Publisher Description: Excerpt: "If it is no part of my intent, in this booklet, to catalogue those mental and moral traits of most value to mankind, yet it is my intent to name certain deep-rooted dispositions, which are essential in the mental make-up of those who set before themselves a high ideal in seeking for the Grandest Thing in the World." In this book the author posits the need for a 'strong character' in a person's personality and how this undervalued characteristic is actually the most important thing in the world. Spread over nine chapters and a conversational way of writing, this book would surely interest those who are looking to achieve self-confidence, power and success. Dr. Orison Swett Marden (1848-1924) was an American inspirational author who wrote about achieving success in life and founded SUCCESS magazine in 1897. He is often considered as the father of the modern-day inspirational talks and writings and his words make sense even to this day. In his books he discussed the common-sense principles and virtues that make for a well-rounded, successful life. |
