Why did Napoleon Hill’s “Think and Grow Rich” become so successful?

Napoleon Hill’s book “Think and Grow Rich” was published in 1937 during the Great Depression. It contained Napoleon Hill’s philosophy of personal success as described in “The Law of Success in 16 Lessons”, but in a condensed form.

It must have hit the nerve at a time when many were without jobs and had a poor perspective in life. The sound footing of Napoleon Hill’s philosophy were interviews with more than 500 millionaires and billionaires. So Napoleon Hill and his book “Think and Grow Rich” gained a great amount of credibility.

Napoleon Hill’s philosophy was simple and easy to understand, too. That made it possible for the average man and woman to read, understand and apply Napoleon Hill’s success principles for their own personal success.

Timeline-Mindmap on Napoleon Hill

Off -Topic:

I have used the freeware mindmap-software XMind to create this mindmap. On the whole it is a suitable program. But it slows down tremendously when it comes to bigger mindmaps. In addition is it difficult or even impossible to arrange the branches as desired if you want to add multiple main-branches to the center. (Like in this mindmap. I had already grouped the branches but it was still very difficult.)

The bottom line is: I do not recommend it even though it is free.

If you need a free mindmap program, you’d better stick to “FreeMind” despite its known restrictions in design-options and others.

For excellent mindmapping-results you may consider these programs:

  • iMindMap – Official mindmap-software, endorsed by Tony Buzan, inventor of mindmapping.
  • NovaMind – Perfected over many years with very intuitional handling.
  • MindManager – Excellent for use in business. Has a lot of  well-elaborated features. To big for private use.

About Napoleon Hill

TAGR-Ads:  The Science of Getting Rich Maverick Money Makers Blog Mastermind Mobile Monopoly

Oliver Napoleon Hill was born on October 26, 1883 in Pound, Wise County, Virginia.

Napoleon Hill as a young man

Napoleon Hill, author of 'Think And Grow Rich'

He was an American author and one of the earliest producers of the modern genre of personal-success literature. His most famous and best-selling book “Think And Grow Rich” sold 30 – 60 million (data varies) copies since it was published for the first time in 1937.

Despite the title “Think And Grow Rich” Hill’s aim was not only to enable people to get rich. His intention was particulary to examine the power of personal beliefs and the role they play in personal success.

Napoleon Hill wanted to identify how achievement of any kind actually occurs and how to derive a formula of success that could be applied by the average person.

Napoleon Hill was born into poverty and his mother, Sarah Sylvania Blair, died when he was 10 years old. His father James Monroe Hill remarried two years later and Napoleons well-educated stepmother Martha tutored Nap, as he was called, in writing.

At 13, he began writing for several small-town newspapers in the Wise County area. Later, Napoleon Hill entered Georgetown University Law School (Washington D. C.) using his earnings as “mountain reporter” but soon he had to drop out due to shortness of money.

Working with “Bob Taylor’s Magazine” a popular periodical on achieving power and wealth, in the year 1908 Hill was to conduct his first major interview with one of the most impressing celebreties in those days: 73-year-old Scottish-American industrialist, businessman and entrepreneur – steel tycoon Andrew Carnegie.

He was the then richest man in America and a major philanthropist. That interview changed Napoleon Hill’s life in a way he never thought was possible.

Andrew Carnegie commissioned Hill with writing a philosophy of achievement based on interviews with more than 500 successful and wealthy men and women, many of them millionaires or multimillionaires. Napolen Hill’s mission was to find a formula of success that could be used by the average person.

  • It took Napoleon Hill exactly 20 years to accomplish his goal but finally he succeeded. The result was his first book “The Law Of Success In Sixteen Lessons”, published in 1928. Nine years and one publication later (“The Magic Ladder Of Success”, 1930), Napoleon Hill published his world bestseller, the classic personal-achievement book “Think And Grow Rich” in 1937 at the age of 53.

    Nine books followed. All of them covered the formula of getting rich and successful. Hill later called his works “The Philosophy of Achievement”. The most contributing elements and inevitable foundations of successful personal achievement and riches are freedom, democracy, capitalism and harmony, said Hill. Firm beliefs and the overcoming of fears are another two core values in order to grow rich and live a successful life.

    Napoleon Hill joined staff of President Franklin Delano Roosevelt’s National Recovery Administration from 1933 – 1936. It is said, that Roosevelt’s world-famous sentence “We have nothing to fear, but fear itself.” was penned for the president by Napoleon Hill during that time.

    Hill married Florence Elisabeth Hornor in 1910. The couple had 3 sons, James (*1911), Napoleon Jr. (*1912) and David (*1918). Florence and Napoleon were divorced in 1935.

    Napoleon Hill, one of Americas most beloved motivational authors, writer, teacher and lecturer of the principles of success and getting rich passed away in South Carolina on November 8, 1970, at the age of 87.
