A protégé of Andrew Carnegie, Napoleon Hill (1883–1970) was a pioneer of self-help writing, and his

ranks among the top 10 bestselling self-help books of all time. He employed his own philosophy to achieve wealth and fame, sharing his insights through his books and lectures. Hill launched his remarkable career in 1928 with

Nearly a century after its initial publication, the self-help guru Hill's enduring advice continues to offer modern readers valuable guidance for cultivating their inner potential.
