LAW OF SUCCESS 21st CENTURY EDITION

LAW OF SUCCESS IS COMPRISED OF THE KEY PRINCIPLES THAT FORM

the foundation of Napoleon Hill's philosophy of personal achievement.

The genesis of the principles explored in Law of Success date

from the day in I908 when Napoleon Hill was assigned to write a

magazine profile on steel baron and philanthropist Andrew Carnegie.

During their interview Carnegie became so impressed with the young

writer that what was to have been a brief interview stretched into a

three-day marathon. It concluded with Carnegie offering to introduce

Napoleon Hill to the most powerful men of the day in order that

Hill could learn from each of them the secrets of their success. It was

Carnegie's vision that, in so doing, Hill would be able to formulate a

philosophy that could be used by anyone to help themselves create

their own success and realize their dreams.

As Napoleon Hill pursued his mission, he wrote thousands of

articles and profiles, launched his own magazines, developed home-

study courses, started training centers, and opened a business college

-all inspired by his evolving philosophy. He also created a lecture

series that brought him wide recognition as an inspiring public speaker

on the subject of success and personal achievement. Through it all,

Napoleon Hill was constantly testing and modifying his theories until

they became refined into a set of specific principles that together

formed the cohesive philosophy Andrew Carnegie had envisioned.
