Success Through a Positive Mental Attitude

The great Danish philosopher and religious thinker Soren Kierkegaard once wrote It is the sign of a good book when the book reads you. You hold in your hands such a book-one that has not only become a classic in the self-help field but also has that rare ability to relate to your problems sympathize with them and then advise you on their solutions as a wise old friend would. Still I must warn you. Success Through a Positive Mental Attitude will do nothing for you. If you truly wish to change your life for the better and are willing to pay a price in time and thinking and effort to reach your goals-and if youre not kidding yourself-then you hold in your hands a diamond plucked from a beach of pebbles a road map to a better future a valuable blueprint that will enable you to completely restructure your future. I speak from experience. Many years ago through my own stupidities and faults I lost everything that was precious to me-my family my home and my job. Nearly penniless and with no guidance I began to wander the country searching for myself and for some answers that would make my life bearable. I spent much time in public libraries because they were free-and warm. I read everything from Plato to Peale seeking that one message that would explain to me where I had gone wrong-and what I could do to salvage the remainder of my life. I finally found my answer in W. Clement Stones and Napoleon Hills Success Through a Positive Mental Attitude. I have employed the simple techniques and methods found in this classic for more than fifteen years and they have provided me with riches and happiness far beyond anything I deserve. From a penniless vagrant without a single root I eventually became the president of two corporations and the executive editor of the finest magazine of its kind in the world Success Unlimited. I also wrote six books and one of them The Greatest Salesman in the World has now become the best-selling book for salespeople of all time; it has been translated into fourteen languages and has sold more than three million copies.
