"Pushing to the Front" was first published in 1894. In his century-old book, the self-improvement master Orison Swett Marden explains that there are no true barriers if one’s thoughts are lifted to the height of human possibility. The book is filled with applicable, relevant life lessons, as well as hundreds of quotes from famous individuals and real-life stories based on the experiences of the day.
An overriding theme Marden expresses is that while no one can become rich by expecting to be poor, if prosperity is our singular focus, we lose sight of what really matters: ideals and character. The book’s length may overwhelm some, but it is well organised and divided into 60 chapters by theme. Those who take the time to work their way through it will acquire a wealth of inspirational material.
Dr. Orison Swett Marden was an American author of inspirational literature. He primarily wrote about how to achieve success in life through the adoption of virtues and common-sense principles.
