Prosperity Through Thought – Force
Bruce MacLelland’s Prosperity Through Thought-Force discusses how one man, whose life was accustomed to failure and who did not have strong abilities, was able to make an incredible change in his life using certain principles. The book is inspiring because it shows what you can do once you know certain principals—autosuggestion, introspection, concentration, determination, attraction, imagination and more.
You too can make incredible changes in your life by using your mind in the most productive way. I hope you enjoy this book.

PROSPERITY THROUGH THOUGHT-FORCE
By Bruce MacLelland
AUTHOR’S FOREWORD
Less than three years ago I was a poor bookkeeper earning one thousand dollars per year in a city where living on that amount was possible only by the strictest economy. My personality was buried in a sea of worry, anger, suspicion and hatred. These things prevented my evolution to the position to which my talents entitled me. I knew I should not [Read more]
The Art of War
The Art of War by Sun Tzu is an excellent book that contains numerous powerful life and career lessons. It is considered one of the most successful books on military strategy ever written. The book recognizes that planning and strategy are influenced by the environment and conditions around us. You cannot simply prepare a plan and follow it blindly. It is my pleasure to share with you The Art of War. I have referred to this great work many times throughout my career. I have also heard many very successful people refer to it as inspirational and quote from it. The book contains a strong message and can benefit you immensely.

- Sun Tzu said: The art of war is of vital importance to the State.
- It is a matter of life and death, a road either to safety or to ruin. Hence it is a subject of inquiry which can on no account be neglected.
- The art of war, then, is governed by five constant factors, to be taken into account in one’s deliberations, when seeking to determine the conditions obtaining in the field.
- These are:
- The Moral Law;
- Heaven;
- Earth;
- The Commander;
- Method and discipline.
- The Moral Law causes the people to be in complete accord with their ruler, so that they will follow him regardless of their lives, undismayed by any danger.
- Heaven signifies night and day, cold and heat, times and seasons.
- Earth comprises distances, great and small; danger and security; open ground and narrow passes; the chances of life and death.
- The Commander stands for the virtues of wisdom, sincerity, benevolence, courage and strictness.
- By method and discipline are to be understood the marshaling of the army in its proper subdivisions, the graduations of rank among the officers, the maintenance of roads by which supplies may reach the army, and the control of military expenditure.
How to Live on 24 Hours a Day
How to Live on 24 Hours a Day, first published in 1908, offers advice on how to live your life, rather than just existing in the world. Following the Industrial Revolution, a large number of white collar workers had emerged who in many cases were unhappy with their jobs. Prior to the Industrial Revolution, many of these workers may have made carriages and so forth where they would have seen the results of their labor directly. Once they were in offices, many of these workers found themselves doing boring, tedious jobs where they did not necessarily see the result of their work. Bennett addresses these workers in his book. How to Live on 24 Hours a Day is considered one of the classics of self improvement and has inspired generations of people to live more deliberate and focused lives. It is a book you are going to enjoy. Bennett believes most of the white collar workers he is addressing go to work each day and do work that the necessarily do not enjoy. Many work as little as possible during the day and their lives consist of getting up, putting in their hours in the office, unwinding and repeating the same process day after day. Bennett believed that these men were [Read more]
Think and Grow Rich
Napolean Hill’s Think and Grow Rich is probably, in my opinion, the best career book ever written. While the subject of the book deals with earning money, the book itself is actually about much, much more. The book deals with how to use your mind to go after the results you are seeking in any area of your life. The area could be family, career, friends, political, or other. There is so much power to the book and its stories it is really pretty remarkable. For me, just thinking about the book gets me “jazzed” because the lessons in it are so profound.
I read this book the first time when I was 19 years old and it had a stunning impact on my life. Shortly after reading the book I started a business, became a straight A student and my life changed considerably. I realized after reading the book that anything I wanted out of life I could have and using the lessons in the book it generally became true. If I wanted to succeed at the highest levels of academia I realized I could and did. If I wanted to make money as an asphalt contractor I realized I could and did. If I wanted to be a fancy lawyer in highly prestigious law firms I realized I could and did. Literally, whatever I got interested in became easily within my reach.
Throughout the years I have seen one person who has risen to great success after another cite this book and this book alone as one of the major causes of their success. The book has incredible power and the lessons it contains are profound. Since reading this book I have always done well in most of my undertakings. When people ask me how I did it I usually give them a copy of the book. I am giving you a copy of the book now below. If you read and study this book whatever you want is going to shortly be within your reach.
If you read this book and take the time to study it I am confident you too will find the power within its pages to reach your highest potential. Many people have. In virtually every field, the most successful and fulfilled people I have met have read and studied this book. Many people read this book several times a year because they get something new out of it every time. Your life is like a river and each time you look for knowledge you are going to get something new– you are always at a different place in the river.
If you have ever read this book before I encourage you to read it again.
If you have never read it you must read it.
You are going to die one day and you need to make the most out of your life right now. Think and Grow Rich contains rules and lessons that can help you live a great life.
A few years ago I gave a copy of this book to every employee in our company. I believe that everyone out there can really benefit from careful study of this book. I have numerous copies of this book in my offices and throughout my home and refer to it often. This book will change your life.
I would encourage you to read this book and come back to it often. It is my distinct honor to share this book with you.
THINK AND GROW RICH
IN EVERY chapter of this book, mention has been made of the money-making secret which has made fortunes for more than five hundred exceedingly wealthy men whom I have carefully analyzed over a long period of years. The secret was brought to my attention by Andrew Carnegie, more than a quarter of a century ago. The canny, lovable old Scotsman carelessly tossed it into my mind, when I was but a boy. Then he sat back in his chair, with a merry twinkle in his eyes, and watched carefully to see if I had brains enough to understand the full significance of what he had said to me. When he saw that I had grasped the idea, he asked if I would be willing to spend twenty years or more, preparing myself to take it to the world, to men and women who, without the secret, might go through life as failures. I said I would, and with Mr. Carnegie’s cooperation, I have kept my promise. This book contains the secret, after having been put to a practical test by thousands of people, in almost every walk of life. It was Mr. Carnegie’s idea that the magic formula, which gave him a stupendous fortune, ought to be placed within reach of people who do not have time to investigate how men make money, and it was his hope that I might test and demonstrate the soundness of the formula through the experience of men and women in every calling. He believed the formula should be taught in all public schools and colleges, and expressed the opinion that if it were properly taught it would so revolutionize the entire educational system that the time spent in school could be reduced to less than half.

Something that very few people realize is that Franklin also wrote what is arguably one of the best self-improvement books ever written, The Biography of Benjamin Franklin.

HOW TO TURN YOUR DESIRES AND IDEALS INTO REALITY
By Brown Landone
Mental Chemistry
Napolean Hill, the author of probably the greatest success self help book of all time, Think & Grow Rich, was massively influenced by Charles Haanel’s most famous work, The Master Key System. This is a transcription of a letter that Hill wrote to Haanel about The Master Key System:
April 21, 1919. Mr. Charles F. Haanel, St. Louis, Mo.
My dear Mr. Haanel:
You probably know, from the editorial in the January issue of the Golden Rule, copy of which my Secretary sent to you, that I began twenty-two years ago as a coal miner at a dollar a day.
I have just been retained by a ten million dollar corporation at a salary of $105,200.00 a year, for a portion of my time only, it having been agreed that I shall continue as editor of the Hill’s Golden Rule.
I believe in giving credit where it is due, therefore I believe I ought to inform you that my present success and the success which has followed my work as President of the Napoleon Hill Institute is due largely to the principles laid down in The Master-Key System.
You are doing a good work by helping people to realize that nothing is impossible of accomplishment which a man can create in his imagination. Surely my own experience proves this.
I shall cooperate with you in getting your course into the hands of the many who so greatly need your message.
Cordially and sincerely, Napoleon Hill, Editor, The Golden Rule Chicago, Illinois
Haanel’s work, Mental Chemistry, is another work that also builds upon the Master Key System and is an an important edition to your success library. I hope you enjoy it.
