Produktbeschreibung
The book was commissioned at the request of Andrew Carnegie, at the conclusion of a multi-day interview with Hill. It was said to based upon interviews with over 100 American millionaires, including self-made industrial giants such as Henry Ford, J. P. Morgan, John D. Rockefeller, Alexander Graham Bell and Thomas Edison, across nearly 20 years. The Law of Success was first presented as a lecture, and was delivered by its author in many major cities and in many smaller localities throughout the United States over a period of more than seven years. The Inc magazine included this among the "14 Great Books for Anyone Who Wants Get Ahead in Life". Hill was born in a one-room cabin near the Appalachian town of Pound in southwest Virginia. His parents were James Monroe Hill and Sarah Sylvania (Blair) and he was the grandson of James Madison Hill and Elizabeth (Jones). His grandfather came to the United States from England and settled in southwestern Virginia in 1847. At the age of seventeen, Hill graduated from high school and moved to Tazewell, Virginia, to attend business school. In 1901, Hill accepted a job working for the lawyer Rufus A. Ayers, a coal magnate and former Virginia attorney general.
Autorenporträt
Napoleon Hill was an early life-coach. Born in 1883 in Wise County, Virginia, he first worked as a secretary, a "mountain reporter" for a local newspaper, a manager of a coal mine and a lumber yard. However, his life changed when he got the job as a journalist for Bob Taylor's Magazine where he became the protégé of steel magnate Andrew Carnegie, the richest man of his time and author of How to Win Friends and Influence People. Under Carnegie's guidance, Hill interviewed the greatest industrialists and self-made millionaires of the era to discover the principles that guided them to success. Twenty years of research later, Hill described the secrets he learnt in Think and Grow Rich, the classic guide and all-time bestseller for success in money-making endeavours. Hill authored over 30 books and acted as an informal adviser to Presidents Woodrow Wilson and Franklin D. Roosevelt. The motivational pioneer died in 1970, but his wisdom lives on in Think and Grow Rich, which has sold an estimated 100 million copies worldwide.
