Why you should read Outwitting the Devil by Napoleon Hill
and what I got out of it?
So I have read quite a few books on self help and personal
development. I think that one of the
best books I have read thus far is Napoleon Hill’s Outwitting the Devil.
In the book Napoleon Hill has an interview with the devil on
why people succeed and why people fail.
I don’t know if the interview is real or not but it is definitely eye
opening and relevant to today’s society and people.
What I got out of the book?
I’m just going to explain my take on what I got out of it at
this point in my life. We have different
character traits that determine how far we go in life. Those character traits are a result of our
dominating thoughts. Our dominating
thoughts also determine what happens to us in our life. It is a loop that Napoleon Hill’s devil calls
hypnotic rhythm. I have also read
elsewhere that this can be called our vibration, character, soul, mind, and
etc.
For example, John grows up with an abusive childhood. John has internal filters that tell him that
everything is “out to abuse him.” John
will get into abusive relationships, work situations, life situations, and etc
that will continually abuse him. You can
call it John’s vibration is attracting those situations or his thoughts are
putting him into those situations.
John can change his situation by working on changing his
thoughts, or vibration, or whatever else you want to call it. John has to establish a new “hypnotic rhythm”
for his life and that will take effort on his part to constantly work on
changing his thinking so that he can break free from his current patterns and
establish new ones. The moment he starts
getting new patterns of thought is the moment his life will start improving and
he will no longer be in the abusive situations.
That is just a nugget of what I got out of this book and
highly recommend it to everyone!
I hope you got some value out of this!
