NAPOLEON HILL HAS WRITTEN A SUCCESS COURSE FOR YOU!
Think and Grow Rich! presents, for the first time in the history of the world, the true philosophy upon which all lasting success is built. Ideas,
when translated into intelligent plans of action, are the beginning of all successful achievement. So Think and Grow Rich! proceeds to show you how to create practical ideas for every human need. It does so in easy-to- understand steps.
Napoleon Hill spent the better part of 25 years in perfecting this philosophy of success. During the long years he worked on it, some parts or the whole of it were reviewed and praised by many of the greatest
Americans of our times.
Among them are included four Presidents of the United States,
Theodore Roosevelt, Woodrow Wilson, Warren G. Harding, and William H.
Taft; Also, Thomas Edison, Luther Burbank, William J. Wrigley, Alexander
Graham Bell, Judge EH. Gary, Cyrus H. K. Curtis, Edward Bok, E. M.
Statler—dozens of other glowing names in politics, finance, education, and invention.
ANDREW CARNEGIE STARTED IT
More than 25 years ago, Napoleon Hill, then a young special investigator fora nationally known business magazine, was sent to interview Andrew Carnegie. During that interview Carnegie slyly dropped a hint of a certain master power he used—a magic law of the human mind, a little known psychological principle—which was amazing in its power.

Carnegie suggested to Hill that upon that principle he could build the philosophy of all personal success—whether it be measured in terms of money, power, position, prestige, influence, or accumulation of wealth.
That part of the interview never went into Hill’s magazine. But it did launch the young author upon more than 20 years of research. And today we open to YOU the discovery and methods of using the revolutionary force which Carnegie quietly hinted at.
In the trail of the lessons of success found in Think and Grow Rich!
come accomplishments, not mere entertainment and time-killing diversion.
There come larger businesses bigger bank accounts fatter pay envelopes;
small, struggling enterprises given new life and power to grow and low- pay employees shown how to gain advancement by leaps and bounds.
