Overview

This early work, originally published in 1907 was written by the eminent American essayist and editor. This title is one of a number of religious books he wrote, which can be thought of as precursors to today's self-help book. Contents Include: The Kingship of Self-control; The Crimes of the Tongue; The Red Tape of Duty; The Supreme Charity of the World; Worry, the Great American Disease; The Greatness of Simplicity; Living Life Over Again; Syndicating our Sorrows; The Revelations of Reserve Power; The Majesty of Calmness; Hurry, the Scourge of America; The Power of Personal Influence; The Dignity of Self-Reliance; Failure as a Success; Doing Our Best at All Times; The Royal Road to Happiness. Many of the earliest books, particularly those dating back to the 1900s and before, are now extremely scarce and increasingly expensive. We are republishing these classic works in affordable, high quality, modern editions, using the original text and artwork.

About the Author

William George Jordan (March 6, 1864 - April 20, 1928) was an American editor and lecturer.





Jordan was born in New York City on March 6, 1864. He graduated from the City College of New York and began his literary career as editor of Book Chat in 1884. He joined Current Literature in 1888 and became its managing editor. In 1891 he left Current Literature and moved to Chicago where he started a lecture program on his system of Mental Training.





His style of speaking was very engaging and powerful. To explain a principle he used a lot of analogies to bring concrete pictures of the concepts into the minds of his readers and listeners.
