An Iron Will

Orison Swett Marden and Abner Bayley

Willpower, Marden argues, is the one asset no panic can wipe out. In these brisk pages he stacks up stories of men and women who bulldozed through poverty, ridicule, and failure on determination alone. No theory, just example after example of stubbornness doing the work of genius. A pocket furnace for cold mornings when quitting looks reasonable.
