About this book
Character comes before a career in Orison Swett Marden's advice on getting ahead. Published in 1896, this handbook links success with reliability, preparation and the development of a person's wider abilities. Its opening chapter moves between quotations, anecdotes and comments on everyday occupations, from clerical work to skilled trades. Marden argues that earning a living should also provide opportunities for education, judgment and personal growth.
The chapter headings turn these ideas into practical themes: choosing work, concentrating, attending to small details, saving money and persisting through difficulties. In the middle excerpt, accounts of explorers, writers, public figures and military leaders illustrate his belief in courage and an early willingness to begin. Readers interested in the history of personal improvement will find a forceful nineteenth-century voice, with moral instruction woven into examples of achievement. The variety of occupations and historical figures makes the book a record of what its author considered useful ambition.
