Napoleon Hill built this book around a claim that success follows describable habits of thought, and the chapters set out those habits one at a time.
The material grew out of years spent observing industrialists and inventors of the early twentieth century, and it is organised as a sequence of principles, among them desire, faith, persistence, organised planning and the value of a trusted circle of advisers. Each principle is argued, illustrated with anecdote, and then turned into something a reader can practise. The pocket format runs to 424 pages and suits reading one chapter at a time.
Points that stand out:
• A principle-by-principle structure across the full text
• Practical exercises attached to several of the chapters
• A compact pocket-classic paperback of 424 pages
• Language kept plain enough for newcomers to the genre
Aimed at students, early-career professionals and self-development readers, this Fingerprint! Publishing edition can be ordered at Boipoka.
