Outwitting the Devil

Written in 1938 by Napoleon Hill, 'Outwitting the Devil' was considered too controversial to be published in its era.

The book is presented as an interview between Hill (Mr.

Earthbound) and the devil (our inner dark self), where Hill uncovers the secrets to freedom and success by evaluating the greatest obstacles humans face in achieving their personal goals.

The book discusses topics such as the difference between drifters and non-drifters, maintaining a definiteness of purpose, finding one’s other self, Hill’s seven principles, and the law of hypnotic rhythm.

Annotated and edited for a contemporary audience by Sharon Lechter, it was finally published in June 2011.
