One of the most motivational reads on this app, had to read it again for the 3rd time in 2 years. Ruth Golding and Abner Bailey are truly the dynamic duo! Check out other works by Orison Swett Marden, such as The Victorious Attitude, read of course by Ruth. Thank you for all of your contributions!

Great book, best reader! It’s a litle book you can read in a couple of hours but one you will want to keeep reading over and over again. It was written 125 years ago and the message is more important than ever. Gets me fired up every time.

The theme of the book wasn't bad, however I feel like the execution of it was. I felt like the premise of it was "just do better". The reader was good though.

Amazing book. Very much worth the time!


(5 stars)

A great book massively amplified by the great voice of Ruth Golding (the reader). Truly a book for the ages and one I come back to every year!
