Outwitting The Devil Action Guide

Regain control over your own mind and conquer, once and for all, the negative influences in your environment with Napoleon Hill’s Outwitting the Devil Action Guide. After publishing his all-time bestseller Think and Grow Rich, Hill found himself plagued by indecision and unable to fully implement his own success principles. Forced to consult the Devil to understand the larger forces at work upon an individual, Hill discovered the greatest of all principles—a natural law that grants or denies humans spiritual and economic freedom, depending on how they use their mind. What emerges is an achievement philosophy that challenges the accepted wisdom of civilization and identifies independence of thought and harmonious relationships as the secret to freedom and success. Hill recorded his interview with darkness in Outwitting the Devil, which remained unpublished for 70 years later because of its controversial ideas. Truth is often embedded in stories we don’t want to hear. The Devil won for a span of time, but the victory is no longer his. The keys to freedom of thought and abundance—in all domains of life—are now available to you. This summary and action guide equips you to chart your own path to self-determination using Hill’s discoveries as your roadmap. The book is organized into 20 core success concepts whose mastery will help you harness the power of your thoughts and make nature’s greatest law work in your favor. Although suitable for individual study, readers will find the most benefit from discussing the principles in the context of a study group or book club. So, clear your mind of preconceived notions and dominant societal narratives, and prepare yourself to be taken on a journey of self-discovery that will restore power over your mind so that you can make life pay off on your own terms.

Originally written in 1938 but never published due to its controversial nature, an insightful guide reveals the seven principles of good that will allow anyone to triumph over the obstacles that must be faced in reaching personal goals.

Following the success of his 1937 landmark bestseller, Think and Grow Rich, Napoleon Hill wrote Outwitting the Devil, an exposé on the methods the Devil uses to ensnare and control the minds of human beings. Exploring the innermost depths of the psychology of motivation to understand why so many individuals, including himself, cannot find the initiative and courage they need to consistently implement the philosophy of individual achievement, Hill went so far as to interview the Devil himself. The resulting confession from the Devil made this book so controversial as to remain unpublished for over 70 years. Now it is your turn to break the Devil’s code and free yourself from the hidden methods of control that lead to ruin. In this reproduction of the complete text of Hill’s original manuscript is laid out the exact nature of the power by which the Devil disarms human beings with fear, procrastination, anger, and jealousy so that they do not reach their full potential. This is the same power that paralyzed millions of individuals with fear and despondency during the Great Depression and continues to hold people back from their dreams. Complacency and mediocrity are not the root issue; they are symptoms of deeper ills that we are conditioned by society to accept. But you must open your mind to acquire knowledge and consider facts that might not harmonize with your personal beliefs in order to access a greater truth that will, as Hill said in his original preface, “bring harmony out of chaos in this age of frustration and fear.” If you have been the victim of lost courage, weakened enthusiasm, and lack of self-discipline—if you are demoralized and plagued by fear, anxiety, overwhelm, or apathy—the seven principles to freedom detailed in this book herald your redemption. You will finally become independent of the causes of failure and misery, break the bonds of destructive habits, and unlock the secret of a natural law as significant as the law of gravity so that you can outwit the devil once and for all.

But as the venerable steel magnate Andrew Carnegie emphasized to Hill, “Confidence is a state of mind, necessary to succeed, and the starting point of developing self-confidence is definiteness of purpose.” The time for self-doubt and self-criticism is over.
