Napoleon Hill

Need something positive to read about today?

Then read about the life of Napoleon Hill, a man who was born in poverty. His life changed after he interviewed industrialist Andrew Carnegie in 1908. Carnegie at that time was one of the most powerful men in the world and he provided Hill letters of reference to interview over 500 successful men and women, many of them millionaires, in order to discover and publish their formula for success.

The 20 years research resulted in the book, Philosophy of Achievement and in 1937, its distilled version "Think and Grow Rich" was published. That was his most famous and best-selling book of all time.

Here is a video of Napoleon Hill where he talked about his meeting with Andrew Carnegie.
