Dr. Orison Swett Marden (1848-1924) was an American author of
inspirational books. He wrote primarily on the subject of being
successful and founded "SUCCESS" magazine in 1897. Marden's books deal
with attaining a fruitful and well-rounded life, with many of his ideas
being based on the New Thought movement. First published in 1897,
"Architects of Fate" is a companion to Marden's successful 1911
self-help book "Pushing to the Front", this volume focusing on
character-building and achieving success. Originally intended to
motivate young people who lack a definite aim or ambition, this timeless
volume is will be of utility to those searching for meaning or
motivation, and it would make for an excellent addition to any
bookshelf. Contents include: "Wanted-A Man", "Dare", "The Will and the
Way", "Success under Difficulties", "Uses of Obstacles", "One Unwavering
Aim", "Sowing and Reaping", "Self-help", "Work and Wait", "Clear Grit",
"The Grandest Thing in the World", "Wealth in Economy", "Rich Without
Money", "Opportunities Where You Are", etc. Many vintage books such as
this are becoming increasingly scarce and expensive. We are republishing
