Napoleon Hill (26 October 1883 – 8 November 1970) was an American author who was one of the earliest producers of the modern genre of personal-success literature. His most famous work, Think and Grow Rich (1937), is one of the best-selling books of all time (at the time of Hill's death in 1970, Think and Grow Rich had sold 20 million copies).[2] Hill's works examined the power of personal beliefs, and the role they play in personal success. Most of his books described principles to achieve 'success'. Life and works: Napoleon Hill was born in a one-room cabin near the Appalachian town of Pound, in Southwest Virginia.[5] Hill's mother died when he was nine years old, and his father remarried two years later. At the age of 13, Hill began writing as a "mountain reporter" for small-town newspapers in the area of Wise County, Virginia. He later used his earnings as a reporter to enter law school, but soon he had to withdraw for financial reasons. Influence of Andrew Carnegie Napoleon Hill considered the turning point in his life to have occurred in the year 1908 with his assignment, as part of a series of articles about famous and successful men, to interview the industrialist and philanthropist Andrew Carnegie. However, whether this meeting actually occurred is widely contested.[7] According to Hill's latter books, at the time of his meeting, Carnegie was one of the most powerful men in the world. Hill discovered that Carnegie believed that the process of success could be outlined in a simple formula that anyone would be able to understand and achieve. Impressed with Hill, Carnegie asked him if he was up to the task of putting together this information, to interview or analyze over 500 successful men and women, many of them millionaires, in order to discover and publish this formula for success. As part of his research, Hill claimed to have interviewed many of the most successful people of the time in the United States. In the acknowledgments section of his 1928 multi-volume work The Law of Success, Hill listed 45 of those studied by him during the previous twenty years, "the majority of these men at close range, in person", like the three to whom the book set was dedicated, Andrew Carnegie, Henry Ford, and Edwin C. Barnes, an associate of Thomas Edison. Carnegie had given Hill a letter of introduction to Ford, who introduced Hill to Alexander Graham Bell, Elmer R. Gates, Thomas Edison, and Luther Burbank. According to the publishers, Ralston University Press (Meriden, Conn.), endorsements for the publishing of The Law of Success were sent by a number of them, including 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 also includes, among those of them personally interviewed by Hill, 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. Hill was also an advisor to two presidents of the United States of America, Woodrow Wilson and Franklin Delano Roosevelt For More Details: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Napoleon_Hill napoleon hill quotes napoleon hill books napoleon hill foundation napoleon hill law of success napoleon hill biography law of success napoleon hill napoleon hill think and grow rich the law of success napoleon hill napoleon hill laws of success napoleon hill audio think and grow rich napoleon hill laws of success napoleon hill books by napoleon hill napoleon hill book napoleon hill secret napoleon hill wiki think and grow rich by napoleon hill napoleon hill quote napoleon hill youtube napoleon hill pdf think and grow rich who is napoleon hill napoleon hill prayer w clement stone earl nightingale napolean hill napoleon hill the law of success think and grow rich pdf was napoleon hill a christian the law of attraction law of attraction think and grow rich audio bob proctor the science of getting rich think and grow rich summary positive mental attitude the law of success the secret dr napoleon hill think and grow rich quotes think rich grow rich think & grow rich by napoleon hill law of success brian tracy quotes napoleon hill books list napoleon hill wikipedia napoleon hill institute napoleon hill bio napoleon hill principles napoleon hill think and grow rich audio think and grow rich ebook the success principles think & grow rich napoleon hill laws of success pdf laws of success think and grow rich audiobook napolian hill think and grow rich secret inc and grow rich the napoleon of notting hill the laws of success napoleon hill napoleon hills napoleon hill mastermind group author napoleon hill
