Publisher's Synopsis
The devil is walking the earth, and he speaks to us every day: about suspicion, about self-doubt, about failure and misery. More than anything, he wants to stop us from believing in ourselves and to hand over our fates to negative thoughts, passive acceptance, and physical pain. Outwitting the Devil is a surprising confession revealed by Satan himself, who-after being outwitted by the legendary success guru Napoleon Hill-relinquishes his secrets about hidden methods of control that can lead any man to ruin. With this long-suppressed account, readers will gain the ability to break free from what prevents over 98% of the world's population from achieving lasting success. Written by Napoleon Hill in 1938, just after Think and Grow Rich, this moving parable has been annotated and edited for today's audience by Rich Dad, Poor Dad and Three Feet from Gold co-author Sharon Lechter. Napoleon Hill divides the dangers we face into three categories-forces that, when combined, become the greatest menace we will encounter in life, starting in childhood. These obstacles are the habit of drifting without a clear objective in mind, the hypnotic rhythm through which negative habits become permanent, and the element of time. We are in danger of relinquishing our independence and our ability to develop the self-discipline necessary to break the bonds of insecurity, discontent, and ego-driven inhibition that lead to financial hardship, psychological instability, and even physical ailments. Napoleon Hill, aided by the incisive commentary of Sharon Lechter, has created a new path to harmony out of the chaos of an age of destruction and fear.
