Napoleon Hill

Napoleon Hill was born in America. He has probably influenced more people into success than anyone else in history. Born into poverty in 1883, he began his writing career at 13 years of age, doing “mountain reporting” for small town newspapers. Hill eventually became one of America’s most beloved motivational author.

When he was interviewing steel-magnate Andrew Carnegie on his success story, Mr. Carnegie commissioned Hill to find a success formula that could be used by the average person, through interviewing over 500 millionaires. After interviewing iconic figures such as Thomas Edison, Henry Ford, Theodore Roosevelt, etc. over 20 years of research, his book, Think and Grow Rich has become the all-time best seller in its genre. His work continues to make an impact even today, almost 50 years after Hill passed away in November 1970.
