Guest Article - by Dr. Robert C. WorstellOf course, this is how the self-help industry fits the definition of a scam: (whine) "I didn't get what I expected (or was sold)." And while reputable distributors honor repayments quickly, it still doesn't help that you didn't get what you wanted.Because self help is supposed to do something for you. Something you can apply yourself to your self and

Found this great publisher, Lulu.com, which was founded by Bob Young of Red Hat fame. The trick with this is that they have it nailed down to just do the publishing and delivery for you. You do all the marketing - so there isn't any real overhead to pay for. You set the price and Lulu takes 25% of your profit, above what it costs to produce the book. But the neat trick is that I can update a book

“God helps them who help themselves.” Benjamin Franklin – The Way to Wealth Nothing is achieved without investment; there are no free rides, free lunches or lottery winnings without something being done or given in advance or in return. Another phrase, time-worn: You get out what you put into it. So this book guarantees nothing. Results will vary from person to person, just as hair, eye and

A reason to change, something to shoot for, goal.“There are three types of people in this world: those who make things happen, those who watch things happen and those who wonder what happened.” - Mary Kay AshBefore anything can change, there needs to be a reason for change. Nothing in this universe is unmotivated, if only by the need for entertainment or distraction from boredom.I take it that

You can think for yourself. “Minds are like parachutes; they work best when open.” - Thomas DewarHere's the choice in your life: think for yourself or think the way someone else wants you to. News media, advertisers, salespeople – these all want to have you think their way or no way, or at least that's the way they sound and look. This doesn't mean they're right, far from it. By survey, most

A person can change his own attitudes "Men acquire a particular quality by constantly acting a particular way... you become just by performing just actions, temperate by performing temperate actions, brave by performing brave actions." - AristotleThis idea Aristotle refers to shows up preeminently in Dale Carnegie's book, How to Develop Self-Confidence and Influence People by Public Speaking.

The surrounding environment is a result of the mental environment."In the province of the mind, what one believes to be true either is true or becomes true." – John LillyLet's recap what we've covered in the last three days:There's a reason you're studying this book.You can think for yourself.You can change your own attitude on your own.If you've tried these out for yourself by doing the

Personal control is possible over being, doing, achieving and acquiring.“Whether you believe you can do a thing or not, you're right.” - Henry Ford.OK, so now we know and have experienced being able to change our attitudes and control what goes on in our own mind. What I tell you next has been in every self-help book I've opened and is applicable to every person on this planet, regardless of

Emphasis on positive outlook on life – eliminating critical thought and behavior.“Smile and the world smiles with you, frown and the world frowns upon you.” – UnknownThis next set of actions to learn is no Quantum Leap of logic. You can change your attitudes, change your thought, change your mind and so your personality, actions and accomplishment level. You now know the basics of how to achieve

Underlying moral/ethical understanding is the base for self-help“Always treat others as you would like them to treat you.” - Matthew 7:12As we've found that positive, creative thought is more vital, more effective than non-positive, non-creative thought – this leads logically to the next step: in order to make the best decisions, the most profitable ones, we have to treat others like we would

Visions are composed of hopes and dreams; they create reality.“Obstacles are things a person sees when he takes his eyes off his goal.” - E. Joseph CossmanCreating a vision, a goal to achieve is common to all these works; they sometimes differ in their terminology for them. Napoleon Hill mentions in the first paragraph of his book:“TRULY, 'thoughts are things,' and powerful things at that, when

Putting plans into effect will achieve one's vision. "The self is not something ready-made, but something in continuous formation through choice of action." - John DeweyWhy daydreams are so disregarded is the simple fact that they are usually never planned out for actualization, no action is taken on them.You have now learned to think positively and creatively to expand your vision. The next step

Faith is self-generated, self-created."Question: Why are we Masters of our Fate, the captains of our souls? Because we have the power to control our thoughts, our attitudes. That is why many people live in the withering negative world. That is why many people live in the Positive Faith world. And you don't have to be a poet or a philosopher to know which is best." - Alfred A. Montapert"Every

Affirmations can be used to strengthen faith and achieve your vision.“Affirmations are like prescriptions for certain aspects of yourself you want to change.” - Jerry FrankhauserWords can be powerful tools. This has been recognized and repeated throughout history.Dr. Peale tells it this way in his book:“The words we speak have a direct and definite effect upon our thoughts. Thoughts create words,

Belief in a Supreme Being or Higher Power – tapping into one's relationship with the Supreme Being increases one's own abilities and power. "My religion consists of a humble admiration of the illimitable superior spirit who reveals himself in the slight details we are able to perceive with our frail and feeble mind." - Albert EinsteinThe vast majority of humans on this planet (one recent survey

Peace of Mind is attainable through self-control."He who is of calm and happy nature will hardly feel the pressure of age, but to him who is of an opposite disposition youth and age are equally a burden." - PlatoPeace of Mind is available to anyone, at any time.Practically, we've already gone over how to achieve this. Per Haanel, this is simply regaining control over one's own thoughts, as we

Surround yourself with people around you who think as you do. The composite mind will achieve the composite vision shared."Never doubt that a small group of thoughtful committed people can change the world: indeed it's the only thing that ever has!" -Margaret MeadeThe “Master Mind” is having a group of people that you support and owe your support to. It is also your use of the earlier principles

Why this stuff is important.This book concerns everyone. Essentially, it says that there is a workable system for self-improvement which has been tested and proven through popular subscription – people like it and buy its authors' works. If one believes the data from these books to be true, then all manner of improvement in life is open to that person.But let me quote this value as seen by the

The books that made up this study and why you should read them.One might think it odd that an author would suggest that someone to stop reading his book and go out to buy and read another instead. But that is the exact premise of this book. Many philosophers have covered these points throughout history. Much of this data has been lost and then recovered and republished in different form, even

Brief history and apparent origin of American self-helpThese books have common threads. The latest, Covey's 7 Habits (1989), was based on study of 200 years of self-help texts in America. In the 20th century we have Peale's Positive Thinking (1952), preceded by Hill's Think and Grow Rich (1937) and Dale Carnegie's How to Win Friends (1937). Ten years earlier is James Allen's As A Man Thinketh (

Some observations and remarks...There are certain observations and remarks that can be, and should be made regarding self-help and the system discovered as a whole, as well as potential applications of it to broader areas such as society and government.First, logic says that practically there are no limits to what one can achieve with this system. For as one continues to work, that person will
