How to Sell Your Way Through Life

Written during the Great Depression, Napoleon Hill's guide rests on the idea that everyone sells, whatever their job, each time they explain an idea or share an opinion. Hill, author of Think and Grow Rich, built his work on the belief that successful people share certain traits that others can study and copy. Here he applies that approach to the ability to make a sale, which he treats as a key part of achievement. He breaks down concrete cases of how his Master Salesman spots openings and uses them, and offers tools for selling oneself and one's ideas. The edition carries a new foreword by Ken Blanchard.

MaxCDN co-founder David Henzel named it among his top Napoleon Hill picks in an interview about selling his business and starting a podcast, and it appears on Dan Lok's published bookshelf of recommended reads.
