“Steps to Success” is a self-help book intended to help people who want to succeed in life. Written by G. Edward Griffin, the book was released in 1980. The purpose of this book is to take readers from where they are now, or where they think they are on the path between their current state and their next desired state, to a point where they can successfully accomplish whatever it is that they have aimed for.
Steps to Success was an instant success among seekers of self-improvement and personal development. The book quickly climbed the New York Times Best Seller’s list. Notable for being a part of the "lawsuit against success" by G. Edward Griffin, the book has sparked controversy due to the controversial theories that Griffin portrayed in this book.
