Self-made man and renowned Baptist minister Russell Conwell helped to usher in a paradigm shift in Christian thinking in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries -- and also managed to help remake the self-help genre in the process. The Key to Success is a comprehensive overview of Conwell's philosophy, and it's chock-full of ideas that will help you make your wildest dreams of success come true.

Though he would later achieve widespread acclaim as a popular minister and writer, when he was a young man serving in the Union army, Russell Conwell had a chance encounter with then-President Lincoln. Over the course of their conversation, Conwell was able to gain a great deal of insight into Lincoln's unique personality and sense of humor. Contents: when Lincoln was laughed at; President and pilgrim; Lincoln reads Artemus Ward aloud; some Lincoln anecdotes; what made him laugh; humor in the political situation; why Lincoln loved laughter; Lincoln and John Brown.

A distinct university walks about under each man's hat. The only man who achieves success in the other universities of the world, and in the larger university of life, is the man who has first taken his graduate course and his post-graduate course in the university under his hat. There observation furnishes a daily change in the curriculum. Books are not the original sources of power, but observation, which may bring to us all wide experience, deep thinking, fine feeling, and the power to act for oneself, is the very dynamo of power.

Learn more about the role that spirituality can play in health, healing, and wellness in this volume from renowned Baptist minister Russell Conwell, who revolutionized Christian thought with his work on self-help in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries.
