Author Greg S. Reid

Widely known for his 1937 book "Think and Grow Rich," Napoleon Hill was one of the first authors to produce personal success literature. Hill’s legacy left an imprint on posterity, his book being one of the bestselling of all time. Hill’s foundational principles illustrate achievement as a process and formula accessible to all.

Hill’s book was largely influenced by his earlier work, "The Law of Success" and 20 years of research spent networking with a large number of wealthy and successful entrepreneurs of that time. But times have changed, and Hill’s success manifesto has been updated by contemporary individuals who share both Hill’s belief in pedagogy, as well as his passion for personal development.

Hand selected by The Napoleon Hill Foundation, Greg S. Reid, a San Diego native, is the newest interpreter of "Think and Grow Rich," introducing "Stickability: The Power of Perseverance." The teachings are the same throughout the book, refreshed by contemporary interviews.

Reid’s appointment to carry on Hill’s teachings within the framework of the classic text lead him on his own journey to interview CEOs, successful entrepreneurs and creative thinkers that would resonate with a generation perhaps too far removed from the original context written during the Great Depression.

To illustrate the principles with a contemporary spin, Reid interviewed the wealthy and successful of a newer generation. Among them, Steve Woznank, American inventor and co-founder of Apple Computers; David A. Williams, president and CEO of Make a Wish Foundation; and Garry Marshall, actor, producer and director of notable films "Pretty Woman," "Valentine’s Day" and "Beaches."

Reid attended Torrey Pines High School and today lives in La Jolla with his wife and young son. He enjoys tennis, golf and tacos from Oscar’s on Turquoise Street in Pacific Beach—a San Diegan to the very core.
