The best-selling self-help book Think and Grow Rich reveals the secrets that can bring you a fortune.
Napoleon Hill was born in a one-room cabin in Southwest Virginia in 1883 and rose to become a prominent American author and advisor to presidents. Hill began writing as a reporter when he was just thirteen and later used his earnings to go to law school. However, he withdrew from law school for financial reasons. Meeting Andrew Carnegie on one of his reporting assignments was a pivotal moment. Carnegie commissioned Hill to interview 500 very powerful men and women and to publish a book discovering and explaining their recipe for success. The resulting book was The Law of Success. His most famous book, Think and Grow Rich, published in 1937, is one of the best-selling books of all time. Hill became an advisor not just to Andrew Carnegie, but also to Presidents Woodrow Wilson and Franklin D. Roosevelt. After many years of writing, teaching, and lecturing, about his Philosophy of Achievement, Hill died in 1970.
