Napoleon Hill admired others who had overcome adversity. Edward Bok, publisher of the acclaimed Ladies' Home Journal, was one of the men whose life Hill examined because he overcame adversity to ultimately succeed. Bok wrote to Hill, and that letter formed the basis of one of Hill's lectures for his students. The Edward Bok story is an example of how Hill used others' experiences to learn from defeat and overcome hardships in life.

In 1952, Napoleon Hill spoke at a dental convention. He was introduced by insurance tycoon W. Clement Stone.

Over 50 years later, the book still sells well in the United States and all over the world.

He was 39 years old at the time, and he spoke of what he had learned from his failures in life up to that point.

This science was an exact study which laid down the principles by which anyone could realize his or her material goals no matter what ambitions they may be.
