The Law of Success in Sixteen Lessons includes what Hill describes as the True Philosophy upon which all Personal Success is Built. From Self Confidence to Imagination and all aspects of personality and habits in between Hill spells out the steps to success.
Napoleon Hill was an American author who was one of the earliest producers of the modern genre of personal-success literature. His most famous work, Think and Grow Rich, is one of the best-selling books of all time. Hill's works examined the power of personal beliefs, and the role they play in personal success. He became the adviser to President Franklin D. Roosevelt from 1933-36. "What the mind of man can conceive and believe, it can achieve" is one of Hill's hallmark expressions. How achievement actually occurs, and a formula for it that puts success in reach for the average person, were the focal points of Hill's books.
The turning point in the writing career of Napoleon Hill is considered to have occurred in 1908 with his assignment, as part of a series of articles about famous men, to interview the industrialist Andrew Carnegie, one of the most powerful men in the world. Hill discovered that Carnegie believed that the process of success could be elaborated in a simple formula that could be duplicated by the average person. Impressed with Hill, Carnegie asked him if he was up to the task of putting together this information with only reimbursement for out-of-pocket expenses to interview or analyze over 500 successful men and women, many of them millionaires, in order to discover and publish this formula for success.
As part of his research, Hill interviewed many of the most famous people of the time, including Thomas Edison, Alexander Graham Bell, George Eastman, Henry Ford, Elmer Gates, John D. Rockefeller, Sr., Charles M. Schwab, F.W. Woolworth, William Wrigley Jr., John Wanamaker, William Jennings Bryan, Joseph Stalin, Theodore Roosevelt, William H. Taft, Woodrow Wilson, and Jennings Randolph. Hill was also an advisor to two presidents of the United States of America, Woodrow Wilson and Franklin Delano Roosevelt.
As a result of Hill's studies via Carnegie's introductions, the Philosophy of Achievement was offered as a formula for rags-to-riches success by Hill and Carnegie, published initially in 1928 as a study course called The Law of Success. ---From Wikipedia

I think this book is a complete guide to be a succesful person. I read the former review and i disagree. Napoleon Hill interviewed the people who had the most impact of the world at that time, Ford(Ford automobile), Edison(Inventor of the light bulb, battery), Gandhi etc. Then he wrote this book about how they thought and acted, and he describes how we can think and act to make the world better. In my opinion one of the main messages of the bible is to make the world a better place for all of us, so i think the law of success and the bible at least have that in common. The book is about 1200 pages long. I think it is well worth the price.

Those who are familiar with Napoleon Hill’s work know that the techniques in his books were proven to work before the books were even written. As Hill has said himself, failure is not even an option to those who follow the techniques persistently.
I don’t think it would be possible to write a good self-help book without repeating at least one of the techniques outlined in Hill’s books. That’s probably why I find that most other self-help books do just that – and usually in a redundant and/or confusing way.
If you’re willing to be open-minded and – again, persistent – your best bet would probably be to go with Napoleon Hill – the original self-help author as far as I’m concerned.
Also, it is my belief that the techniques can be adapted and used by intelligent followers of any faith.

If you liked or love Think & Grow Rich like I do, then you’ll love The Law of Success by Napolean Hill. Warning: get ready for a lot of reading. This two volume set includes the 16 lessons and goes a lot deeper than Think & Grow Rich. None the less, I found the reading enjoyable and profitable.
The law of success is actually a series of lectures that Hill did many years ago. As such, I believe that this book is even more valuable than Think & Grow Rich. Much more meat–and I liked Think and Grow Rich.
Add the Law of Success to your success library. It can change your life.

When I first read this book I felt bad for not having come across a jem like this during my formative years.Unlike many books which preach good values in an abstract way, this book provides specific practical techniques for practicing them in a day to day life.What is even more attractive is the gaurantee of tangible benefits to the practitioner if one follows these rules genuinely.No one can claim he is less fortunate in life if he has read this book.What a masterpiece from the contemporary of Ford and Edisson!

I appreciate Amazon offering this outstanding book set by the late, great Napolean Hill. I was given the hardback set many years ago as a gift, but lost them when my home got flooded.
The Law of Success is like an expanded version of Think and Grow Rich. It contains a series of lectures done by Napolean Hill many, many years ago. I found the best way to use this set is to just read on lesson per day and let the material sink in. Sort of like going to school or taking a course, except this is the course in personal achievement.
These principles have survived the test of time. They worked back in the early days when they were created and they work today as well.

As you begin to read the book you sense a familiarity with the subject matter. Almost as though you heard the story before. Quickly you realize you’re experiencing the original story.
Napoleon Hill was originally responsible for finding the common traits between the world’s most successful people. Andrew Carnegie “suggested” this idea to Mr. Hill. As a condition of employment Mr. Hill would have to perform the work without pay. He would have to earn money some other way. Mr. Carnegie helped by providing letters of introduction to some of the world’s most successful people.
Nearly every book written sine this time has used these same principles with new faces.
Get the straight dope from the source. Start with this book.
Thank you Paul McManus for buying me the most important book I’ve read.

Like most people I bought Think & Grow Rich along with several other business and positive mind books. A leader in a company that I was associated with suggested The Law of Success. He warned me that it would be a lot of reading. At that time it was two hard back copies, beautifully bound.
I asked him if the books helped him. He told me that this set helped him achieve a level of success that was previously unattainable to him. And he told me that this series was much more complete than Think & Grow Rich—it was like attending class. Transcripts from actual Napolean Hill lectures.
I found that like Rich, these books helped me to go to levels that I could never reach before as well. Think & Grow Rich planted the seeds and got my interest as well as offered powerful strategies. This 2 book set helped make more sense of the principles, tied things together.
The other Hill book that I strongly recommend is Success Through a Positive Mental Attitude. I know that even in todays world, some people bicker at the positive mind books…but guess what? They work! Everyone I know who has achieved any level of success attributes that success to books like these.
I know they sure have helped me.

This is one of the BEST books (there are two in the set) that I have ever read for what truly creates real and lasting wealth, as well as what prevents people from the same.
The wisdom in this book is timeless, and will definitely show you where you may have been unconsciously blocking abundance in your life, as well as the character beneath to sustain it with a pure conscious.
I could quote this book a thousand times. A few of my favorites are:
“No man has a chance to enjoy permanent success until he begins to look in the mirror for the real cause of all his mistakes.”
“Don’t be afraid of a little opposition. Remember that the ‘Kite’ of success generally rises AGAINST the wind of Adversity – not with it!”
“Is it not strange that we fear most that which never happens? That we destroy our initiative by the fear of defeat, when, in reality, defeat is a most useful tonic and should be accepted as such.”
“Service, Sacrifice and Self-Control are three words which must be well understood by the person who succeeds in doing something that is of help to this world.”
“Charles Chaplin makes a million dollars a year out of a funny, shuffling walk and a pair of baggy trousers, because he does ‘something different.’ Take the hint and individualize yourself with some distinctive idea.”
“E.M. Statler became the most successful hotel man in the world by rendering MORE SERVICE and BETTER SERVICE THAN HIS GUESTS WERE ASKED TO PAY FOR.”
There is more in this book of lasting value that can truly make a difference in your life than many get-rich-quick books I’ve come across. As this great book states, “Conceit is a fog which envelops a man’s real character beyond his own recognition. It weakens his native abilities and strengthens all his inconsistencies.”
This book really shows you the stuff wealth is made of. It comes from a pure heart, an open mind that values wisdom, and a person who values people more than dollars. Do that, and you’ll come to find more dollars than you ever have before.
Along with this book, I recommend “Think and Grow Rich” (shown above) and “Failing Forward” by John C. Maxwell if you’re looking for more current examples, though timeless and rewarding.
They ALL deserve 10 stars.

One of Napoleon Hill’s maxims is to do more than you are being paid for, and he certainly does that in this book.
This book is truly a Bible for success, and is full of amazing concepts. Though this book was written back in the 1920′s and 30s, the concepts are Universal and timeless. Reading this book opens up whole new horizons in my thinking, and has me going wow.
As someone who loves metaphysics, I can state that Napoleon Hill is a very conscious person obviously schooled in the metaphysical laws as well. I love his explanation about energy and the ether, and also the analogy between radio signals, and our own ways of communicating, coinicidences etc.
Clearly, he has had phenomenal success as a teacher and motivator, and he has tapped the greatest minds of his time.
Motivation, wealth building and success without NH’s concepts, would be like music as if the Beatles had never existed. You might appreciate it, but something would be missing.
So, I highly recommend this book. If you are into the more metaphysical, check out Creating Money by Sanaya Roman.
