About
Napoleon Hill:
Napoleon Hill (
October 26, 1883 --
November 8,
1970) was an
American author in the area of the new thought movement who was one of the earliest producers of the modern genre of personal-success literature. He is widely considered to be one of the great writers on success. 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). Hill's works examined the power of personal beliefs, and the role they play in personal success. He became an advisor to
President Franklin D. Roosevelt from 1933 to 1936. "
What the mind of man can conceive and believe, it can achieve" is one of Hill's hallmark expressions. How achievement actually occurs, and a formula for it that puts success in reach of the average person, were the focal points of Hill's books.
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. At the time,
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.
The secret of achievement was tantalizingly offered to readers of Think and Grow Rich, but Hill felt readers would benefit most if they discovered it for themselves. Although most readers feel that he never explicitly identified this secret, he offers these words about 20 pages into the book: 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 actually believe you will possess it. However, Napoleon Hill also states at the introduction that the secret that the 'canny, lovable old
Scotsman carelessly tossed it into my mind' (Andrew Carnegie) was also the same secret that
Manuel L. Quezon (then
Resident Commissioner of the
Philippine Islands) was inspired by to 'gain freedom for his people, and went on to lead them as its first president.' And although a burning desire for money is mentioned throughout the book, it would be both presumptuous and folly to presume it is this which is the secret that Hill refers to, especially since the 'secret' is far more effective if realised by the reader when they are ready for it.
Today's philosophy-of-success teachers still use the research formulas taught by Hill to expand their students' knowledge of personal development
