Real Success: Based on the Writings of SUCCESS Magazine Founder

Orison Swett Marden (1850-1924), founder of SUCCESS magazine, is also considered to be the founder of the modern success movement in America. He certainly bridged the gap between the old, narrow notions of success and the new, more comprehensive models made popular by best-selling authors such as Napoleon Hill, Clement Stone, Dale Carnegie, Og Mandino, Earl Nightingale, Norman Vincent Peale, and today's authors Stephen R. Covey, Anthony Robbins, and Brian Tracy.

In this refreshing update of Mardens timeless writings, Shelton and the editors of Success magazine revisit the application of character-based success, including case examples of how America's top executives, then and now, have applied Marden's thinking to their own achievements.
