Wisdom & Empowerment: The Orison Swett Marden Edition (18 Books in One Volume) (ePub)

Orison Swett Marden (1850-1924) was a prolific American writer and an influential figure in the New Thought movement. His work revolves around personal development, self-help, and inspirational anecdotes aimed at improving the lives of his readers. Born into poverty, Marden overcame numerous obstacles and embodied the very philosophies he would later preach. He held a deep-seated belief in the power of positive thinking and the potential of the individual to achieve great success through perseverance and self-discipline. Marden's literary career was marked by the publication of over 50 books, and he is perhaps best known for 'Pushing to the Front' (1894) and 'An Iron Will' (1901). The Orison Swett Marden Edition titled 'Wisdom & Empowerment' condenses his vast body of work, comprising 18 books in a single volume, and serves as a testament to his enduring legacy. Marden's writing is characterized by an optimistic and motivational tone, often drawing from his personal experiences and the successes of others to illustrate his arguments. His influence can be seen in the works of later self-help authors, who have drawn from Marden's focus on self-reliance and the cultivation of a positive mental attitude. As such, Orison Swett Marden continues to be a respected name in the genre of self-improvement literature.
