Napoleon Hill is one of the most-read authors in the field of new thought and one of the creators of the modern “self-help” genre. He is often looked upon as one of the great writers on “success”. In his most famous work, Think and Grow Rich, Hill coined the phrase: “Whatever your mind can conceive and believe, it can achieve.” The book The Law of Success is devoted to training the reader to win “the battle of life”. To achieve this, Hill provides strategies designed to help “overcome one’s own weaknesses”, which he describes as “the main obstacles to success.”
