Following the success of his 1937 landmark bestseller Think and Grow Rich, Napoleon Hill publishes Outwitting the Devil — an exposé of how the Devil ensnares and controls human minds. Hill went so far as to interview the Devil himself to delve deeper into motivation psychology and understand why so many people lack the initiative and courage required to consistently implement the philosophy of individual achievement. The Devil's confession made this book so contentious that it went unpublished for over 70 years. If you have been the victim of lost courage, weakened enthusiasm, and a lack of self-discipline — if you are demoralised and plagued by fear, anxiety, overwhelm, or apathy — the seven freedom principles outlined in this book will herald your redemption. You will finally be free of the causes of failure and misery, breaking free from destructive habits and uncovering the secret of a natural law as powerful as gravity, allowing you to defeat the devil once and for all.
