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

American self-help author Oliver Napoleon Hill was born on October 26, 1883, and passed away on November 8, 1970. His 1937 self-help classic Think and Grow Rich, which is among the best-selling self-help books of all time, is his most famous work. In his writings, Hill stressed that having high hopes is necessary for improving one's life. The majority of his works were marketed as laying out guidelines for achieving "success". Hill is a contentious character in today's society. Modern historians, who accuse him of fraud, also cast doubt on many of his assertions, including that he knew Andrew Carnegie and was a lawyer. He has been referred to as "the most famous conman you've probably never heard of '' by Gizmodo. Hill traveled to Tazewell, Virginia, after finishing high school at the age of seventeen to enroll in business school. Hill agreed to work for attorney Rufus A. in 1901. Hill's publications, which are recommended reading for New Thought, were influenced by Ralph Waldo Emerson's works and the New Thought ideology.
