Publisher's Summary

“Napoleon Hill was one of America’s great, influential thinkers who continues to have an enormous impact today.” - Steve Forbes, editor-in-chief of Forbes magazine

Bestselling author Napoleon Hill reveals the seven principles of good that allow us to triumph over obstacles...and find success.

Using his legendary ability to get to the root of human potential, Napoleon Hill digs deep to reveal how fear, procrastination, anger, and jealousy prevent us from realizing our personal goals. This long-suppressed parable, once considered too controversial to publish, was written by Hill in 1938 following the publication of his classic bestseller, Think and Grow Rich. Annotated and edited for a contemporary audience by Rich Dad, Poor Dad and Three Feet from Gold coauthor Sharon Lechter, this book is profound, powerful, resonant, and rich with insight.

What the critics say

"My simple faith is this: If we are created in God’s image, then we were born to create, and to create is to prosper. [This] previously unpublished Napoleon Hill manuscript.... I’ve read it and recommend it." (Rich Karlgaard, Publisher of Forbes magazine)

Ruined by narration

The narration absolutely horrific. I almost returned the book when I heard her voice, but picked it up when I then thought it was merely an intro.

She is absolutely obnoxious. A masterpiece has been ruined.

She interrupts every minute or two. You have to set the fast forward interval to 10 seconds. Knowing she will interrupt will cause you anxiety.

I will be asking for a refund

Good book, extremely annoying commentary

Amazing book but absolutely no need for the editor to add her two cents, takes away from the book and it's flow. This would be a 5 star book but reduced heavily due to the sheer annoyance by the commentary

Important learning again from Napoleon Hill, but..

If only I could silence the woman enough to continue the thought and flow of Napoleon's writing! I understand the need to want to explain.. but it's an audible book... we listen and learn.. if she had such great need to narrate, I feel she should have set aside one more episode where she shares all her thoughts from what she herself has learned. Now she forces us to hear her thoughts PLUS those of the Writer.

In my opionion, she successfully ruined a great listen. We need a do over,. we have paid top dollar to hear Napoleon Hill's mind.. and we got her's over and over again. Sharon robbed listeners their right to hear. It's like watching a movie and ever so often you have Sharon pause the movie so she can explain what just happened.. Sad.

This book should be redone, without her thoughts mingled with the writers'.

Great Book; the editor is useless.

Such a phenomenal book; seeing the negative aspects of life with the interview of the Devil, allows one to see the negative aspect of life. However, the editor takes away from the book by making useless comments that add nothing to the text, and her voice is fairly annoying

I enjoyed the story, but the discussions in between the story by the editor weren't my favorite
