Book, Captain of my soul, lord of my destiny: master of your mind[LS]

Napoleon Hill laid the foundations of personal development literature by organizing and explaining the Laws of Success at the beginning of the 20th century. This book addresses three essential elements for achieving personal, professional and financial goals: creative vision, organized thinking and controlled attention. "Captain of my soul, master of my destiny" is a compilation of three booklets from a series called "Mental Dynamite", the originals of which had been lost and were recently rediscovered by the Napoleon Hill Foundation. It is true mental dynamite, combining teachings transmitted by steel magnate Andrew Carnegie to the young Napoleon Hill in 1908 with comments by the author written three decades later, when he was already an expert in motivational philosophy. The only thing we have complete control over are our thoughts. To take the reins – or the rudder – of your destiny and follow the desired course, anticipating and avoiding obstacles, you must control your mind, that is, think before acting. Think straight, of course. Creative, organized and focused thinking is the basis for defining goals and plans to achieve them. The mind, like the body, needs to be correctly exercised to remain agile and healthy. Creativity, organization and focus can be cultivated and improved through practice. Try Andrew Carnegie and Napoleon Hill's formula to get where you want.
