Publisher's Synopsis
Napoleon Hill's Think and Grow Rich launched a movement, built empires, and shaped the modern self-help industry. But behind the polished philosophy was a life of contradictions: vanished ventures, contested origin stories, accusations of fraud, and conversations with ghosts.
A Hill to Die On is the unauthorized, unfiltered biography that dares to tell the full story.
Written with edge, clarity, and zero reverence, Will Stickle peels back the curated image and examines Hill's real legacy-not just what he taught, but how he thought, how he failed, and why his work still holds power today.
You'll discover:
- The true origins-and controversies-behind Think and Grow Rich
- The suppressed manuscript that revealed Hill's inner war
- His influence on Robbins, Proctor, Byrne, and the rise of spiritual capitalism
- The dark side of belief, guru culture, and blind faith
- What still makes Hill's principles dangerous-and essential
More than a biography, this book is a firestarter for thinkers, builders, skeptics, and seekers who are done with hype and ready for the hard truth: success doesn't start with a quote.
It starts with a decision.
