Architects of Fate - Or, Steps to Success and Power

Dr. Orison Swett Marden (1848–1924) was an American author of inspirational books. He wrote primarily on the subject of being successful and founded “SUCCESS” magazine in 1897. Marden's books deal with attaining a fruitful and well-rounded life, with many of his ideas being based on the New Thought movement. First published in 1897, “Architects of Fate” is a companion to Marden's successful 1911 self-help book “Pushing to the Front”, this volume focusing on character-building and achieving success. Originally intended to motivate young people who lack a definite aim or ambition, this timeless volume is will be of utility to those searching for meaning or motivation, and it would make for an excellent addition to any bookshelf. Contents include: “Wanted—A Man”, “Dare”, “The Will and the Way”, “Success under Difficulties”, “Uses of Obstacles”, “One Unwavering Aim”, “Sowing and Reaping”, “Self-help”, “Work and Wait”, “Clear Grit”, “The Grandest Thing in the World”, “Wealth in Economy”, “Rich Without Money”, “Opportunities Where You Are”, etc. Many vintage books such as this are becoming increasingly scarce and expensive. We are republishing this volume now in an affordable, modern, high-quality edition complete with the original text and artwork.
