“You may as well know, right here, that you can never have riches in great quantities, unless you can work yourself into a white heat of desire for money, and actually believe you will possess it.”

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.
