I’m excited to share insights of this book with you, a book that’s not only mind-blowing but was so incredibly powerful that it faced years of controversy and even bans.
“Outwitting the Devil” is a thought-provoking journey that will challenge your beliefs and inspire personal development like no other.
Who Wrote Outwitting The Devil?
First things first, let’s get to know the genius behind the book. “Outwitting the Devil” was written by the legendary Napoleon Hill, the same great mind who wrote “Think and Grow Rich.”
Outwitting The Devil Summary
Now, let’s dive into the core of Outwitting The Devil. This book is a captivating conversation between Napoleon Hill and none other than the Devil himself.
Yes, you read that right, Hill’s in-depth interview with the Devil, forcing him to confess his secrets. In it, he covers questions that touch on the basis of life, fears, limitations and the human experience.
Who is The Devil in Outwitting The Devil?
Ok who is this devil Hill refers to for the duration of the book!? the Devil is not a literal being, but rather a symbolic representation of the negative forces and self-destructive behaviours that can limit an individual’s success and personal growth.
Think of the Devil in this context as a metaphorical embodiment of self-sabotage and the internal struggles we all face on our journey to personal growth and development.
What are the Drifters/Non Drifters Outlined in the book?
One of the key concepts discussed in this book is the division of humanity into two groups:
Drifters and Non-Drifters:
Drifters – are those who live aimlessly, lacking clear goals, and easily succumbing to negative influences and thoughts. They’re the people who let life push them around, never taking charge of their destiny.
Non-Drifters – are those with a clear purpose, determination, will and drive to overcome limitations & commit to becoming their full potential. They’re the ones who rise above circumstances and external forces.
Hill states that becoming a Non-Drifter is the key to unlocking success and fulfilment. He provides strategies and wisdom on how to break free from the drift and take control of your life.
Now, Why was Outwitting The Devil Banned!?
Here’s the intriguing part, this book was so ahead of its time that it was kept hidden from the world for Decades because of its provocative content.
Outwitting the devil was originally written in 1938 and banned from being released until 2011!
To note: In my opinion this book has the potential to be removed again (it has already happened once), so i’d recommend reading it as soon as possible if it is a book of interest to you.
Which Outwitting The Devil book is best?
Well it’s not a matter of better or worse, it’s about what resonates with you at this point in your journey.
Some prefer original manuscripts. Which preserves the authors authenticity, and offer the reader a raw and unfiltered look into Hill’s thoughts and ideas.
Others prefer the more popular choice which aims to provide value for those seeking a more guided approach to the book whilst maintaining a commitment to preserving Hill’s legacy and originality.
Conclusion
In closing, Outwitting the Devil is a profound book that was so ahead of its time it faced bans and controversy. Napoleon Hill’s insights into the power of the human mind, and the battle between Drifters and Non-Drifters are nothing short of life-altering.
This book serves as a powerful reminder that we have the potential to outwit the internal demons that hold us back from living our best lives. So, whether you’re seeking financial success or a deeper understanding of yourself, “Outwitting the Devil” is in my opinion a must-read.
