.While the book's title and much of the text concerns increased income, the author insists that the philosophy taught in the book can help people succeed in any line of work, to do and be anything they can imagine.First published during the Great Depression at the time of Hill's death in 1970, Think and Grow Rich had sold more than 20 million copies, and by 2015 over 100 million copies had been sold worldwide. It remains the biggest seller of Napoleon Hill's books. BusinessWeek magazine's Best-Seller List ranked it the sixth best-selling paperback business book 70 years after it was published. Think and Grow Rich is listed in John C. Maxwell's A Lifetime "Must Read" Books List. A good part of Hill's book is simply the gospel of 20th century American Capitalism: work hard, have a firm handshake, get ahead by doing quality work, treat your customers with respect, anybody can become rich and/or powerful if they overcome their personal weaknesses. Some may find the core 'secret' of this book elusive; Hill never gives us a succinct formula to acquiring wealth, although he hints that it exists. However, the title of the book is 'Think and Grow Rich,' not 'Get Rich Quick': Hill insists that we take a very detailed personal inventory, and grow spiritually, in order to draw wealth our way. This involves a developing a high level of self-discipline and obeying the Delphic injunction to 'Know Thyself'. He also incorporates a lot of good, practical business advice: find new opportunities created by technological innovations, make a written plan and keep to it, don't be afraid to fail repeatedly. The secret is here, it is just simply the sum of parts rather than an explicit roadmap.
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.
