Orison Swett Marden's Pushing to the Front is a classic of the literature of personal motivation that remains startling relevant today. A phenomenal bestseller when it was first published in 1894, it was greatly expanded by popular demand to two volumes in 1911. Marden explores a wide range of issues that hold us back from success in all areas of our lives. Presented here as one combined volume, Marden discusses: ¿ Choosing a vocation ¿ Success under difficulties ¿ The habit of happiness ¿ The power of suggestion ¿ Why some succeed and others fail ¿ And much more... "Nearly all great men, those who have towered high above their fellows, have been remarkable above all things else for their energy of will," Marden notes... and shows us how to cultivate our energy of will, too. 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.
