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

[Arun Narayanaswamy · Rating 2 out of 5]

I am surprised that this book has so many positive reviews.
The author does not go deep into any topic and is all over the place in terms of content. Maybe this made sense in early 1900’s and people fell for this, it’s totally pointless content and worse is the way of writing.
People who read will understand this.

Some of the 17 lessons he gives are a little stretched, in my opinion, but others are worthy of consideration.

Short and to the point.
