THE EXTRAORDINARY BIOGRAPHY OF NAPOLEON HILL |
|
|
Napoleon Hill’s books are so full
of personal stories, you may think you know all about him. But you
don’t know the half of it. And what a half it is!
Born into poverty in the backwoods of Virginia, Hill was the local troublemaker until his stepmother traded him a typewriter for his gun. By the age of nineteen he had made himself the youngest manager of a coal mine, then quit to study law, became a partner in a lumber business, got wiped out by the market, and reinvented himself as a business journalist—all before he was twenty-five. Almost everybody knows about Hill’s famous “brief” meeting with Andrew Carnegie that turned into a three-day marathon and set Hill on a twenty-year quest to codify the rules of success. But how did it feel to be a penniless writer in the homes of the most powerful people in America? Carnegie didn’t pay Hill a cent, so how was he able to start colleges and publish magazines? As is made very clear, the lessons that Hill ultimately taught to others in his books were often lessons he had learned the hard way himself. And his triumph is the perfect testament to the power of his conviction: WHAT THE MIND CAN CONCEIVE, IT CAN ACHIEVE. Even after his extraordinary rise to fame as a bestselling author, Hill's life continued to be a financial and emotional roller coaster. Not all successes, testimonials, and presidential appointments, there were also devious partners, challenges to his motives, estrangement from family, famous lawsuits, and even a run-in with the mob. A Lifetime of Riches is the real inside story behind those anecdotal lessons that made Napoleon Hill famous. |
