The article doesn't address the various controversies around the books' origins
editThere is a lot of controversy around Hill's life, work, and book.
For example, there is a reasonable argument that he did not actually interview the people he claimed he did. https://www.gizmodo.com.au/2016/12/the-untold-story-of-napoleon-hill-the-greatest-self-help-scammer-of-all-time/
To simply present (a very abridged version of) the content and not to put it in context is, I think, misleading.
I personally feel that the content (ideas) in the book are fine, but there are huge question marks over whether Hill actually was who he said he was, and if he did what he said he did. I think most likely not. The article should address this squarely.
