"You can build wealth and achieve financial security -- but first, you have to learn to think like a millionaire.

Napoleon Hill spent twenty years of his life interviewing the most successful men in America in order to write the first book on the science of personal achievement. In the course of his studies, he developed seventeen success principles. These teachings explain each of them, In order, they are Definiteness of Purpose, the Master Mind Alliance, Going the Extra Mile, Applied Faith, Self-Discipline and Cosmic Habit Force. Hill often referred to these as the most important of the success principles. Hill and his last wife, Annie Lou, established the Napoleon Hill Foundation 1962, and it continues today to publish his books, videos, audios and lectures. These six lectures were transcribed but never before published and only recently found by the Foundation. The Trustees of the Foundation have chosen the title "Napoleon Hill's Positive Influence" for this book because these lectures deal with many of the influences which help people to become successful, and which drove Hill to achieve his own successes. One of Hill's greatest influences was business tycoon Andrew Carnegie, who commissioned him in 1908 to undertake his twenty-year investigation. During his investigation, he discovered that important positive influences on successful people included having self-discipline, learning from adversity, working in harmony with others, selecting "pace makers", surrounding oneself with positive books and mottos, being guided by Faith and what Hill called "Infinite Intelligence", social and physical heredity, and the law of Cosmic Habit force, by which one's habits become ingrained in one's personality and character. All of these positive influences are covered in these lectures. In addition to Andrew Carnegie, a number of individuals were positive influences in Hill's life, and they too are discussed in the lectures. Those who he knew personally, and who are referenced in the lectures, include Thomas Edison, Henry Ford, Franklin Roosevelt, Mahatma Gandhi, Dr. Elmer Gates, Alexander Graham Bell and Edwin Barnes. On a more personal level, he speaks fondly of his step-mother and his wives who helped him with his endeavors. We are fortunate to be able to present an Introduction to the book by Napoleon's grandson, J.B. Hill, and a Preface by Napoleon Hill Foundation Executive Director Don M. Green, both of which explain the important roles played by these women in bringing positive influences to bear on his life and work. We hope you will enjoy and benefit from this newly discovered treasure trove of "Napoleon Hill's Positive Influence".

Como estudiante, instructor y director del Centro Mundial de Enseñanza de Napoleon Hill, que difunde la filosofía del éxito del Dr. Hill, siempre tengo el deseo de encontrar escritos adicionales que el Doctor haya escrito.

It's time for you to rediscover your passion for living and thrive within this ever-changing world! Have you lost the gusto that once characterized your thoughts and actions? Sometimes all you need to regain your enthusiasm for life, work, and relationships is a pointed, friendly reminder of the details you are overlooking and the capabilities you may be neglecting. Successful Living in a Changing World collects the best of Earl Nightingale's timeless lessons on how to enjoy more of the good things in life. With his signature wit and wisdom, Nightingale shares enduring principles that are the bedrock of success in a world that is continuously in flux. Who among us would not benefit from insight, enlivened with anecdotes and aphorisms, on the following subjects: Enriching oneself through creation rather than competitionAdvancing one's career and building security by anticipating change in industryUsing creative thinking to achieve success in any endeavor, regardless of circumstancesBuilding healthier friendships, marriages, and work relationships through improved communicationReaching one's potential by developing self-confidence, self-control, persistence, initiative, gratitude, generosity, and other crucial qualities. Reading these messages takes us on what Nightingale calls the most profound and interesting journey of our lives--that of self-discovery. As you encounter their truths, you can access untapped reservoirs of power deep within yourself and cultivate resilience and lasting fulfillment in your changing world. Known as the "Dean of Personal Development," Earl Nightingale broadcast his radio programs for more than three decades on over 1,000 radio stations in twelve countries around the world, making him one of the most listened-to broadcasters in history. An inductee into both the Radio Hall of Fame and the International Speakers Hall of Fame and a winner of the prestigious Golden Gavel Award, he dedicated his life to helping others achieve personal success, co-founding Nightingale-Conant, a world leader in personal development.

"Through this book, we at Nightingale-Conant invite you to join Zig to learn, from the master himself, the secrets of cultivating a successful self-image. As he puts it, "The elements usually conducive to high self-esteem are good family relationships, good moral standards, religion, close friends, financial well-being, hobbies, and status. "It all begins when you start believing in you and having faith in your abilities. It culminates when you realize that you can have anything you want if you help enough people get what they want. Motivation and positive thinking won't work for the individual who does not believe that they themselves are capable of doing anything"--

E=mc2 You may think you know what this familiar formula means, but until you read Sam Silverstein's breakthrough book, you will not know its true power or its potential. This is the Accountability Formula(TM), and it forms the heart of the Theory of Accountability(TM). Silverstein's Theory of Accountability has nothing to do with physics, the speed of light, or the relationship between space and time. It has everything to do with personal and organizational growth, and with establishing the kind of leadership in your own life that makes excuses a thing of the past...and inspires true commitment from others. The Theory of Accountability states: Our lived EXPERIENCE is the direct result of our MINDSET and our COMMITMENT SQUARED. Silverstein's new book examines each of these critical elements in depth, and shows you how to leverage the power of accountability to create a sustainable high-performance life and organization. E stands for Experience. Our experience is the results: the outcomes we achieve in our life, in our business, and everywhere else. It is what we produce. Our experience impacts the lives of everyone we come in contact with. The problem is, all too often, our experience is erratic, random, unplanned, and dysfunctional--with results to match. M stands for Mindset. The accountable mindset is based on a conscious decision to embrace possibility rather than fear. When decisions are driven by fear, our experience and the experience of everyone we come in contact with suffers. On the other hand, when decisions are driven by a set of beliefs that are based on valuing people, and on a foundation of abundance rather than scarcity, our experience improves. C2 stands for Commitment Squared. How do we ensure that our mindset is driven by possibility and abundance, rather than by fear and scarcity? By focusing on our ability to make, keep, and expand specific commitments. There is truly awesome power in commitment. The quality of the results you achieve is always based on two things: how committed you are to people, and how committed you are to your mindset and your core beliefs. These are the two commitments of the accountable person. When both kinds of commitments are in full play, when you are all in, you are living to your full potential. Such commitments are like compound interest, because they produce increasingly greater results over time. Sam's latest book offers leaders a proven system for taking control of your life and transforming yourself and your organization...by harnessing the awesome power of accountability.

Accountability is not a way of doing. Accountability is a way of thinking. Those who achieve greatness know true accountability makes all the difference between success and failure. Based on extensive interviews with accountable leaders--from Fortune 500 CEOs to Hall of Fame athletes--No More Excuses identifies the five accountabilities of successful people and organizations. These tenets encourage accountability in others and performance at the highest level. When you willingly accept and embrace the five accountabilities, you encourage accountability in others and empower your teams to achieve at the highest level. The result is an organization focused on its fundamental values and committed, at the individual level, to achieving critical strategic goals. Whether you are a business owner, a top executive, or a team leader, accountability starts with you and trickles down to everyone else. If you want to build an organization that achieves its goals and beats the competition it is time for No More Excuses.

From the Napoleon Hill Foundation comes a collection of never-before-published writings from Napoleon Hill, author of Think and Grow Rich and Outwitting the Devil, on obtaining the greatest of all the riches available to human beings--peace of mind. Although Napoleon is famous for his insight on building financial wealth, he ultimately believed that the greatest success in life was not monetary and that true riches came from the peace of mind one achieves by helping others. The writings contained in this book will guide you toward this priceless asset so you can enjoy: Mastery over all forms of worryFreedom from fear and self-doubtControl over one's thoughtsThe ability to close the door on the sorrows of the pastThe magic power of beliefAnd much more!Included is a manuscript that was discovered by J. B. Hill, Napoleon's grandson and a trustee of the Napoleon Hill Foundation, that had been given to his father in the 1950s. Titled "How to Get Peace of Mind," it was intended to be released as a series of newspaper columns but for reasons unknown was never published. It is presented here for the first time, along with a previously unpublished excerpt from an unfinished autobiographical work by Napoleon written in 1947 and several editorial essays written by Napoleon and published in 1919 and 1920 in his magazine, Hill's Golden Rule. All explore the subject of attaining peace of mind. The final chapter in the book features a previously unpublished transcript of a 1948 radio program in which Napoleon disclosed what single ability is essential to achieving success and happiness. There is no greater freedom than that which peace of mind brings. Chart your own course to a serene mindset with help from Napoleon Hill's Pathways to Peace of Mind.

"Motivate This explores how a positive attitude can influence and improve your life. By realigning your motivation and focusing your energy into making a successful life, Motivate This helps those who wish to improve their lives"--

Napoleon Hill on two occasions wrote extensive memoirs about his life, starting with his youth in Wise County, Virginia, and ending, apparently, during World War II. I say "apparently" because the archives of the Napoleon Hill Foundation contain these two manuscripts, but they are obviously incomplete and end in the 1940s. Mr. Hill died in 1970. His last book, Grow Rich with Peace of Mind, was written in 1967 and sheds some light on his later years; but his own journals and memoirs of those years, if they ever existed, have not yet been found. The two memoirs were titled by Mr. Hill, Wheel of Fortune and Hand of Destiny. They contain details of his life, including his four marriages, two divorces and one annulment, which we at the Foundation have not seen in any of his other writings or speeches. They also contain many details about his successes and failures in business and there were more failures than successes, as he readily admits. The memoirs contain thoughtful insights into the state of mind of this great thinker--how he dealt with failure, profited from defeat, turned adversity into advantage, and ultimately achieved happiness with his last wife, Annie Lou, happiness which had eluded him for most of his life. Mr. Hill has said that the Master Mind principle, in which two or more minds work harmoniously to achieve a common goal, is the most important of the seventeen principles of success he studied during his decades of research into how people attain happy and successful lives. One of the many interesting stories in the memoirs is about how he and his third wife, Rosa Lee, used the Master Mind principle to discover the only one of the seventeen principles that no one had understood or realized before, Cosmic Habitforce. The Trustees of the Napoleon Hill Foundation have combined the two memoirs into one, editing out repetition and putting events in chronological order where it made sense to do so. They chose to title the combined memoirs Master Mind, in recognition of the importance this principle played in his philosophy and life, and as a tribute to the mental giant who was the greatest thinker and writer ever in the fields of personal achievement and self-improvement.

Do you feel like you're merely surviving each day, doing everything you can just to make it through your daily routine?
