Napoleon Hill's PMA: Science of Success - An Introduction
Almost unknown since his passing, Napoleon Hill polished his philosophy of individual achievement into a final version that updated and explained his perennial bestseller "Think and Grow Rich".
His final version is more workable and easier to apply than ever - in a course of 17 lessons.
This course gives exact theory and practical examples of how you can personally realize: "Whatever the mind can conceive and believe, the mind can achieve."
And it's true for any person who picks up and applies this material. No matter what education they've received, or their background, or where they live.
During the painstaking research to recover and relaunch the wildly successful PMA: Science of Success Course, a set of Napoleon Hill's classic television lectures were uncovered.
These lectures were carefully transcribed, edited, and collected into a single short manual for study. They now form a clear and simple introduction to his postgraduate course in goal achievement.
His talks have been simplified in language and aligned to the course's final order of lessons.
In this book, you also get many answers to unresolved questions left from his 1937 "Think and Grow Rich". That classic is the single book which has made more millionaires than any other in publishing history.
With his last updates and refinements, his Science of Success course promises to break that record.
This book is a simple introduction to the full course. So you can start applying these tested, natural principles to achieve, acquire or attain everything you want ouf of life.
Follow along as he polishes his premier course through his many lectures of that time period. And imagine you are in his studio audience as he talks directly to you through these pages.
Excerpt:
DEFINITENESS OF PURPOSE is the first and most basic step is the first clue to the system of personal achievement which underlay all great successes in every calling in every part of the world.
Psychologists have discovered a natural law which is the very foundation of all personal successes, and I can describe it to you in one short sentence so you can understand it:
Whatever the mind can conceive and believe the mind can achieve.
Isn't that a profound statement? You will notice that it says nothing about the need for education, but simply that whatever your mind can conceive and believe your mind can achieve. Now, if you want evidence that the mind can achieve whatever the mind can conceive without the benefit of formal education, you all have to remember that Thomas A. Edison conceived the idea of becoming an inventor and lived to become the world's greatest scientist in the field of invention with only three months of common school education.
I was first challenged by Andrew Carnegie to research and document this set of natural principles which makes it possible for you and I and everyone else to write his own price tag in life and attain it. That research and documentation took the rest of my life to this point and was paid for without any grant or outside financing, but through use of the Philosophy itself as it was discovered, tested, and refined. You have in your hands today what is close to a final summation of over 60 years of study and testing.
My search led me to the study of the spiritual forces with which all of us are blessed and it was in this field that I came upon a clue which has enabled me to help millions of people to find their earthly destinies. I want to describe my discovery in the simplest terms possible because it will reveal to you how that one statement above is true, regardless of how many times you may have failed in the past or how lofty your aims and hopes may be...
