Napoleon Hill - The Science of Success: Napoleon Hills Proven Program for Prosperity and Happiness

T he Science of Success is a publication of previously uncollected works that appeared throughout Dr. Hills lifetime in newspapers and special edition magazines.

These articles by reporters and Dr. Hill offer added insight into the authors popularity and engaging style as both a motivational speaker and a writer.

I nd that the real treasure trove exists in the Science of Success series that includes the 35 Miami Herald articles and the additional 18 in-depth essays detailing the success principles, one concept at a time.

As a student, practitioner, instructor, and educational director of the Napoleon Hill World Learning Center for Dr. Hills Success Philosophy, I always look forward to nding additional writings that he himself penned. In these newspaper columns, Dr. Hill uses many of the same concepts that appeared in his other writings but with different illustrations to drive home his points and make them understandable by anyone.

For everyone who has enjoyed Dr. Hills books, these new and uncollected articles demonstrate the proliferation of his inuence worldwide, across cultures, and in varying secular and religious denominations. He truly cuts across many boundaries to get the word out on how to achieve personal success.

Begin by reading these offerings as an introduction to Dr. Hills lifetime works. Next, consider going a little deeper by reading one or more of his classic works, such as Think and Grow Rich, Law of Success, or Howto Sell Your Way Through Life. Simultaneously, begin putting into action what Dr. Hill discusses in each article.

The purpose here is not to conform to what Dr. Hill writes about, but to perform his script in your own life for your ultimate success.

At the onset, consider working with one or two of the ideas that appeal to you, and then when you see concrete results of so doing, add another of Dr. Hills teachings and begin to build a formidable foundation for success in your own life. As you witness what happens, I predict that you will eagerly let your old self stand aside and introduce your new and improved higher self to the world.

As either an introduction or as a refresher course in Dr. Hills philosophy, this book will serve you equally well. The short essays are engaging, easy to read aloud for emphasis, and contain noteworthy sayings that can serve as affirmations, thought starters, or calls to action.

I surely enjoyed collecting the materials and compiling the book because it underscored for me the relevancy and practicality of Dr. Hills ageless works. Dr. Hill recognized the timeless nature of his works when he spoke of their benet for future generations yet unborn.

I wholeheartedly recommend this book as required reading if you are a serious student and practitioner of Dr. Hills Success Philosophy.

Be Your Very Best Always,

THE MAN WHO TAUGHT MILLIONS HOW TO SUCCEED

by John Johnson

Theres hardly a person alive today who doesnt know of Napoleon Hill and his law of success. Millions of readers throughout the world have read and beneted from his teachings. Few, however, may be aware of the tremendous personal success of their author... a man who used his philosophy to rise from small town oblivion to international prominence. In this issue, The Man Who Taught Millions How to Succeed tells the fabulous story of his life and reveals how the formula he originated can bring success to you!

A ll Americans were inspired and stirred when they heard, in 1933, the resonant voice of Franklin Delano Roosevelt proclaim, We have nothing to fear but fear itself. Men everywhere were electried by this statement which brought a halt to the panic that had shattered our economy and had shaken the foundations of our government.

While the President spoke these words another man listened with quiet satisfaction. This man was accustomed to supplying words and ideas for others in every walk of life. Doing so was his lifes work. The fact that the President of the United States saw t to use the idea he, in his capacity as condential advisor, had expressed was another milestone in a long and fruitful career dedicated to giving the world a philosophy that men could use to better themselves.

This man who remained anonymously in the shadows was Napoleon Hill. As the author of Think and Grow Rich, How to Raise Your Own Salary, and other best sellers, he might be considered a successful writer. But those who really understand the message he tries to convey recognize him as much more than just an author. Writing is only one of the instruments he has used to tell millions the truth about themselves and the powers they seldom realize that they possess.
