Napoleon Hill's Original Master Class on Individual Achievement Before the landmark book Think and Grow Rich came The Law of Success, an eight-volume series in which Hill presents the complete Science of Success philosophy. Originally published in 1928, this success system contains sixteen lessons on personal achievement, gleaned from interviews with and research on over 500 top performers from various industries and walks of life. Now condensed for your convenience into one compact volume curated by the Trustees of the Napoleon Hill Foundation, The Law of Success details the exact steps by which any individual can harness the power of thought to turn their dreams into reality. This is much more than a guide or roadmap; it is a total lifestyle makeover, with concrete resources for everyday application. If you are serious about becoming the best version of yourself in your field, your relationships, your health, and your finances, then you are ready for the original master class on success. A message from the executive director and CEO of the Napoleon Hill Foundation There have been many requests over the years for a version that is more concise and compact yet contains the core lessons discovered and set forth in the discussion of the sixteen success principles. The Trustees of the Napoleon Hill Foundation heard these requests and took on the task of producing such a book, containing what they viewed as the essential lessons and most important portions of the original work, and what you are about to read is the result. This version has dispensed with the third party quotations and "After the Lesson" essays in the original work, deleted some stories that were repeated in other of Hill's books published after 1928, and eliminated repetition (rightly valued by Mr. Hill as a learning method but not appropriate for a compact volume.) The Trustees believe, and hope you will agree, that the resulting volume contains all the essential wisdom of this groundbreaking work, Law of Success. I have been the Executive Director of the Napoleon Hill Foundation since 2000, and I and the other Trustees who contributed to this work have nearly 200 years combined years of service to the Foundation. I believe they are singularly equipped to produce the best distillation of Napoleon Hill's seminal work and am proud to present this book for your enjoyment, appreciation, and education. --Don M. Green, Executive Director, Chief Executive Officer, and Trustee

Success is best understood as a series of related habits which are deliberate actions taken over time that because of repetition become automatic. Once these success habits become rote, they perform right on schedule for us because they have become a downloaded pattern housed in our subconscious mind. Once entrenched in our subconscious mind, these routine habits have the determination and persistence of weeds, but conversely, these now deliberatively cultivated habits are higher functioning and productive. They are the children of our thoughts, and they are intentionally placed inside our inner psyche to produce offspring that complement who we are and what we still intend to become. Once the key is found to this Treasure Chest, all the goodness of the universe will be ours for the asking. The principle by which an idea germinates and grows in your mind until it becomes habit was called Cosmic Habit Force by Napoleon Hill. Its name, whether Cosmic Habit Force or neuroplasticity, doesn't matter. It is definite; it has been used and demonstrated by the greatest individuals in the world. And it never fails. It works as well on behalf of the humble person as it does for the business magnate. Its purpose is to perpetuate everything after its own kind, including the thought habits of man.
