Grow Rich. Hill's biographers would later say this book sold 20 million copies over 50 years,

although as Richard Lingeman remarks in his brief biography, "Alice Payne Hackett's '70 Years of Best Sellers' suggests the amount was considerably less." Wealthy once more, Hill re-initiated his lavish lifestyle and purchased a new estate in Mount Dora, Florida.

The couple divorced around 1940, with much of the wealth from the book going to his wife Rosa Lee Hill, leaving Napoleon Hill to start his pursuit of success once again The Law of Success Napoleon Hill Think and Grow Rich is the number-one inspirational and motivational classic for individuals who are interested in furthering their lives and reaching their goals

by learning from important figures in history. The text is the original 1937 edition The Law of Success Think and Grow Rich written by Napoleon Hill and inspired by Andrew Carnegie Philosophy of Achievement Photograph of the head of a man with head tilted and rested on the back of his right hand while reading a book Napoleon Hill holding his book Think and Grow Rich,

1937. Hill's "Philosophy of Achievement," offered as a formula for rags-to-riches success, was published initially in the 1928 multi-volume study course entitled The Law of Success,

a rewrite of a 1925 manuscript. Hill identified freedom, democracy, capitalism, and harmony as being among the foundations to his "Philosophy of Achievement". He asserted that without these foundations, great personal achievements would not be possible...

The formula was detailed further in home-study courses, including the seventeen-volume Mental Dynamite series. Napoleon Hill claimed his philosophy was superior to those of others and that its principles

were responsible for the successes of Americans. Hill blamed failure on such emotions as fear and selfishness. The Law of Success A "secret" of achievement was discussed in Think and Grow Rich, buy Napoleon Hill insisted

that readers would benefit most if they discovered it for themselves. Although he did not explicitly identify this secret in the book, he did offer the following: If you truly desire money so keenly that your desire is an obsession, you will have no difficulty in convincing yourself that you will acquire it.

The object is to want money, and to be so determined to have it that you convince yourself that you will have it. . . . You may as well know, right here, that you can never have riches in great quantities unless you work yourself into a white heat of desire for money, and believe you will possess it.

The Law of Success In the introduction, Napoleon Hill states of the "secret" that Andrew Carnegie " carelessly tossed it into my mind" and that it inspired Manuel L. Quezon of the Philippine Islands to "gain freedom for his people."

Although he mentions a "burning desire for money" repeatedly throughout the book, he suggests that avarice is not his "secret" at all. Indeed, in The Law of Success, published nine years earlier, he identifies the secret as the Golden Rule,

insisting that only by working harmoniously and cooperating with other individuals or groups of individuals

and thereby creating value and benefit for them can one create sustainable achievement for oneself. He presents the notion of a "Definite Major Purpose" as a challenge to his readers to ask themselves:

"In what do I truly believe?" According to Hill, "98%" of people have few or no strong beliefs, which made their achieving success unlikely. Napoleon Hill declares that the life story of his son Blair is an inspiration

to him, claiming that despite being born without ears, Blair had grown-up able to hear and speak almost normally. Hill reports that his son, during his last year of college, read chapter two of the manuscript of Think And Grow Rich,

discovered Napoleon Hill's secret "for himself", and then inspired "hundreds and thousands" of people who could neither hear nor speak.

The Law of Success From 1952 to 1962, Napoleon Hill taught his Philosophy of Personal Achievement—Lectures on Science of Success in association with W. Clement Stone. During 1960, Napoleon Hill

and Stone co-authored the book Success Through A Positive Mental Attitude. Norman Vincent Peale is quoted saying that Hill and Stone "have the rare gift of inspiring and helping people" and that he owes "them both a personal debt of gratitude for the helpful guidance

I have received from their writings." The book is listed in John C. Maxwell's A Lifetime "Must Read" Books List. Napoleon Hill claimed insight into racism, slavery, oppression, failure, revolution, war, and poverty, asserting that overcoming these difficulties using his "Philosophy of Achievement"

was the responsibility of every human. Napoleon Hill Influence of Andrew Carnegie Later in life, Hill claimed that the turning point of his life had been a 1908 assignment to interview the industrialist and philanthropist

Andrew Carnegie. At that time, Carnegie was among the most powerful men in the world. Napoleon Hill wrote, after Carnegie's death in 1918, that Carnegie had actually met with him at that time and challenged him to interview wealthy people

to discover a simple formula for success, and that he had then interviewed many successful people of the time. The acknowledgments in his 1928 multi-volume work The Law of

Success, listed forty-five of those he had studied, "the majority of these men at close range, in person", like those to whom the Napoleon Hill book set was dedicated: Andrew Carnegie,

Henry Ford, and Edwin C. Barnes (an associate of Thomas Edison). Hill reported that Carnegie had given him a letter of introduction to Ford, who Hill said then introduced him to Alexander Graham Bell, Elmer R. Gates, Thomas Edison,

and Luther Burbank. According to Ralston University Press, endorsements for The Law of Success

were sent in by William H. Taft, Cyrus H. K. Curtis, Thomas Edison, Luther Burbank, E.M. Statler, Edward W. Bok, and John D. Rockefeller.

The list in the acknowledgments includes, among those Napoleon Hill wrote that he had personally interviewed, Rufus A. Ayers, John Burroughs, Harvey Samuel Firestone, Elbert H. Gary, James J. Hill, George Safford Parker, Theodore Roosevelt,

Charles M. Schwab, Frank A. Vanderlip, John Wanamaker, F. W. Woolworth, Daniel Thew Wright, and William Wrigley, Jr. Think And Grow Rich, by Napoleon Hill
