The Young Man Entering BusinessPaperback, 15 March 2007

Why do young men (and women) fail to do well in the business world. Self-help pioneer Orison Swett Marden had the answers in this 1903 book. 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, Marden explains: . why we shouldn't let our parents choose our careers . the importance of dedicating our efforts to our chosen vocation . how manners constitute "business capital" . how to cultivate self-confidence . why you must save, save, save money . and much more. 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.
