Produktbeschreibung

The Thirteen Steps to Riches described in this book offer the shortest dependable philosophy of individual achievement ever presented for the benefit of the man or woman who is searching for a definite goal in life. Before beginning the book you will profit greatly if you recognize the fact that the book was not written to entertain. You cannot digest the contents properly in a week or a month. After reading the book thoroughly, Dr. Miller Reese Hutchison, nationally known Consulting Engineer and long-time associate of Thomas A. Edison, said- "This is not a novel. It is a textbook on individual achievement that came directly from the experiences of hundreds of America's most successful men. It should be studied, digested, and meditated upon. No more than one chapter should be read in a single night. The reader should underline the sentences which impress him most. Later, he should go back to these marked lines and read them again. A real student will not merely read this book, he will absorb its contents and make them his own. This book should be adopted by all high schools and no boy or girl should be permitted to graduate without having satisfactorily passed an examination on it. This philosophy will not take the place of the subjects taught in schools, but it will enable one to organize and apply the knowledge acquired, and convert it into useful service and adequate compensation without waste of time. Dr. John R. Turner, Dean of the College of The City of New York, after having read the book, said- "The very best example of the soundness of this philosophy is your own son, Blair, whose dramatic story you have outlined in the chapter on Desire.

Autorenporträt

Napoleon Hill was an early life-coach. Born in 1883 in Wise County, Virginia, he first worked as a secretary, a "mountain reporter" for a local newspaper, a manager of a coal mine and a lumber yard. However, his life changed when he got the job as a journalist for Bob Taylor's Magazine where he became the protégé of steel magnate Andrew Carnegie, the richest man of his time and author of How to Win Friends and Influence People. Under Carnegie's guidance, Hill interviewed the greatest industrialists and self-made millionaires of the era to discover the principles that guided them to success. Twenty years of research later, Hill described the secrets he learnt in Think and Grow Rich, the classic guide and all-time bestseller for success in money-making endeavours. Hill authored over 30 books and acted as an informal adviser to Presidents Woodrow Wilson and Franklin D. Roosevelt. The motivational pioneer died in 1970, but his wisdom lives on in Think and Grow Rich, which has sold an estimated 100 million copies worldwide.
