LAw OF SUCCESS IS COMPRISED OF THE KEY PRINCIPLES THAT FORM 
the foundation of Napoleon Hill's philosophy of personal achievement. 
The genesis of the principles explored in Law of Success date 
from the day in I908 when Napoleon Hill was assigned to write a 
magazine profile on steel baron and philanthropist Andrew Carnegie. 
During their interview Carnegie became so impressed with the young 
writer that what was to have been a brief interview stretched into a 
three-day marathon. It concluded with Carnegie offering to introduce 
Napoleon Hill to the most powerful men of the day in order that 
Hill could learn from each of them the secrets of their success. It was 
Carnegie's vision that, in so doing, Hill would be able to formulate a 
philosophy that could be used by anyone to help themselves create 
their own success and realize their dreams. 
As Napoleon Hill pursued his mission, he wrote thousands of 
articles and profiles, launched his own magazines, developed home-
study courses, started training centers, and opened a business college 
-all inspired by his evolving philosophy. He also created a lecture 
series that brought him wide recognition as an inspiring public speaker 
on the subject of success and personal achievement. Through it all, 
Napoleon Hill was constantly testing and modifying his theories until 
they became refined into a set of specific principles that together 
formed the cohesive philosophy Andrew Carnegie had envisioned.

In 1927 Napoleon Hill finally assembled what would become 
the first edition of Law oj Success. Then, in what proved to be a bril-
liant marketing concept, his publisher chose to release it not as a 
single book but as a set of eight volumes. The entire collection was an 
immediate and astounding success. 
In its first edition Law oj Success presented fifteen principles. In 
later editions the number was expanded to sixteen as Hill came to 
believe that The Master Mind, which had been part of the intro-
duction to the first edition, was in fact a separate principle unto itsel£ 
Later still, he concluded that there was another key principle that in 
effect unified the others. This newly recognized principle he termed 
Cosmic Habitforce, which, when he began working with W. Clement 
Stone, was also referred to as the Universal Law. Over the years there 
have been at least five authorized editions that revised or added 
material, and in its various forms the book has been reprinted more 
than fifty times. This newly revised and updated twenty-first-century 
edition is the first to include all seventeen principles. 
In preparing this edition of Law oj Success] the editors have 
attempted to allow Hill to be as modern an author as if he were 
still among us, and we have treated the text as we would the text of 
a living author. When we encountered what modern grammarians 
would consider run-on sentences, outdated punctuation, or other 
matters of form, we opted for contemporary usage. If something 
was obscure or misleading because the author's language was idio-
syncratic or archaic, or when it might be construed as out of step 
with modern thinking, minor alterations were made. 
A more challenging issue was the question of how to update the 
actual content of the book. In carefully reviewing the original text, it 
became clear that the answer was not to simply replace the examples 
cited by Hill with similar stories about contemporary people. The 
anecdotes and examples used by Napoleon Hill were so integral to 
the point being made or the principle being discussed that to replace 
them just for the sake of having a more contemporary name would 
do nothing to make it better. The editors concluded that the best 
course was to instead augment with additional stories that would
