Napoleon Hill: Adversity & Advantage: Achieving Success in the Face of Challenges

by Napoleon Hill, Satish Verma, Don Green (Foreword)

"This newly annotated work from the Napoleon Hill Foundation collects a series of radio interviews Napoleon Hill gave as the world healed from the Second World War. With the world still recovering from the wounds, physical and mental, that accumulated from the conflict, Napoleon Hill felt that he could not enjoy retirement without coming forward one last time to deliver this series of talks. Hill's message was that success cannot be achieved without failure. Strength and innovation in the face of adversity is the only true success--exactly the kind of message that many readers need to hear in the midst of upset and conflict around the world today. Edited and annotated by contemporary writer Satish Verma, this timeless wisdom still resonates. Hill gives his advice for conditioning the mind for success, identifying the three great markers of failure, and more, in this valuable and inspiring guide"--

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.

Interesting read and set in an interview format. It has basic advice that was stressed throughout the book. It basically can be summarized as going the extra mile and having a mastermind.

The premise of this book, that every adversity carries with it the seed of an equivalent advantage, is what drew me to this particular self-help book and keeps me returning to it.

The philosophy Napoleon Hill shares here and in his other books rings true because he lived it himself.
