According to Hill, the work was commissioned at the request of Andrew Carnegie, at the conclusion of a multi-day interview with Hill. It was allegedly based upon interviews with over 100 American millionaires, including self-made industrial giants such as Henry Ford, J. P. Morgan, John D. Rockefeller, Alexander Graham Bell and Thomas Edison, across nearly 20 years. The Law of Success was first presented as a lecture, and was delivered by its author in many major cities and in many smaller localities throughout the United States over a period of more than seven years. The Inc magazine included this among the "14 Great Books for Anyone Who Wants Get Ahead in Life." The "Master Mind" concept introduced in the first chapter of this first book is regarded to be the key behind Hill's system by some authors. A Mastermind group is specified as a peer-to-peer mentoring group to help members solve their problems with input from the other group members.
