The Law of Success

Before Think and Grow Rich, Napoleon Hill set out his full philosophy of personal achievement in The Law of Success: In Sixteen Lessons. Built as a complete course in self-development, ambition, leadership, cooperation, confidence, imagination, persistence, and disciplined thought, this classic work presents Hill's system for turning desire into definite purpose and definite purpose into practical accomplishment.First published in 1928 as a multi-volume course, The Law of Success became the foundation for Hill's later success literature and remains one of the major works in twentieth-century self-help and achievement writing. Its sixteen lessons include the Master Mind, a definite chief aim, self-confidence, the habit of saving, initiative and leadership, imagination, enthusiasm, self-control, doing more than paid for, a pleasing personality, accurate thinking, concentration, cooperation, profiting by failure, tolerance, and the Golden Rule. For readers of classic personal development, business motivation, self-mastery, and success literature, this edition offers the larger framework behind many of Hill's best-known ideas. It is both a historical landmark of motivational writing and a practical guide for readers seeking focus, discipline, confidence, and a clearer plan for achievement.
