About the Author

Napoleon Hill was born in 1883 in a one-room cabin on the Pound River in Wise County, Virginia. He began his writing career at age 13 as a mountain reporter for small town newspapers and went on to become America s most beloved motivational author. Hill passed away in November 1970 after a long and successful career writing, teaching, and lecturing about the principles of success. Dr. Hill s work stands as a monument to individual achievement

and is the cornerstone of modern motivation. His book, Think and Grow Rich, is the all-time bestseller in the field. Hill established the Foundation as a nonprofit educational institution whose mission is to perpetuate his philosophy of leadership, self-motivation, and individual achievement. His books, audio cassettes, videotapes, and other motivational products are made available to you as a service of the Foundation so that you may build your own library of personal achievement materials...and help you acquire financial wealth and the true riches of life.

Overview

Napoleon Hill is most commonly known for his book Think and Grow Rich. This text is in my top three of “must read books”. However, his book Outwitting the Devil is a quicker, easier read and teaches many of the same lessons. It’s also one of the most fascinating books you can read for two reasons.

First, the book is structured as a dialogue between the protagonist and the devil — that’s a unique conversation without a doubt! The protagonist gets the devil to agree to share with him all the various ways that he leads persons astray. Rather than lecturing the reader on the right way to behave, Hill highlights the many ways that you can drift off course.

Second, while the book was written in 1938, it was not published until 2011! That’s because Hill’s wife worked as an administrative assistant to the president of a religious based university. Hill was worried that his wife’s boss would not be enamoured with the concept that the spouse of his assistant was having fictitious conversations with Lucifer!

THE BIG TAKEAWAYS:

Fear is the biggest obstacle in the way of success.

Becoming a regular victim of bad habits is a guaranteed recipe for doom.

Self-determination differentiates you from the useless ones.

Failure is the greatest teacher.

Having faith in yourself and being positive is the most important trait of a successful person.
