Mental Chemistry
August 28, 2011
Napolean Hill, the author of probably the greatest success self help book of all time, Think & Grow Rich, was massively influenced by Charles Haanel’s most famous work, The Master Key System. This is a transcription of a letter that Hill wrote to Haanel about The Master Key System:
April 21, 1919. Mr. Charles F. Haanel, St. Louis, Mo.
My dear Mr. Haanel:
You probably know, from the editorial in the January issue of the Golden Rule, copy of which my Secretary sent to you, that I began twenty-two years ago as a coal miner at a dollar a day.
I have just been retained by a ten million dollar corporation at a salary of $105,200.00 a year, for a portion of my time only, it having been agreed that I shall continue as editor of the Hill’s Golden Rule.
I believe in giving credit where it is due, therefore I believe I ought to inform you that my present success and the success which has followed my work as President of the Napoleon Hill Institute is due largely to the principles laid down in The Master-Key System.
You are doing a good work by helping people to realize that nothing is impossible of accomplishment which a man can create in his imagination. Surely my own experience proves this.
I shall cooperate with you in getting your course into the hands of the many who so greatly need your message.
Cordially and sincerely, Napoleon Hill, Editor, The Golden Rule Chicago, Illinois
Haanel’s work, Mental Chemistry, is another work that also builds upon the Master Key System and is an an important edition to your success library. I hope you enjoy it.
