Napoleon Hill even talked on video tapes and sold many books. Highly doubt that he died penniless.

If he did, then so too are millions of Americans who also died 'penniless'. These people may have fewer than $100k to their name when they died and that's considered penniless I guess.

In any case, he lived till 87 years old which is better than average at that time.

 

Facts

Agree

How about you take the best parts of each book and create your own success principles?

The idea of seeking out a single 'bible' of success is very problematic. Books are bodies of text. The truth about human performance, motivation and achievement is something entirely different. You can only glimpse this truth through testing the ideas for yourself and observing their internal effects.

Your thinking feels very muddled, rigid and confused. I think others may have pointed this out previously. I do not think finding the right success bible will help you. You need to transform your thinking from the ground up which is way beyond the scope of a single book.

In order to get good result, one need to pick a system and implement it 100%. Think and grow rich and 7 habits are 2 different system. There is big difference between applying one system 5% vs applying it 100%

success principles + mastery by george leonard is what looks logical to me atm . I will go with it and see how it goes

[Ramanujan]

I now moved to Stephen Covey . Stephen Covey looks  the most logical . Stephen Covey + wisdoms from Cal Newport is my way for now

[Ramanujan]

@Leo Gura leo what do I do. I constantly switch between back and forth between 7 habits , mastery and think and grow rich
