Outwitting the Devil

The Secret to Freedom and Success

By: Napoleon Hill, Sharon L. Lechter - editor, Mark Victor Hansen - foreword

Narrated by: Dan John Miller, Phil Gigante

“Napoleon Hill was one of America’s great, influential thinkers who continues to have an enormous impact today.” - Steve Forbes, editor-in-chief of Forbes magazine

Bestselling author Napoleon Hill reveals the seven principles of good that allow us to triumph over obstacles...and find success.

Using his legendary ability to get to the root of human potential, Napoleon Hill digs deep to reveal how fear, procrastination, anger, and jealousy prevent us from realizing our personal goals. This long-suppressed parable, once considered too controversial to publish, was written by Hill in 1938 following the publication of his classic bestseller, Think and Grow Rich. Annotated and edited for a contemporary audience by Rich Dad, Poor Dad and Three Feet from Gold coauthor Sharon Lechter, this book is profound, powerful, resonant, and rich with insight.

Critic reviews

"My simple faith is this: If we are created in God’s image, then we were born to create, and to create is to prosper. [This] previously unpublished Napoleon Hill manuscript.... I’ve read it and recommend it." (Rich Karlgaard, Publisher of Forbes magazine)

Shutup Sharon!!!

Would you recommend this book to a friend? Why or why not?

Like many of the other reviewers Sheron Lechter's comments totally ruin the book. It added nothing but defocuses from the contents

Obnoxious editor narration

The audiobook would be fabulous without the obnoxious and pointless narration from Sharon letcher, if her useless commentary could be removed from the audiobook, I’d have nothing bad to say, 5 stars across the board without her 2 cents interspersed through out.

Who is this lady?

I ordered a book written by Napoleon Hill... Not a book written by Napoleon Hill with interruptions every 5 minutes by a lady who wants to give you her opinions while reading the book.... Almost couldn’t finish it. Great concept and well written just hard to get in a flow when this gal interrupts the flow every time you finally get back into it. I’ve never written. Negative review before, but I can’t understate how turned off I was by the unorthodox decision to babysit the listener as they go through the discussions. Very disappointed in what otherwise would have been an amazing audio book that I’d go back to often enough. Thanks for writing this Napoleon... May you Rest In Peace. No thanks to the baby sitter.

Needless interruptions

Just as you are beginning to be able to concentrate on this tremendous text, a woman interrupts like a fifth grade school teacher and asks the silliest of questions. The premise of the book is thinking for yourself. Her incessant interruptions keep asking the listener how he feels. The interruptions are distracting beyond belief. I have never listened to an audiobook in which an editor interjects inane commentary. I hope to be able to find a recording of this book without the needless chitchat.

For such a time as this.

Powerful and compelling. The words are as true today as when they were written.
