WFG presents, Sharon Lechter, co-author of Rich Dad, Poor Dad and founder of Pay Your Family First, a financial education organization. She will be discussing “Outwitting the Devil: The Secret to Freedom and Success” written by Napoleon Hill and annotated by Sharon Lechter, which was released on June 7, 2011. In Outwitting the Devil, the Devil uses many tricks to ensnare people and to stop them from living meaningful, fulfilling lives. Written during a depressed economy so many decades ago, this book is still so relevant today in our own recession. Lechter says this 73-year-old manuscript “provides the keys for each of us to outwit the Devil in our own lives” and chart a course for success. Hill (1883–1970) opens with a compelling memoir of how, as a successful writer, he was asked by Andrew Carnegie to interview top tycoons and distill their knowledge into a philosophy of personal achievement. Hill followed his huge 1937 bestseller, Think and Grow Rich, with this book, which has remained unpublished until now because his wife feared a reaction from organized religion to a book consisting of an interview with the Devil and also in light of world events in the late ’30s. Wanting to be addressed as “Your Majesty,” the Devil claims that though he controls 98% of all people, “My opponent controls all the positive forces of the world, such as love, faith, hope, and optimism.” Asked about churches, he responds, “Do you think I am a fool? Who would keep alive the fear of the Devil if I subdued the churches?” As the devilish dialogue progresses, Satanic schemes and tricks are revealed, while Hill’s own observations on success, failure, and human behavior emerge. Many readers will find that Hill’s writings still remain relevant today. NFP Spotlight: ChildHelp Co-Sponsors: APS/AAAME and The Napoleon Hill Foundation Register here
