Achieving Business Success

[Spiritman]

Wow! I've listened to the Laws of Success in 16 Lessons, but I'll have to get the paper version at some point!

Dan I wanted to give some background on this version. I am going copy and paste a review from Amazon that gets to the point about this version.

"When the 1925 manuscripts first popped up by way of Steve Paris' infomercial, we were led to believe that the 1925 manuscripts were some secret document that Napoleon Hill was forced to censor due to the fact that the powerful men whom Hill interviewed didn't want their secrets revealed to the masses. The main driver behind this story was Kevin Trudeau. But, after doing much research, I found that that isn't true. I've spoken with J.D. Okken (the publisher of this particular edition), and Steve Paris as well (with whom I was good friends) and the truth came out. The truth is that the 1925 edition was only a manuscript, an incomplete book outlining the basic principles, that was given to the people whom Hill interviewed. Hill then spent the next 3 years organizing and compiling more data for the final release of The Law of Success.

I've read this edition and the 1928 edition numerous times and I agree with the Napoleon Hill foundation in that nothing of great important was removed. If you're looking for a more concise work, the 1925 is for you. But if you don't mind reading a more detailed book, the 1928 edition is for you. One can't go wrong with either book. I prefer the 1928 edition due to the fact that it has what I consider to be a really vital lesson titled "The Habit of Saving" which wasn't included in the 1925 edition. The savings habit was only passively mentioned in the lesson on Self-Control in the 1925 manuscripts.

There it is, people. Don't believe the hype about there being some conspiracy to censor Hill. It's just a clever story made up in order to sell products." Sean T. Carter
