Napoleon Hill, born into poverty in 1883, began writing as a reporter for small town newspapers while just a teenager. When industrialist Andrew Carnegie commissioned him in 1908 to interview over 500 hundred successful men and women to help prove his theory that success could be distilled down to a clear-cut formula, Hill met with hundreds of the richest and most famous people of the time, including Thomas Edison, George Eastman, Henry Ford, Joseph Stalin, Theodore Roosevelt, F.W. Woolworth, Alexander Graham Bell, John D. Rockefeller, William H. Taft and Woodrow Wilson. Twenty years later, in 1928, Hill's Philosophy of Achievement was offered as a formula for rags to riches success and was published as The Law of Success. This life changing guide of 16 lessons has sold millions of copies for nearly three quarters of a century 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… 3 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

As America's most beloved motivational author, Hill's timeless philosophy has created more millionaires than any other book or success theory combined.
