Written in 1938 – one year after Think and Grow Rich – and published in 2011, this book was withheld from release because it was deemed "too controversial" by the Hill family and his advisors. Brutally honest writing:
“For the first time in my life I knew the pain of constant fear… [M]y nerves began to crack. My courage had completely left me. The ambition which had heartened me during the long years of labor in my search for the causes of failure and success also had departed... If the seed of insanity had been in my make-up, surely it would have germinated during those months of living death. Foolish indecision, irresolute dreams, doubt and fear were my mind’s concern, day and night.”
