About the author

Oliver Napoleon Hill was an American self-help author and conman. He is best known for his book Think and Grow Rich (1937), which is among the best-selling self-help books of all time. Hill's works insisted that fervid expectations are essential to improving one's life. Most of his books were promoted as expounding principles to achieve "success".
Hill is a controversial figure. Accused of fraud, modern historians also doubt many of his claims, such as that he met Andrew Carnegie and that he was an attorney.

Reviews

[Lakecia Allison · Rating 5 out of 5]

There are several books I read at least once a year. This is one of those books. Sometimes I need to refresh myself on how to outwit the devil.

[Chancellor · Rating 3 out of 5]

The book is certainly interesting. Well written, straight forward and fairly concise.
Problem is, it dives into the realm of idolatry. The author was a deeply troubled man, who lost his enthusiasm for life as he aged.
There are some interesting concepts, but this is not the place to seek knowledge.

[Enmanuel Sanchez · Rating 3 out of 5]

I would rate it 2.5/5 if that rating was an option.

[Nom De Plume · Rating 2 out of 5]

weird dialogue with the "devil" on how systems keep people from self actualizing. I think it was overly simplistic.
