IT ALL STARTED WITH CARNEGIE AND HILL Few things in recent history have had the impact of The Secret. Created by Rhonda Byrnes, the video program and book have taken the ideas of the New Thought Movement that flourished in America at the turn of the twentieth century and made them as intriguing as The Da Vinci Code and as up-to-date as this morning-s headlines. This book, The Secret Law of Attraction as explained by Napoleon Hill, focuses its attention on two of the most famous names mentioned as keepers of the secret--Andrew Carnegie and Napoleon Hill--and on how Carnegie conveyed his understanding of this Secret Law of Attraction to Hill--who, in turn, transformed those concepts into the best-selling success book in the history of Think and Grow Rich. THE COMPLETE SECRET IN ONE BOOK For the first time, Napoleon Hill-s books have been carefully analyzed to identify those passages dealing with the Law of Attraction as well as the lesser-known of Carnegie-s laws that govern personal achievement and success. These key sections have been brought together between the covers of this one book, The Secret Law of Attraction
Oliver Napoleon Hill was an American self-help author and conman. He is best known for his book Think and Grow Rich (1937), which is among the best-selling self-help books of all time. Hill's works insisted that fervid expectations are essential to improving one's life. Most of his books were promoted as expounding principles to achieve "success". Hill is a controversial figure. Accused of fraud, modern historians also doubt many of his claims, such as that he met Andrew Carnegie and that he was an attorney.
Well, the book is great. However, the condensed materialistic techniques to make wealth take everybody direct to the future on the account of the present! What about living today in a good moral kind of balance? And: it attracts everybody to wanting wealth ( this is the book focus and only! directly or indirectly ) without paying attention to what a human being wants!! It might not be “wealth”!! The book teaches how to be rich but it doesn’t tell how to be happy!! It simply did not meet my personal ambitions and dreams.
This was a good book that puts to rest the "secret" of the law of attraction. There is something behind it and it doesn't just happen magically without effort.
