The value of a job comes not only in the paycheck but also in the chance
to learn new skills and absorb the secrets of business. Self-help
pioneer Orison Swett Marden-the preeminent motivational expert of the
early 20th century and a forerunner of Dale Carnegie and Norman Vincent
Peale, Stephen R. Covey and Anthony Robbins-recognized this truth a
century ago, and in this concise 1909 work, he explains how to find the
"salary" beyond mere dollars and sense. From the vital importance of
self-respect to the best way to cultivate the right attitude for success
in the business world, Marden's advice is just as timely today as it was
a century ago...and just as useful. American writer and editor ORISON
SWETT MARDEN (1850-1924) was born in New England and studied at Boston
University and Andover Theological Seminary. In 1897, he founded Success
Magazine.
