Outwitting the Devil is comprised of a short introduction of Hill and his personal story, followed by a dialogue - an interview - with Devil himself ("His Majesty"). Hill also provides practical advice and strategies for overcoming the Devil's influence and breaking free from the cycle of fear and failure. Self-help books have since gone on to captivate and enrich the lives of millions of readers for generations and Hill’s work has done the same.

I found myself buoyed in a current of some strange delusion of life and hoping that somehow I could be saved. During a time when everyone was giving hope, the choice to give in to negativity might have seemed unavoidable. E isso me gera um questionamento interno de: se se passaram tantos anos desde que o lido foi lançado e ainda se propagam as mesmas coisas, porque parece que nada muda?

This isn't to say that I no longer find camaraderie of like minded souls important, but I can keep my own counsel and engage in reflective contemplation with a sense of something greater than the smaller me. So, if you want to get the most out of your life, Hill asserts that the first step is identifying a life goal. In the cycle of drifting a person cannot differentiate between a thought and a feeling, a feeling becomes a thought and therefore feelings are what are consistently acted on.
