Books by Napoleon Hill

Napoleon Hill was an American self-help author born in 1883 in Virginia. He began his career as a journalist and claims to have been commissioned by Andrew Carnegie to interview hundreds of successful Americans and compile their common principles into a philosophy of achievement. Think and Grow Rich, published in 1937, was the culmination of that project. Hill continued writing and speaking on success until his death in 1970. His work established much of the vocabulary and structure of the modern self-help and personal development genre, including concepts like the Master Mind, definiteness of purpose, and the power of positive affirmation.
