The Master Key to Riches
by Napoleon Hill
Hill's own attempt to distil his philosophy around the 'master key' of going the extra mile, with the twelve riches, the habit of sharing and the mastermind restated. It overlaps heavily with his other books and the extra-mile chapters are the clearest statement of that idea anywhere.
Read it if…
you want one Hill book focused on the extra-mile principle.
Skip it if…
you own Think and Grow Rich and Law of Success; this is a subset.
Three things you will actually use
- Going the extra mile compounds.
- Service rendered precedes reward received.
- Habit, not intention, builds character.
Do this first
Render one piece of service this week that nobody asked for and note what happens.
Our verdict
The extra mile, in full.
