Beschreibung

In "How to Succeed; Or, Stepping-Stones to Fame and Fortune," Orison Swett Marden presents a compelling exploration of personal development and success through the lens of positivity and perseverance. Written in the late 19th century, this book reflects the emerging self-help movement and embodies a rich blend of anecdotal evidence and inspirational narratives. Marden's literary style combines a motivational tone with a practical approach, offering readers actionable advice interwoven with stories of renowned figures who triumphed against considerable odds. As a guide to navigating the complexities of life, Marden's work serves as both a testament to the American Dream and a blueprint for unlocking one's potential. Marden, an influential figure in the self-help genre, drew from his own tumultuous experiences, including the challenges he faced in his early life as an orphan and his eventual rise to prominence as a successful writer and entrepreneur. These formative experiences shaped his philosophy that success is attainable through hard work, resilience, and an unwavering belief in oneself. As a founder of SUCCESS magazine, Marden sought to inspire countless individuals to pursue their aspirations, and this book stands as a hallmark of his mission. I highly recommend "How to Succeed" to anyone seeking guidance on personal growth and achievement. Marden's wisdom resonates deeply, encouraging readers to embrace challenges as opportunities for learning and development. This work not only serves as a practical manual for success but also inspires hope and determination in the hearts of those who aspire to fulfill their dreams.

Autor

Dr. Orison Swett Marden (1848-1924) was an American inspirational author who wrote about achieving success in life and founded SUCCESS magazine in 1897. His writings discuss common-sense principles and virtues that make for a well-rounded, successful life. Many of his ideas are based on New Thought philosophy. His first book, Pushing to the Front (1894), became an instant best-seller. Marden later published fifty or more books and booklets, averaging two titles per year. Marden was born 11 June 1848 in Thornton Gore, New Hampshire to Lewis and Martha Marden. When he was three years old, his mother died at the age of twenty-two, leaving Orison and his two sisters in the care of their father, who was a farmer, hunter, and trapper. When Orison was seven years old, his father died from injuries incurred while in the woods. Consequently, the children were shuttled from one guardian to another, with Orison working for five successive families as a "hired boy" to earn his keep.[2] During his early to mid-teens, Marden discovered a book entitled Self-Help by Scottish author Samuel Smiles in an attic.[3] The book marked a turning point in his life, inspiring him to improve himself and his circumstances. Marden valued the book as if it were "worth its weight in diamonds" and virtually committed its contents to memory. He developed a deep respect and admiration for the author, whose work instilled in him a desire to inspire others as Samuel Smiles had done for him.[4] Marden's young manhood was marked by remarkable energy and unbroken achievement. By his early thirties, he had earned his academic degrees in science, arts, medicine and law. During his college years he supported himself by working in a hotel and afterward by becoming the owner of several hotels and a resort. He remained a successful hotel owner till his early forties (see "Timeline" for dates and other details)
