Success Classics

Memory: How to Develop Train & Use It
and
Practical Mental Influence

Combines Two Books by William Walker Atkinson

MEMORY--The success of every individual in their every day life, business, trade or other occupation depends in one way or another upon possessing a good memory. The idea of cultivating a good memory is carried out in detail as the reader progresses with the various stages of the subject through this book. The reader will see that the first thing

to do is to find something to remember; then to impress that thing clearly and distinctly upon the receptive tablets of the memory; then to exercise the remembrance in the direction of bringing out the stored facts of the memory; then to acquire the scientific methods of recollecting special items of memory that may be necessary at some special time.

PRACTICAL MENTAL INFLUENCE is a course of lessons on Mental Vibrations, Psychic Influence, Personal Magnetism, Fascination, and Psychic Self Protection. It contains Practical Instructions, Exercises, and Directions capable of being understood, mastered and demonstrated by any person of average intelligence. Contents: The Law of vibration; Thought waves; Mental induction; Mental concentration; Mental imaging; Fascination; Hypnotic influence; Influencing at a distance; The need of the knowledge; Magic black and white; Self-Protection.

The Science of Getting Rich
and
The Science of Becoming Great

Combines Two Books by Wallace D. Wattles

THIS book is pragmatic, not philosophical; a practical manual, not a treatise upon theories. It is intended for the men and women whose most pressing need is for money; who wish to get rich first, and philosophize afterward. It is for those who have, so far, found neither the time, the means, nor the opportunity to go deeply into the study of metaphysics, but who want results and who are willing to take the conclusions of science as a basis for action, without going into all the processes by which those conclusions were reached.

This volume is the second of a series, the first of which is "THE SCIENCE OF GETTING RICH." As that book is intended solely for those who want money, so this is for those who want health, and who want a practical guide and handbook, not a philosophical treatise. It is an instructor in the use of the universal Principle of Life, and my effort has been to explain the way in so plain and simple a fashion that the reader, though he may have given no previous study to New Thought or metaphysics, may readily follow it to perfect health. While retaining all essentials, I have carefully eliminated all non-essentials; I have used no technical, abstruse, or difficult language, and have kept the one point in view at all times

In Tune With The Infinite
and
What All The World's A-Seeking

Combines Two Books by Ralph Waldo Trine

American mystic and best-selling author RALPH WALDO TRINE (1866-1958) was one of the most significant writers on New Thought principles. IN TUNE WUTH THE INFINITE examines how to strengthen connection to the Infinite Mind to enjoy a free-flow of abundance, personal blessings, and a strong sense of so necessary one's well being. This timeless book inspired a generation and sold more than two million copies in its day. It is thought to be a fundamental work of inspirational writing that led to such bestsellers as Think and Grow Rich, and The Power of Positive Thinking.

In WHAT ALL THE WORLD'S A-SEEKING Trine reveals techniques for prosperity and spiritual success. "How can I make life yield its fullest and best? How can I know the true secret of power? How can I attain to a true and lasting greatness? How can I fill the whole of life with a happiness, a peace, a joy, a satisfaction that is ever rich and abiding, that ever increases, never diminishes, that imparts to it a sparkle that never loses its luster, that ever fascinates, never wearies?"

Mind Power: The Secret of Mental Magic
and
Mental Fascination

Combines Two Books by William Walker Atkinson

From one of the most important and influential fathers of the late 18thc - early 19thc New Thought Movement, MIND POWER is indicative of the way Atkinson has helped so many people understand the mysteries of the mind and our ability to utilize it to its fullest potential. This is an excellent book for anyone looking to maximize their thinking and mental faculties.

MENTAL FASINATION is an easy to follow and effective guide to mental fascination. This book is wonderful for anyone who has an open mind, interest, or curiosity for the paranormal. This is so, because it is not some flim-flam, hocus-pocus described by a psychic who has no real understanding of his or her abilities, but data collected by various occults and scientifically tested.

Mastery of Fate
and
Your Forces and How to Use Them

Combines Two Books by CHRISTIAN D. LARSON

What man is, and what man does, determines in what conditions, circumstances and environments he shall be placed. And since man can change both himself and his actions, he can determine what his fate is to be. To change himself, man must change his thought, because man is as he thinks; and to change his actions, he must change the purpose of his life, because every action is consciously or unconsciously inspired by the purpose held in view. To change his thought, man must be able to determine what impressions are to form in his mind, because every thought is created in the likeness of a mental impression. To choose his own mental impressions, man must learn to govern the objective senses, and must acquire the art of original thought.

The Ruling Principle in Man; How we Govern the Forces We Possess; The Use of Mind in Practical Action; The Forces of the Subconscious; Training the Subconscious for Special Results; The Power of Subjective Thought; How Man Becomes What He thinks; The Art of changing for the Better; He Can Who Thinks He Can; How We Secure What We Persistently Desire; Concentration and the Power Back of Suggestion; The Development of the Will; The Building of a Great Mind; How Character Determines Constructive Action; The Art of Building Character; The Creative Forces in Man; The Building Power of Consecutive Speech; Imagination and the Master Mind; The Higher Forces in Man; The Greatest Power in Man.

How To Live On 24 Hours A Day
and
Friendship and Happiness and Married Life

Combines Three Books by Arnold Bennett

These volumes comprise what many consider to be the first series of self-help books ever published. In them Bennett gave thoughtful, direct, clearly written advice about living - advice that is as relevant today as ever. How To Live On 24 hours A Day was a major best-seller for Bennett in England and the United States. He reported that the book "brought me more letters of appreciation than all of my other books put together."
At the time Married Life was published, Bennett was sophisticated enough about the life of the unconscious to have informed us that a man may be sentimentally involved with his wife while at the same time hating her. In Friendship and Happiness he urges his readership to emulate that ebullient race of humans called children, and to enjoy Christmas in as personal a manner as we do a friend's birthday.

Character Building Thought Power
and
The Higher Powers of Mind and Spirit

Combines Two Books by Ralph Waldo Trine

CHARACTER BUILDING THOUGHT POWER describes a method whereby old, undesirable, earth-binding habits can be broken, and new, desirable, heaven lifting habits can be acquired, a method whereby life in part or in its totality can be changed, provided one is sufficiently in earnest to know and, knowing it, to apply the law.

Each of us resides in two kingdoms, states Ralph Waldo Trine in The Higher Powers of Mind and Spirit, an inner kingdom, consisting of the mind and the spirit, and an outer kingdom made up of the body and the physical universe around it. It is achieving the balance between these two worlds that Trine addresses in this book. One cannot force change in the outer kingdom, argues Trine without first changing the "silent, subtle forces" that make up the inner kingdom, the "kingdom of the unseen." Learn how the soul, mind, and body interrelate; how the mind can be used to build the body (and vice versa); how thought can be used as a force in everyday life, and much more.

Most of the titles in this series combine two titles (for the price of one) by noted self-help, New Thought authors. Each title in this series has been edited, revised and updated for the 21st century.

The greatest books are evergreens, whether they offer drama or direction. We have swept like a gold-detector through the classics that are considered the cornerstones of today's wildly successful business and personal self-help movement. What we've chosen is simply the best of the best.
These Classics are often described as guides to "character-based success," a standard much needed in today's world. All of these books remain fresh and relevant. We've guaranteed that, by freeing them from any archaic or restrictive writing or references that would limit their relevance to today's reader. They have been modernized, updated and edited by our editorial staff so that their unique messages stand out as clearly as the day they were first published. In addition, each of our titles contains a new Foreword that places the book in its classical and contemporary contexts.
These timeless best-sellers are full of great wisdom and grand style. In some instances they are even more meaningful now than they were when they were written.
The author of each title of The Success Classics is one of the world's most highly regarded and influential authors of self-help and motivational books. Some of these names-James Allen, Ralph Waldo Trine, Arnold Bennett-have been widely known for many years. Others are being rapidly rediscovered in a world hungry for integrity, common sense and personal values on both corporate and personal levels.
