The preeminent self-help expert of the early 20th century and a
forerunner of Dale Carnegie and Norman Vincent Peale, Stephen R. Covey
and Anthony Robbins, Marden penned numerous motivation books that
galvanized the public. Here, in this 1909 volume, he waxes enthusiastic
on doing one's best at work, exploring: - "the crime of carelessness" -
"blunders that cost a million dollars a day" - "thoroughness the
handmaid of genius" - "what every employer is looking for" - and more.
