Beware the satisfied man, Marden warns; contentment at the wrong moment is a career's quiet killer. He examines the influence of environment, unworthy ambitions, and why ambition knows no age limit, then tells you to visualize yourself in a better position and make your life count. Short, punchy motivation from the founder of Success Magazine. Fuel for anyone whose fire is burning low.
