The Napoleon Hill Foundation and Brilliance Audio, Inc., today announced a new imprint, Napoleon Hill on Brilliance Audio, that has launched with the publication of an e-book and audio editions of a newly discovered work, ?Napoleon Hill?The Road to Riches.?

At the University of Virginia archives, Don M. Green, CEO of the Napoleon Hill Foundation, was doing a routine inventory when he discovered a box of 16 mm film canisters circa 1960. After restoring and digitizing the content, what was discovered was ?pure gold??Napoleon Hill and his longtime partner W. Clement Stone sharing their inspirational insights on the "master keys to success." The foundation commissioned Greg S. Reid, co-author with Sharon Lechter of ?Three Feet from Gold,? to take the archival film and create a new motivational program. The result is a one-of-a-kind audiobook, where you will not only hear the voice of Hill and Stone discussing the "master keys to success," but gain additional insights from some of today's top motivational speakers, including Bob Proctor, Brian Tracy, Les Brown and Mark Victor Hansen as they put a modern spin on Hill's classic principles of achievement. The 3-CD audiobook also includes a bonus DVD of the original film footage.

?We were searching for an audio publishing/e-book distribution that could leverage the future and propagate Napoleon Hill's message of prosperity well into the 21st century, and we believe we have achieved exactly that by working in concert with Brilliance Audio, Inc.,? said Don M. Green, CEO of the Napoleon Hill Foundation.

In coming months, other releases under the Napoleon Hill on Brilliance Audio imprint will include the authorized edition of Hill's classic ?Think and Grow Rich? with a new introduction by Lechter, Hill's ?Keys to Success," "Selling You? and "Think and Grow Rich?Instant Motivator.?
