He became known to an international audience of millions through his appearance in the film *The Secret* and its companion book. Proctor developed books, seminars, and programs focused on personal development. According to biographical accounts, his own life changed after he read Napoleon Hill’s book, having left school in the ninth grade and held several unsatisfying jobs.
