This is a 9 CD collection of live lectures that Hill conducted in Chicago in 1954. It covers the 17 Principles of Personal Achievement (also known as the 17 Keys to Success) over 12 hours. It amazes me that something so wonderful exists and is so inexpensive. I am more amazed by the fact that so few people are aware of it. It is a joy to hear the principles explained in Hill's own voice. I was not fortunate enough to take his classes, but this is the next best thing. This is the best way to get to know this great man. He was wise, humble and funny.
There are thousands of self-help books out in the market and hundreds of self proclaimed "gurus" who have made a living by copying the wisdom in Napoleon Hill's books. As I went through some of those books I realized that there was not much in them that Hill had not already written about. I recommend quality over quantity. Instead of reading through many books, I recommend that you study the following works of Hill and internalize his wisdom:
1. The Think and Grow Rich Action Pack (1937) - I recommend the Action Pack edition,
2. Napoleon Hill's Keys to Success: The 17 Principles of Personal Achievement - this is an excellent guide to his principles,
3. Your Right To Be Rich [Unabridged] - this item.
By internalizing, I mean studying in depth - analyzing the ideas, making notes and summaries. I own more CDs by Hill, but I believe that these 3 items make the perfect study plan on the Philosophy of Personal Achievement.
This philosophy is the end product of two decades of research conducted by Napoleon Hill. His research started when Andrew Carnegie (the steel tycoon who was then the richest man on earth) gave him the assignment of organizing a Philosophy of Personal Achievement. Hill, who was a poor journalist, armed with just an introductory letter from Carnegie, set out to interview over five hundred successful people including Henry Ford, Thomas Edison, Alexander Graham Bell, John D. Rockefeller, George Eastman, William Wrigley Jr. and Charles M. Schwab. Hill then revealed the priceless wisdom of his research in the form of the thirteen steps to success (in Think and Grow Rich) and the seventeen principles of success (in courses and lectures he conducted).
The concepts taught by Napoleon Hill transformed my life. Some of these include developing a definite purpose, building a Positive Mental Attitude (PMA), channeling the power of the sub-conscious mind and dealing with adversity. Everything he wrote about or talked about is thought provoking. His philosophy is universal; he did not mix it with religion. The riches he referred to were more than money, for the Philosophy of Personal Achievement can be applied to anything in life.
Hill was well ahead of his time. "Think and Grow Rich" has a chapter dedicated to some of today's most important issues - Specialized Knowledge, Decision Making, Imagination and Organized Planning (in which he deals with Leadership). And his principles deal with Teamwork, Creative Vision, Health, etc.
I am greatly indebted to Napoleon Hill. The purpose of my writing this is to spread awareness of his work so that more people can benefit from it. This, I believe is the best way in which Hill would have liked to have been repaid.
If my review was helpful to you, I request you to select "Yes" so that the rating is improved and more readers will get to read it.

If you've read Think and Grow Rich, or any other of Hill's books, these tape recordings of Hill speaking live will set your heart on fire! Here he is, the Man who's made more millionaires than anyone else in American history...and he'll show you how to be SUCCESSFUL at fulfilling your purpose in life.

These tapes are DYNAMITE! You'll hear Hill and his audience having fun with the powerful principles he taught so well... and listening to these recordings will inspire you to GO FOR IT! Can't recommend them enough!

If you're feeling discouraged or lacking direction, listen to this and other recordings like it. I like this one better than "Think and grow rich." Napoleon Hill has good guidance to keep you on track towards success and words that will lift your spirits and drive away the dark, negative thoughts that try to drag you down into failure. I think this recording should basically replace the bible. This IS my bible.

Lately, I have started asking my subconscious to give me guidance on what to do, to tell me what the best course would be to get to my goals. I recently started out with a certain business plan, but soon after I started, I realized that plan was seriously flawed. It would require too much work for too little profit. So I asked my subconscious to give me a better plan. I did this by visualizing getting the exact success I wanted. Within a day or two, I got a much better business plan from my subconscious. Then I asked for further help with the plan and I got that also. Now all the pieces are falling into place, and NOW, finally, it looks to me like success is imminent and I know exactly what I'm doing. I have recently studied marketing a lot, and I've also studied my particular field of business and thought about it. Then I left it up to my subconscious to process that information and give me the best plan to follow to achieve my goals. It all seems so easy now.

I used to be skeptical about using the power of my subconscious, but if you put yourself in a totally positive frame of mind and free yourself from doubts and fears, and then use the visualization techniques to see your success, then it DOES WORK. You open your mind to your subconscious and allow it to give you the answers you need - the direction and steps you need to proceed to your goals. You cast off your psychological limitations and allow yourself to proceed rapidly towards your goals. NEVER doubt your abilities. Do not worry about anything. But at the same time, act prudently, do your research, and use all the wisdom you've learned. Don't act foolishly or recklessly. Know what you're doing. Don't guess when you're starting a business.

Make sure you have plenty of paper and write down plenty of notes while you listen. You learn FAR better that way. Also it's nice to use pens of many different colors and alternate between them. Your notes stand out much more that way.

I wasn't sure if I needed yet another Napolean Hill program. I already had Think and Grow Rich and few other tapes that Hill had produced. And I really didn't know if I was ready for 12 hours of tapes.

Now that I have bought the tape set, I can honestly say that this was one of the best investments I ever made. Hill covers the 17 principles like never before. Hill is witty and funny too.

This tape set is almost like a audio version of The Law of Success. It contains live lectures done by Hill in the 50's. If you have never heard Hill do a live lecture, then you must get this set. It is outstanding. Hill is fantastic and the material is incredible.

Great Investment! To hear Mr. Hill share his personal stories and place emphasizes on certain principles is wonderful. You will enjoy listening to the original motivational speaker. There is a wealth of information, wisdom and insight to be gained from listening to each CD. You will be glad you purchased this set (especially if you can get it at a discounted price)

What makes Napoleon Hill's work last the test of time is the fact that it's not hype. The principles are timeless. Hill delivery is passionate and systematic.

This set of cd's is priceless. What I find of value is that these are recordings of his lectures. It's best to take notes.

This collection is a must have for everyone.

Hello, I have listened to a lot of self help speakers and read a lot of books, about 150. I have to say that listening to mr Hill live is mesmerizing, 12 hours!!!. He talks and screams so i get very motivated and influenced. He is also very funny. He outlines all character traits and actions one needs to do to succeed with whatever one wants. He outlines 17 universal principles of success. It is not exactly the same as in law of success, it's like a mix between law of success and think and grow rich. It contains many things that are not in any one of those two books. I will listen to this program consistently since it contains almost everything i need to know to succeed and be the best i can be. I recommend everybody to buy it. It is extremely lowpriced for what you get for the money.

If more people spent less time watching tv and more time educating themselves through these live lectures they would find more energy and probably get more excited about life, you only go round once. Life is an education and these recordings are straight to the point. The old ones are the best, most modern day speakers get their info from the likes of Dr. Hill, this audio programme is simply brilliant. I would also recommend the Science Of Personal Achievement and Think and Grow Rich.

If you are a Napoleon Hill fan, (I became one not from "Think and Grow Rich" but from "The Master Key to Riches"),this will expound upon the great insights and truths he illuminates in his other works. He gives much more detail on how to pinpoint your definiteness of purpose, key ways to use autosuggestion, (very unclear in his other works), and exactly what consitutes a "mastermind". I also appreciated some of the "negatives" that are not referred to in his other works, such as keeping away from naysayers who will put you down, and the part envy plays in people who have no purpose wanting to sabatoge those who do (not the theme of his lectures, but showing you that his understanding is not a Pollyana type panacea).

All in all, this is more from the greatest genius in self-help. Wonderful~

I have listened to many motivation speakers over the past several years and this comes very close to the top. This program is the source; and I would have bought it long time ago if I knew it was available. Napoleon was ahead of his time! He was articulate, practical, humble and intelligent. This program is not about financial riches, it is about giving us a road map for success in all aspects of our lives (health, wealth, communication, relationships, growth and development, faith and more). The 17 success factors were explained in great detail with examples so we can put them to work immediately. If you travel this program is ideal for listening on the road. The fidelity of the recording is great and hearing Napoleon speaks was a treat! I recommend this program to anyone who is serious about taking charge of her or his life.
