Napoleon Hill assembled this book from years spent studying industrialists and what they had in common, then set the result out as thirteen principles.
Desire, faith, specialised knowledge, persistence and the mastermind group each get separate treatment, with the argument resting on the claim that sustained thought and definite purpose come before results. Read now, it doubles as a document of early twentieth-century American business thinking. The Amazing Reads paperback comes to 250 pages.
How it is organised:
• Thirteen principles presented one chapter at a time
• Material drawn from Hill's study of American industrialists
• Emphasis on definite purpose, persistence and planning
• A 250-page paperback suited to chapter-by-chapter reading
Read by people interested in business history, personal development and classic motivational writing, published by Amazing Reads and available at Boipoka.
