The Positive Side of the Street - by Napoleon Hill (Hardcover)

About the Book

"Napoleon Hill was best known for 'Think and Grow Rich,' which explained his ... approach to wealth-building. Retired and living in South Carolina in the mid-1950s, he remained intent on spreading his philosophy and offered a series of lectures in Oklahoma explaining his views on success, happiness, and more. The recordings of these lectures were never released, and only recently found in the archives of the Napoleon Hill Foundation. Now published in this volume, these lectures show Napoleon Hill as a teacher, philosopher, and eternal optimist who believed in the power of individuals to achieve any goals they establish"--Dust jacket fla

Book Synopsis

In 1964, Napoleon Hill presented a series of lectures that have never been published--until now.

"The subconscious mind doesn't know the difference between a penny and a million dollars. It does not know the difference between success and failure, and it'll work just as hard to make a failure out of you as it will to make a success out of you if you don't condition your mind to keep the subconscious mind working with and for the things you want and away from the things you don't want.

"The majority of people spend their lives worrying and fearing and fretting over the things they don't want, and that's exactly what they're getting out of life. I try to make allowances for the weaknesses and for the mistakes of other people that affect my interest. I don't always do a good job of it but I try. I try to keep my mental attitude positive at all times toward all people about all subjects. I want to tell you that this effort on my part has gone a long way toward placing me in a position where I can say, as I said to you this morning, that I have acquired in this life everything that I need, everything that I want, everything that I desire. I have no fears, no frustrations, no disappointments. I have good, sound health. I have a happy home." --An excerpt from one of Napoleon Hill's last public lectures--available for the first time from the Napoleon Hill Foundation
