Talk:The Law of Success

message: It's on Cleanup, but I think this should either a delete, or a redirect to Napoleon Hill. The article was started by an anon in May 2004 and hasn't been worked on since. Suspect the intention was to promote the website for "a motivational centre in Malaysia: KERSANI Training Centre where the book "has been used." The website isn't in English so I can't find out from the site what the book is or how it's used.
I can't even tell for sure what book is being discussed—the author isn't named!  
I'm guessing it's The Law of Success by Napoleon Hill. Amazon shows it as only available hardbound and in audio book format; I'm surprised it's not in paperback; this suggests to me that connoisseurs of the success oeuvre regard it as far less significant than Think and Grow Rich. Sales rank of one volume of the hardbound edition is 91,661. (Amazon sales rank of Think and Grow Rich is 391!!!!) So, the book itself is borderline; if someone deeply familiar with it actually wanted to do a good whole article on it, that would be OK, but it's not anything we actually need.  
Actually the book described in the article not seem to match perfectly with descriptions of the Napoleon Hill book, as it says there are forty chapters altogether, and the Amazon reference is entitled "The Law of Success In Sixteen Lessons," while as everybody knows (i.e. it's in another book title and is mentioned in our article on Think and Grow Rich) Hill had seventeen principles of success.
Judging by past history, I think it is very, very unlikely that the original author or anyone else is going to do much with it. Dpbsmith (talk) 15:02, 3 Sep 2004 (UTC)

message: === Hill's Claims ===
"The work was originally commissioned at the request of Andrew Carnegie at the conclusion of a multi-day interview with Hill, and was based upon interviews of over 100 American millionaires across nearly 20 years, including such self-made industrial giants as Henry Ford, J. P. Morgan, John D. Rockefeller, Alexander Graham Bell, and Thomas Edison. "
Is there any evidence for this claim?

thread_title:  Hill's Claims 

message: Having read both "the law of success in 16 lessons" (electronic edition) and hard cover "The Law of Success - original 1925" edition by ORNE Publishing, I found the electronic edition had page discrepancies and some continuity issues, none of which were present in Hard Cover copy edition.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by Mkevlar (talk • contribs) 07:37, 27 November 2014 (UTC)
