This book gives you the tools to have a happier and more successful life. Collier will show you how the way you think and the decisions you make have a direct influence on how successful and happy you are. Without the foundation that Collier laid herein, Rhonda Byrnes' The Secret could never have been written. Long before Michael Losier and James Arthur Ray reminded the world just how effective the power of positive thinking could be in Laws of Attraction and The Science of Success, there was Robert Collier's Secret of the Ages."--blurb from a later edition ; "After overcoming an illness by what he believed to be subliminal means, Robert Collier became fascinated with the power of the mind and how it may be used to create success in every area of life. Collier believed that one's subconscious mind is like a sleeping giant; once awoken it can bring fame, fortune and happiness. He set to work on a series of psychology texts and The Secret of the Ages, released in 1926, was the first to explore this theory. In this book, Collier plots the course his readers need to follow in order to achieve their ultimate goals. The book proved fantastically popular and sold over 300,000 copies. Many of his insights are still relevant today"--commentary from a later edition. ; VG/G
