MORE DYNAMITE!!

The Foundation is proud to announce that the second book in the series based on the long lost Mental Dynamite booklets written by Napoleon Hill will be published by Random House/Penguin on September 19. Titled “How to Own Your Own Mind,” the book focuses on three of the seventeen principles: Creative Vision, Organized Thought and Controlled Attention. These principles show how you can focus and use your mind to carry out your definite major purpose. The book is available for pre-order on Amazon now.

Creative Vision includes the power of imagination and is the means by which one recognizes opportunities. Organized Thought, when combined with will power and self- discipline, is the means by which Creative Vision is fully developed. And Controlled Attention, coupled with intense concentration, is how thought is turned into action.

Napoleon Hill often said that action is critical to success, but one must think before one can grow rich, and this book, with many examples and success stories, will show you how to think and gain control of your own mind. We are sure you will enjoy and benefit from these chapters, timeless and still valid after many decades in the Foundation’s archives.

Now available on Amazon!

Vintage Essays By Judy Williamson, Director of the Napoleon Hill World Learning Center at Purdue University Calumnet

Dear Raeders,

On a recent trip into a financial institution, a young woman recognized that I worked for the Napoleon Hill Foundation, and asked me if we sold books. I told her yes, and then asked her if she liked to read. The young woman simply said no, that she did not have enough time. After this brief encounter I wondered how many hours per day she spent watching TV.

Various surveys indicate that the average person spends about five hours per day watching TV.

Every person has the same twenty-four hours in a day, and how we use our leisure time will have a tremendous effect on the success we experience in our lives. Making time to read will have a major impact on our career, relationships, and overall satisfaction with our lives. An educated individual is not only in a better position to support the needs of themselves and their family, but also is in a better position to help others.

We can all help to make the world a better place in which to live, which is the motto of the Napoleon Hill Foundation. A good place to start is by reading good books, and applying what you read to your life.

Remember the quote from Mark Twain, “Those who do not read are no better off than those that cannot read.”

 

I wish you the best in all that you do.
Don Green
Executive Director Napoleon HIll Foundation

The Law of Success

 

The Opportunity in TIME
by Napoleon Hill

On the next occasion when you find yourself wasting a single second of this precious agent of OPPORTUNITY, TIME, copy the following resolution, commit it to memory, and start immediately to carry it out:

My Commitment to Doctor Time:

1. Time is my greatest asset, and I shall relate myself to it on a budget system which provides that every second not devoted to sleep shall be used for self-improvement.

2. In the future I shall regard the loss, through neglect, of any portion of my Time as a sin, for which I must atone by the better use in the future of an equivalent amount of it.

3. Recognizing that I shall reap that which I sow, I shall sow only the seeds of service which may benefit others as well as myself, and thereby throw myself in the way of the great Law of Compensation.

4. I shall so use my Time in the future that each day will bring me some measure of peace of mind, in the absence of which I shall recognize that the seed I have been sowing needs reexamination.

5. Knowing that my habits of thought become the patterns which attract all the circumstances affecting my life through the lapse of Time, I shall keep my mind so busy in connection with the circumstances I desire that no Time will be left to devote to fears and frustrations, and the things I do not desire.

6. Recognizing that, at best, my allotted Time on the earth plane is indefinite and limited, I shall endeavor in all ways possible to use my portion of it so that those nearest me will benefit by my influence, and be inspired by my example to make the best possible use of their own Time.

7. Finally, when my allotment of Time shall have expired, I hope I may leave behind me a monument to my name — not a monument in stone, but in the hearts of my fellow men — a monument whose marking will testify that the world was made a little better because of my having passed this way.

8. I shall repeat this Commitment daily during the remainder of my allotment of Time, and back it with BELIEF that it will improve my character and inspire those whom I may influence, to likewise improve their lives.

Wisdom for Winners

For almost 20 years, I have been privileged to write columns each week and have them read by countless people around the world in newspapers, magazines, and online publications. On one previous occasion, a compilation of these columns was gathered together in a book that was well-received and continues to find success in the marketplace.

I was excited when Don Green, the head of The Napoleon Hill Foundation, contacted me to do a compilation book entitled Wisdom for Winners. Mr. Green wrote the Foreword to the book and divided a number of my columns into individual sections encompassing areas of personal and professional life.

We live in a world in which we are constantly bombarded by countless images and messages on a daily basis designed to get us to act in certain ways, buy certain products, and think certain thoughts in order to benefit others; it is, therefore, imperative that we control our own thoughts and actions through the input of positive messages designed to move us toward our own success.

I am proud, pleased, and humbled to be associated with Napoleon Hill in Wisdom for Winners and Wisdom for Winners Volumes 2 and 3, which offer readers small, bite-sized messages that can be read in a few minutes each morning or at a point during the day when a specific message is called for. Many Fortune 500 executives have read the same books, but the title most cited by these elite performers was Napoleon Hill’s book Think and Grow Rich.

As a young man, Napoleon Hill approached Andrew Carnegie, the first billionaire, and asked about the key to success. Instead of giving some routine or flippant answer, Carnegie agreed to sponsor Napoleon Hill on a quest to find the keys to achievement and launch the science of success. Carnegie introduced young Napoleon Hill to Thomas Edison, Henry Ford, and dozens of the business leaders of the day. This collective wisdom emerged in Hill’s 1937 classic book Think and Grow Rich.

Many of the people Napoleon Hill interviewed found their success in the 19th century, Hill compiled and wrote about it in the 20th century, and this timeless wisdom is available to you and me in the 21st century. Now it is very exciting for me to have a group of these weekly columns compiled into three volumes entitled Wisdom for Winners released under The Napoleon Hill banner with Forewords by my friend and the head of The Napoleon Hill Foundation, Don Green.

I hope you are enjoying this third book as a way to launch or reenergize your own quest for success. As you go through your day today, remember, you become what you think about, so commit to applying Wisdom for Winners in your own life.

Today’s the day!

The Path to Personal Power

by Napoleon Hill

This true lost manuscript from the “grandfather of self-help,” Napoleon Hill provides timeless wisdom on how to attain a more successful and wealthy life using simple principles.

Napoleon Hill first wrote The Path to Personal Power in 1941, intending it as a handbook for people lifting themselves out of the Great Depression. But upon the bombing of Pearl Harbor and America’s entrance into World War II, these lessons were put aside and largely forgotten–until today.

Discovered in the archives of the Napoleon Hill Foundation, this never-before-published work is made up of three easily digested lessons, each its own chapter: Definiteness of Purpose; the Master Mind; and Going the Extra Mile.

This concise book is a powerful road map that leads to a single discovery–you already have the power to attain whatever wealth, success, and prosperity you desire in life. All you need to do is walk the path without straying, and the rest will follow.

Using these lessons, you have principles to live by that will help you stay on your own personal path to power, and achieve success that you never thought possible.

Will be released on July 18, 2017 on Amazon.com

 

How to Own Your Own Mind

by Napoleon Hill

Locked in a vault since 1941, here is Napoleon Hill’s definitive lesson on how to organize your thinking to attain success!

In How to Own Your Mind, you receive a one-of-a-kind master class in how to think for success from motivational pioneer and author of Think and Grow Rich, Napoleon Hill. In three compelling chapters, Hill demonstrates how to organize, prioritize, and act on information so that it translates into opportunity.

Knowledge is not power. Only applied knowledge is power. This book teaches you how to use what you know, and how to know what’s worth knowing.

“The name Napoleon Hill is synonymous with practical advice on how to get ahead.”—Mitch Horowitz, CNBC.com

Will be released on September 19th on Amazon.com

 

Think and Grow Rich

by Napoleon Hill

As Executive Director of the Napoleon Hill Foundation, I receive many requests from people wanting the original 1937 copy of Think and Grow Rich. To satisfy those of you who desire to have a 1937 unedited copy, we have reproduced Napoleon Hill’s personal copy of the first edition, printed in March of 1937. The book has the notation, “not to be loaned,” and signed: Annie Lou Hill (the wife of Dr. Hill). This personal copy of Dr. Hill’s was given to me by Dr. Charles W. Johnson, Chairman of the Napoleon Hill Foundation and a nephew of Napoleon Hill. It was Napoleon Hill who sent Dr. Johnson to medical school, and today he is a practicing cardiologist. Charlie refers to Napoleon Hill as “Uncle Nap” and will often makes the statement, “Uncle Nap would be proud of the Foundation today.” The original 1937 manuscript was written and edited with the assistance of Napoleon’s wife. In later years, the existing document was again edited by Dr. Hill. For example, the Foundation owns a 1958 edition that Hill edited personally. This did not lessen the book’s value in Hill’s judgment. Hill made the editing remarks in his own handwriting and the resulting 1960 edited edition has sold over 100 million copies making it the most read self-help book of all time
