Legends 22: Trickster Devils

In his 1937 bestseller Think and Grow Rich, Napoleon Hill interviewed hundreds of American businessmen to gather their wisdom on how to achieve professional success. In his follow-up, Outwitting the Devil, Hill examines how failure and bad habits keep people from reaching their fullest potential, this time through a single interview—with the Devil himself.

Outwitting the Devil describes how you can escape the Devil’s influence and avoid being turned toward inaction and evil by dedicating yourself to concrete goals, embracing positive habits, and refusing to be defeated by failure. He argues that in doing so, you can find your way to professional and financial success. In our guide, we’ll explore HIll’s ideas and will examine their connections to the New Thought spiritual movement, as well as the impact his works had on the self-help world today, such as the works of Norman Vincent Peale and Rhonda Byrne.
