Welcome to "Living Like a Bank," a podcast brought to you by the Business Book Club series, hosted by Caleb Kidd Coy, Christian McFarland, and Aline Clarke. In this episode, we embark on an illuminating journey into the world of Napoleon Hill, a renowned self-help author and thinker, as we explore his lesser-known masterpiece, "Outwitting the Devil."

Join us as we delve into the life and background of Napoleon Hill, uncovering the experiences and influences that shaped his unique perspective on success and personal development. While many are familiar with Hill's seminal work, "Think and Grow Rich," we'll reveal the hidden gems within "Outwitting the Devil" and discuss how it complements his more popular book.

One crucial point to note is that the "Devil" referred to in this book is not a literal devil but rather a metaphorical representation of the negative forces, self-doubt, and limiting beliefs that hinder personal growth and success. This metaphorical interpretation adds a fascinating layer to Hill's work and underscores the power of overcoming inner obstacles.

Drawing connections between literature, philosophy, and self-improvement, we'll touch on the works that inspired Napoleon Hill and those that he, in turn, left a lasting impact on. From the profound insights of Dostoevsky's "The Brothers Karamazov" to the timeless wisdom of Hill's teachings, we'll explore the intellectual lineage that led to the creation of "Outwitting the Devil."

Our discussion will also provide an overview of the specific chapters we'll be delving into throughout this series. Whether you're a seasoned Hill enthusiast or a newcomer to his philosophy, "Living Like a Bank" promises to unravel the hidden treasures of "Outwitting the Devil" and offer fresh perspectives on personal growth and success.
