Napoleon Hill's earlier work discussed the 16 principles to success based on long discussions he held with some of the most successful people alive at the time. In this title, he draws on those principles again and condenses them even further to help people apply them to their jobs, dreams and lives. In 13 laws, Hill shows that success is a factor closely related to Desire, Faith, Autosuggestion, Specialized Knowledge, Imagination, Organized Planning, Decision, Persistence, Power of the Master Mind, the Mystery of Sex Transmutation, the Subconscious Mind, the Brain and the Sixth Sense. One of the fastest selling books of its time, Think and Grow Rich expands on Andrew Carnegie's ideas that directed thought can help achieve one's dreams.
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.
