The Success Bible
ByPublisher Description
IT IS THE MEANING AND EXCELLENCE
YOU BRING TO EACH TASK.
From The Art of War and The Prince to The Power of Your Subconscious Mind and The Magic of Believing, readers will discover time-hallowed methods of powerful living that honor traits of nobility and selfhood versus sneakiness and avarice. The many books in this collection—each introduced by Mitch—offer not sentimentality or myopia but hard-won and realistic guidance for life as it is, not as we idealize it.
Mitch opens the collection with his provocative “101 Rules of Effective Living,” each worthy of a chapter in itself.
“I have no idea whether nice guys finish first, last, or not at all,” Mitch writes in the preface. “But I do know that honor is what builds powerful (not forceful) individuals and sound communities and companies, without which nothing can thrive. I believe this book places the motivated querent on the path to both.”
Features Joseph Murphy, Neville Goddard, Norman Vincent Peale, James Allen, Sun Tzu, Niccolò Machiavelli, Henry David Thoreau, Ralph Waldo Emerson, Napoleon Hill, Florence Scovel Shinn, Khalil Gibran, Dale Carnegie, Wallace D. Wattles, James Allen, Andrew Carnegie, and more.
