2 Reasons To Read Napoleon Hill's 2nd Book "Outwitting The Devil"
When I say Napoleon Hill, you think "Think and Grow Rich".
But did you know he wrote another book?
It is called 'Outwitting the devil', written in 1930, but not published until 2011. He wrote the book, because he was still seeing many people fail after following all of the steps he had given in Think and Grow rich. His wife Annie Lou didn't want the book to be published because of it's controversy.
Now, 81 years later, it finally is.
'Outwitting the devil' covers topics such as fear, procrastination, doubt, and negative thinking.
The book is presented in the form of a conversation between Hill and the 'devil'. The devil presents obstacles and temptations that prevent people from achieving success and happiness. I stumbled upon this book recently and fell in love with it. 'Listening' to the conversation is fun and it felt like I was let in on a secret.
If you are a fan of Think and Grow Rich, you will definitely enjoy 'Outwitting the devil' too.
2 reasons why you want to read this book
The book gives a clear perspective on the temptations and obstacles in daily life. It explains the difference between drifters (people without a definite purpose) and non-drifters (focused people with a definite purpose) and what the consequences are of drifting.
The book is filled with practical advice, insights and strategies on how to conquer these obstacles and how to maintain definiteness of purpose.
There are many more reasons, but I wanted to highlight the 2 that aren't covered in dept in Think & Grow Rich.
“Nature will not tolerate idleness or vacuums of any sort. All space must be and is filled with something . . . When the individual does not use the brain for the expression of positive, creative thoughts, nature fills the vacuum by forcing the brain to act upon negative thoughts.” ― Napoleon Hill, Outwitting the Devil: The Secret to Freedom and Success
Tip: On YouTube you can find the audio book if you prefer to listen.
