Annotation
This biography captures the journey of Napoleon Hill through from his humble beginnings to his legendary meeting with Andrew Carnegie, to his journey of becoming a powerful thinker. Born in poverty in rural Virginia, leading a turbulent childhood, wild-child Napoleon Hill was gifted a typewriter by his step mother at the age of 13. That is when Hill began writing as a "mountain reporter” for various small town newspapers. With single-minded passion for success, Hill worked his way through law school and became a business journalist. Never one to give up, he picked up the gauntlet that Andrew Carnegie, possibly the richest man at the time, threw him. It was to codify the rules of achievement that had made America so strong. Over the next twenty years, Hill interviewed successful people from all walks of life and brought together the learnings in the book The law of success.
