An inspiring guide to facing difficult times with strength and courage—the only true path to success—from the greatest voice in personal success literature, Napoleon Hill. This newly annotated work from the Napoleon Hill Foundation collects a series of radio interviews Napoleon Hill gave as the world healed from the Second World War. With the world still recovering from the wounds, physical and mental, that accumulated from the conflict, Napoleon Hill felt that he could not enjoy retirement without coming forward one last time to deliver this series of talks. Hill's message was that success cannot be achieved without failure. Strength and innovation in the face of adversity is the only true success—exactly the kind of message that many readers will want to hear after a global pandemic has caused upset and conflict around the world today. Hill gives his advice for conditioning the mind for success, identifying the three great markers of failure, and more, in this valuable and inspiring guide.

Napoleon Hill was an American author in the area of the new thought movement who was one of the earliest producers of the modern genre of personal-success literature. He is widely considered to be one of the great writers on success. His most famous work, Think and Grow Rich (1937), is one of the best-selling books of all time (at the time of Hill's death in 1970, Think and Grow Rich had sold 20 million copies). Hill's works examined the power of personal beliefs, and the role they play in personal success. He became an advisor to President Franklin D. Roosevelt from 1933 to 1936. "What the mind of man can conceive and believe, it can achieve" is one of Hill's hallmark expressions. How achievement actually occurs, and a formula for it that puts success in reach of the average person, were the focal points of Hill's books.
