Napoleon Hill knew that even if the readers of his books learned the principles of success, many would not develop the habit of applying them. That common human characteristic was in large part what inspired him to create what he and W. Clement Stone called their “little magazine with big ideas”—Success Unlimited. They published the magazine specifically to provide Hill’s readers with regular infusions of the enthusiasm and inspiration that would motivate them to apply these principles in their own lives. Napoleon Hill’s A Year of Growing Rich features 52 of the most popular articles that appeared in the magazine. Each contains a message especially designed to stimulate you to develop the unlimited powers of your own mind.

You will find that reading and meditating on these tales of success will turn the concepts into powerful tools that will help you eliminate negative thoughts and replace them with a positive mental attitude and the habits to match. When you make the choice to live life in the positive sense, you will begin to see yourself and the world around you through new eyes. You will generate new ideas easily and you will recognize new opportunities that were not previously apparent to you. And you will find yourself focused on the achievement of your goals—full of enthusiasm to follow through with action.
