Sound Wisdom The Magic Ladder to Success: An Official Publication of the Napoleon Hill Foundation

One of Napoleon Hills must read books

This book is a very to-the-point presentation of Hill's principles for genuine success in life. It's based on a very large guide, "The Law of Success," which expands (it's lengthy) on these suggestions. No area of life is exempt from Hill's words, and for his time (back in the days of the Great Depression), Hill possessed great insight that applies as much today as it did back then. I was surprised to not have known of "The Magic Ladder to Success Before Now." It adds even greater understanding to "Think and Grow Rich" as well as Hill's other publications. - K Harwell

Over the past 40 years I've read and reread "Think and Grow Rich" every 3 or 4 years. While it's full of great stories and examples, for me it's almost "too much" or too dense, filled with too principles of success. Napoleon Hill was ahead of his time, and this book (published prior to "Think and Grow Rich") goes into greater depth of how the mind works. It reflects more of his metaphysical/spiritual bent than his subsequent works, so it's not for those who need more concrete explanations. I'm only part-way through the book, but I'm certainly glad I purchased it.

The description says 240 pages but my copy has 184 pages. Is this a different version? Otherwise its a great book.
