El proposito de este libro es ensenar a los lectores a entender porque son, como son. El porque de su conducta. Indicarles el camino hacia una vida diferente a la que han llevado hasta ahora y como esta, puede estar llena de satisfacciones y triunfos si asi lo desean. Que no todo en la vida esta perdido y se pueden llegar a convertir en grandes y apreciadas personas. Es necesario que los lectores comprendan que no todo es su culpa. Pero que culpar a los demas tampoco es la solucion a sus problemas. Que existe una forma sencilla de lograr el cambio, si estan dispuestos y convencidos de lograrlo. Si abren sus mentes y corazones a nuevos conocimientos y corrigen los errores que ellos no cometieron, pero que estan pagando. He clasifi cado a las personas en cuatro grupos, de acuerdo a la informacion que han recibido desde su concepcion. Esto no es un estudio cientifi co, es solamente el resultado de un analisis personal que he hecho durante varios anos. Es un analisis artesanal hecho dia tras dia, observando el comportamiento de personas sin ninguna limitacion cognitiva, (aunque si se han incluido personas con limitaciones fisicas y motoras) personas que esten en capacidad de dirigir - sin ninguna clase de ayuda - sus propias vidas. Se ha analizado la relacion con sus padres, el estimulo que ellos les brindaron desde su ninez y su relacion con profesores y otros adultos. Las expectativas de vida a la que aspiran, sus relaciones interpersonales, sus necesidades emocionales, su desarrollo personal, sus debilidades, sus complejos, su ego, su desarrollo espiritual y el desarrollo de sus capacidades de superacion. Utilizo en esta clasifi cacion un vocabulario simple para que sea facil de entender.

Napoleon Hill, America's most beloved motivational author, devoted 25 years to finding out how the wealthy became that way. After interviewing over 500 of the most affluent men and women of his time, he uncovered the secret to great wealth based on the notion that if we can learn to think like the rich, we can start to behave like them. By understanding and applying the thirteen simple steps that constitute Hill's formula, you can achieve your goals, change your life and join the ranks of the rich and successful.

In this updated edition, Dr. Arthur R. Pell provides examples of men and women who, in recent times, exemplify the principles that Hill promulgated. With the success stories of top achievers such as Bill Gates and Steven Spielberg, he proves that Hill's philosophies are as valid today as they ever were.
