Hinweis der Redaktion
- The industrialist invited Hill to his estate, where, over the course of three days, Carnegie held forth on his idea that the principles of success should be laid down in writing for anyone to follow. In a famous scene from self-help history, Carnegie confronted Hill with the question of whether he would be willing to spend the next 20 years in pursuit of this goal. Hill said yes.
- Hill had worked for President Woodrow Wilson as a public relations adviser, and returned to the White House under Roosevelt to help write the famous 'fireside chats' broadcast over radio to Americans during the Depression. He was also personal adviser to Manuel Quezon before he became the first president of the Philippines. With W Clement Stone, the author started the magazine Success Unlimited, and wrote the bestseller Success Through a Positive Mental Attitude (1960). His last full work was the more philosophical and autobiographical Grow Rich With Peace of Mind (1967). Think and Grow Rich: A Black Choice (for African-Americans), was completed by Dennis Kimbro from Hill's notes after his death in 1970. Michael J. Ritt, president of the Napoleon Hill Foundation in Illinois, chronicled Hill's life in A Lifetime of Riches (with Kirk Flanders).
- Thousands of personal finance books on shelves today promise to teach you to spend less, save more, invest better, retire earlier, get out of debt faster, and solve just about every financial conundrum in between
- As readers will attest, the book goes beyond money. He makes an effort at the outset to define 'rich' in terms of quality friendships, family harmony, good work relationships and spiritual peace. Further, he warns us not to rely on position or force of authority, remarking that most great leaders began as excellent followers and that we have to learn how to serve before we can achieve. Yet Hill's central idea, that the source of wealth is non-material, is yet to be fully appreciated – we still tend to worry about our level of education or amount of capital more than about intangible assets such as persistence, vision, and the ability to tap into the Infinite and shape the subconscious. Successful people are shy of attributing their wealth or influence to such 'spiritual' abilities, but Hill knew their importance. This is why his book continues to be read through decades of economic bust and boom. The source of wealth never ceases to flow and is outside of time.
