Napoleon Hill - with thanks to Wikipaedia:

Napoleon Hill ( October 26 , 1883 – November 8 , 1970 ) was an American author who was one of the earliest producers of the modern genre of personal-success literature. His most famous work, Think and Grow Rich , is one of the best-selling books of all time. Hill's works examined the power of personal beliefs, and the role they play in personal success.
"What the mind of man can conceive and believe, it can achieve" is one of Hill's hallmark expressions. How achievement actually occurs, and a formula for it that puts success in reach for the average person, were the focus of Hill's books.

According to his official biographer, Hill was born in poverty in a two-room cabin in the town of Pound in rural Wise County , Virginia . His mother died when he was ten years old. His father remarried two years later. At the age of thirteen, he began writing as a "mountain reporter" for small-town newspapers. He used his earnings as a reporter to enter law school, but soon had to withdraw for financial reasons. The turning point in his career is considered to have been in 1908 with his assignment, as part of a series of articles about famous men, to interview industrialist Andrew Carnegie , who at the time was one of the most powerful men in the world. Hill discovered that Carnegie believed that the process of success could be elaborated in a simple formula that could be duplicated by the average person. Impressed with Hill, Carnegie commissioned him (without pay and only offering to provide him with letters of reference) to interview over 500 successful men and women, many of them millionaires , in order to discover and publish this formula for success.

As part of his research, Hill interviewed many of the most famous people of the time, including Thomas Edison , Alexander Graham Bell , George Eastman , Henry Ford , Elmer Gates , John D. Rockefeller , Charles M. Schwab , F.W. Woolworth , William Wrigley Jr. , , William Jennings Bryan , Joseph Stalin , Theodore Roosevelt , William H. Taft , Woodrow Wilson , Charles Allen Ward and Jennings Randolph . The project lasted over twenty years, during which Hill became an advisor to Carnegie. As a result of these studies, the Philosophy of Achievement was offered as a formula for rags-to-riches success by Hill and Carnegie, published initially in 1928 as a study course called, The Law of Success . The Achievement formula was detailed further and published in home-study courses, including the seventeen-volume "Mental Dynamite" series until 1941.

From 1919 to 1920, Hill was the editor and publisher of Hill's Golden Rule magazine . In 1930 he published The Ladder to Success . From 1933 to 1936 Hill was an unpaid advisor to President Franklin Roosevelt . In 1937 Hill distilled the Philosophy of Achievement and produced his most famous work, Think and Grow Rich , which is still in print in several versions, and has sold more than thirty million copies...
