Born 1883 in a log cabin in Virginia. At twenty-five, as a young journalist, he was sent to interview Andrew Carnegie — then the richest man on earth. The interview lasted three days, at the end of which Carnegie gave him a commission: spend the next twenty years studying the most successful people in America and extract the pattern.
Hill took the assignment. Over the next two decades he interviewed more than five hundred industrialists, inventors, and presidents — Edison, Ford, Rockefeller, Wilson, Roosevelt. In 1937, at the bottom of the Depression, he published Think and Grow Rich.
It has sold over a hundred million copies. Nearly every self-development book written since is downstream of it. He died in 1970, still writing.
