Originally delivered 1917 · Restored in full
The lost course that built Think and Grow Rich
Seventeen lectures Napoleon Hill delivered to a paying room, transcribed word for word — and then left in an archive for a century.
A letter from Russell Brunson:
Hill said it out loud before he ever wrote it down
In 1917, Napoleon Hill stood in front of a room of students who had each paid to hear him speak. He had no bestseller yet. What he had was a working theory about how men accumulate wealth, and a stenographer in the back of the room.
Those transcripts are the raw material that became Think and Grow Rich twenty years later. They are blunter than the book. Hill names the people he studied, admits what he did not yet understand, and repeats the ideas he considered non-negotiable until the room could not miss them.
“The man who knows exactly what he wants has an advantage over the crowd that has never decided.”
Lecture four · Definiteness of purpose
What's inside
- All seventeen lectures, unedited and in the order they were delivered.
- The passages Hill cut before publication, with notes on why they likely went.
- A typeset facsimile of the original 1917 programme.
Printed once, in a run of five hundred. When they are gone, they are gone — we do not hold stock back for a second printing.

NAPOLEON HILL'S GOLDEN RULE
