Jumia Books Outwitting The Devil By Napoleon Hill, Black, Inspirational

In 1908, would-be author of the global phenomenon that became Think and Grow Rich, Napoleon Hill, interviewed the richest man in America: Andrew Carnegie. Carnegie had already sold his steel company to J. P. Morgan at the time and thus amassed a fortune of some $370+ billion dollars in modern-day estimations. That’s over three times more than Jeff Bezos of Amazon.

When Hill told Carnegie that he planned to enter law school and interview successful people to earn money on the side, the business magnate made an odd request. Why couldn’t Hill just interview people full time? Both the successes and the failures? Carnegie was convinced people needed to learn not so much from books, but from others who’d gone through “the school of life.”
