How Resilience Defines the Restaurant Industry

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.

Published in 1937, 'Think and Grow Rich' is a seminal work in the self-help genre. The book is the result of over twenty years of research by Napoleon Hill, who studied the habits and achievements of more than 500 successful individuals, including Andrew Carnegie, Thomas Edison, and Henry Ford. Hill distills their wisdom into thirteen principles that, when practiced with persistence and faith, can transform dreams into reality. These principles include the power of desire, faith, specialized knowledge, organized planning, and the role of the subconscious mind. The book emphasizes the importance of maintaining a positive mental attitude, setting clear and specific goals, and taking consistent action to achieve success. It also explores the concept of the 'Master Mind' alliance and the need to overcome fears and doubts to achieve one's objectives.
