by John Johnson

There’s hardly a person alive today who doesn’t know of Napoleon Hill and his law of success. Millions of readers throughout the world have read and bene?ted from his teachings. Few, however, may be aware of the tremendous personal success of their author . . . a man who used his philosophy to rise from small town oblivion to international prominence.
