Principles for Achieving Your Goals

Whether becoming rich or achieving some other goal is what you desire, this is a useful book. Written in 1937 the book is still applicable today. The premise of the book is that you can use your mind and emotions to become rich. The author suggests that this is a secret and gives a number of biographical sketches to prove his point.

The book tells of a number of great men: Dale Carnegie, Thomas Edison, Henry Ford, and others who used the principles to become fabulously wealthy. Interestingly many of the people in the book did not achieve ultimate success until after they were forty. This may have to do with finally acquiring the discipline to bring your energy to bear on your goal.

Although this book was written many years ago, the advice is applicable today. Having a goal and the persistence to work for it, are time tested ways to achieve success whether it’s riches or some other equally desirable outcome.

I enjoyed the book and recommend it to anyone who wants to achieve a worthwhile objective and is willing to work for it.

I received this book from St. Martin’s Press for this review.
