Publisher Comments |
Orison Swett Marden is considered to be the founder of the modern
success movement in America. It is hard to deny this because Marden's
first book, Pushing to the Front, was published in 1894 and had a
phenomenal circulation. Then in 1897 he founded
Success Magazine,
which reached the enormous circulation, for that time, of nearly a
half-million. This means, of course, that it was read by from two to
three million readers. Through his magazine and his many books he honed
the skill of actualizing success to perfection. Although his ideas are
as needed and true today as a hundred years ago, the writing is
hopelessly out of date because of the great difference in culture.
In an effort to bring his thoughts back to life in today’s world we
decided to edit and rewrite one of his most famous works
Be Good To Yourself. Examples
like the coal burning fire engine are replaced with modern analogies,
things like eBooks are introduced and sexism is removed from the
language. Otherwise we remained true to his original work and only made
changes where necessary.
We chose Be Good To Yourself
because this title was written right at the height of his career and it
is targeted at the successful business person. The book
defines the traits which prevent success and explores the thinking
habits that often create our failures. |

Orison Swett Marden is considered to be the founder of
the modern success movement in America. He bridged the gap between the
old notions of success and the new, more comprehensive, models later
made popular by best-selling authors such as Napoleon Hill, Clement
Stone, Dale Carnegie, Og Mandino, Earl Nightingale, Norman Vincent
Peale, and today's authors such as Stephen R.Covey, Anthony Robbins, and
Brian Tracy. Although targeted for business professionals, this is
a book for anyone who has ever been called an under-achiever or one who
fears that they may never be able to fulfill their own potential or
early promise. |
