| Publisher Description: "Some Problems Of Life" is a classic self-help book written by Annie Besant and first published in 1900. Self-help books aim to help the reader with problems, offering them clear and effective guidance on how obstacles can be passed and solutions found, especially with regard to common issues and day-to-day life. Such books take their name from the 1859 best-selling "Self-Help" by Samuel Smiles, and are often also referred to as "self-improvement" books. Within this volume, Besant explores various problems of life and mind that often effect "thoughtful people", offering the reader guidance and thoughts that had been helpful to her when tackling life's problems. Annie Besant (1847-1933) was a British theosophist, socialist, writer, activist, orator, and staunch advocate for Irish and Indian independence. She was a prolific author, writing more than three hundred books and pamphlets during her life. Other notable works by this author include: "Karma; A Study in Consciousness", "The Seven Principles Of Man", and "Esoteric Christianity Or, The Lesser Mysteries". Many vintage books such as this are becoming increasingly scarce and expensive. We are republishing this volume now in an affordable, modern, high-quality edition complete with a specially-commissioned new biography of the author. |
