QuickRead presents a summary of "Outwitting the Devil" by Napoleon Hill:

Reaching out from the era of the Great Depression to offer a message of hope through the power of positive thinking, Outwitting the Devil asks you to imagine what you could accomplish if you relinquished fear and self-doubt.

Although it was originally written in 1938, Napoleon Hill's breakthrough self-help book, Outwitting the Devil was lost to the world until 2011 due to censorship. Outlining Hill's personal views on the toxicity of church and standardized education alike, Outwitting the Devil encourages readers to break free of the fears that may be fostered by education and religion to achieve personal success and embrace the life lessons taught by failure.
