Hurry is the scourge of America: Jordan's diagnosis, written more than a century ago and truer every year. His essays exalt the majesty of calmness, the power of personal influence, the dignity of self-reliance, and failure turned into success. Ten-minute chapters with lifetime application. Slow down long enough to read one.
