Description of Think and Grow Rich: The Inspirational Classic
Napoleon Hill was born in 1883 in a one-room log cabin in Virginia's Blue Ridge Mountains. As a teenager, he worked as a newspaper reporter to finance his way through Georgetown University Law School. His outstanding reporting brought him to the attention of Robert Taylor, a magazine publisher, who employed Hill to write a series of success stories of famous men, the first of whom was Andrew Carnegie. Hill so impressed Carnegie that he commissioned him to do a job that would become a twenty-year assignment - interviewing 504 of the most successful men in America in order to find through their experiences a success formula that would work for the average man.
Among those interviewed were such famous men as Ford Wrigley Wanamaker Eastman Rockefeller Edison Woolworth Darrow Burbank Morgan Firestone - as well as three United States Presidents. Hill published the first interpretation of the philosophy of individual achievement in 1928, exactly twenty years after the Carnegie interview. Think and Grow Rich has sold more than 7 million copies since then.
