The book gives 15 principles to help people become more successful throughout life. Although this book was written in the early 1900's, the principles and tips are still good for the current day and age.

I received a copy of the book via NetGalley and am voluntarily leaving an honest review.

This book was received as an ARC from St. Martin's Press in exchange for an honest review. Opinions and thoughts expressed in this review are completely my own.

I have been wanting to read this book for many years but I could never get my hands on a copy and when I read that St. Martin's Press was re-releasing the book, I immediately jumped out of my chair and requested an ARC. So many colleagues, friends, and former teachers praise this book so frequently that I just had to find out for myself since my whole life I have been in constant battles of balance of wealth, prosperity, and happiness. Reading this book (in a good way) was like I was sitting in at one of Napoleon Hill's lectures actually participating and taking notes. I was afraid that all of his lessons would be in proper English and the vocab used would be difficult to comprehend to the point I needed a dictionary but, from context, all of the information was easy to understand and easy to take in and apply. I was also intimidated at first of the length of the book but, all of the lessons are so insightful that before I knew it, I finished the book.

We will consider adding this title to our B Non-Fiction collection at our library. That is why we give this book 5 stars.

Lessons for Achieving Success

Published in 1928, Napoleon Hill’s The Law of Success has been widely read and his principles followed by many people. The book contains fifteen lessons on such topics as self-confidence, enthusiasm, and imagination. While the book was published many years ago these topics are still relevant. The lessons are designed to make you think about how you approach your desires and how you present yourself.

This book is very detailed. Each lesson is rather long and considering that it was written many years ago it can be more difficult to read than current self-help books. However, the content is excellent. I think the fact that the it takes some work to read the book is good. It makes you think about what you’re reading. I particularly like that the lessons are process rather than outcome oriented. Process is what gets you to where you want to be. It can be hard work, but it is what brings the outcome of success.

The best way to use this book is to read each lesson and decide how you can use the material to fit into your plan for success.

I received this book from St. Martin’s Press for this review.

This was an interesting read! It wasn't quite what I expected. The organization of topics could have been a bit more structured.

Thank you to the publisher and to NetGalley for this ARC in exchange for an honest review.
