The updated and most complete edition of Napoleon Hill's masterwork.Napoleon Hill stunned America when he published the first edition of" The Law of Success." It had taken Hill twenty years to research and write. He had personally met with hundreds of the most famous self-made multimillionaires so he could study their habits, analyze their methods, and learn their secrets of success. After further testing and proving his theories, Napoleon Hill refined them into 17 basic principles that anyone could master and use."Volume IV, The Principles of Personal Integrity"This recording explains step-by-step how you can use the following five Principles of Success: * Cooperation: eliminate envy and greed, and learn to apply the Law of the Master Mind in all of your relationships.* Profiting by Failure: Train yourself to recognize the difference between failure and what is just a temporary defeat.* Tolerance: Eliminate mistrust and doubts so you can reap the rewards that come naturally to accurate thinkers.* The Golden Rule: Use this most basic law of life to ensure cooperation from any individual or group.* The Universal Law: Transform your thoughts and habits so they harmonize with success-consciousness.This revised and updated edition-- the fourth of four volumes-- incorporates new information, explains historical context, and augments Napoleon Hill's original examples with contemporary stories which conclusively prove that "The Law of Success" is as relevant and applicable today as it was when this landmark book was first published.Read by Mario Rosales.… (more)

A lot of the material here overlaps with his later work (particularly Think & Grow Rich), but there are some valuable new details, and even what's repeated mostly bears repeating.

The principles covered in this final volume include cooperation, profiting by failure, tolerance, and the Golden Rule. The first two are especially good, and for more on cooperation, check out Peter Thiel's Zero to One, and for more on profiting by failure, see Ryan Holiday's The Obstacle is the Way. Hill's treatment of the last two principles is a bit more mixed and gets a bit bogged down with some confused religious ideas (as suggested by his use of the Golden Rule as one of his most important principles of success). But still, the discerning reader can ignore what doesn't work and find much of value here.

This edition ends with the Universal Law, which is again a somewhat mixed but still potentially invaluable discussion of developing habits of thought to make success almost inevitable. This provides a nice summation of all the preceding principles of the course (hence why it's called the universal law). If you enjoyed Think & Grow Rich, this is definitely worth reading to supplement and enhance that material.
