Andrew Carnegie's Mental Dynamite: How to Unlock the Awesome Power of You

As the story goes, in 1908, young reporter Napoleon Hill interviewed wealthy capitalist Andrew Carnegie for a short magazine segment, and it changed his life. Instead of giving fodder for a fluff piece, Carnegie talked for hours about his philosophy of success—self-disciple, learning from defeat, the Golden rule—and challenged Hill to spend 20 years interviewing successful people to distill a formula for happiness and prosperity. Hill eventually wrote a bestselling book based on these interviews, called Think and Grow Rich. Though Hill’s definition of success was heavily centered on accumulating wealth, and limited to white landholding males, the Napoleon Hill Foundation believes that Carnegie’s century-old wisdom may be relevant to your own trials and tribulations as you strive to lead a happy, harmonious life. Each chapter draws on Carnegie’s original essays and includes annotations from expert scholar James Whittaker to explain why his advice can help you reach your goals and prosper.
