Pushing to the Front

by Orison Swett Marden

Six hundred pages on refusing to stay where you started.

Marden's best-known book collects short chapters on initiative, concentration, self-education, and recovering from failure, each carried by examples from people who began with nothing useful. It is the fullest statement of American motivational writing before the twentieth-century boom, and reads as a reference rather than a straight-through book.
