Think and Grow Rich was published in 1937 and became a major commercial success. Before leaving Blair gave his father and Rosa a loan to continue work on their new book, Think and Grow Rich. Following a few months of this living arrangement Blair's wife Vera left due to Napoleon Hill's harassment and abuse with Blair following soon after.
