“Disappointment over love affairs generally has the effect of driving men to drink, and women to ruin; and this, because most people never learn the art of transmuting their strongest emotions into dreams of a constructive nature.”

American self-help author

Napoleon Hill was an American self-help author. He is best known for Think and Grow Rich, published in 1937, which became one of the best-selling self-help books of all time. His writing presented success as something that can be shaped by belief and sustained expectation. Most of his books set out principles for achieving success, and his work returned often to the idea that determined thought is central to improving one’s life.
