Opinions and Reviews of Dr. Marden's
The Secret of Achievement
Exasperating
"'The Secret of Achievement' is one of those exasperating books which
you feel you ought to present to your young friends, yet find yourself
unwilling to part with." WILLIAM B. WARREN, Former President Boston University.
Art of Putting Things
"I have studied Dr. Marden's books with deep interest. He has the art of
putting things; of planting in the mind convictions that will live. I
know of no works that contain equal inspiration for life."
HEZEKIAH BUTTERWORTH.
A Great Service
"I thoroughly feel that you are rendering a great service to young men
and women in America and throughout the world."
REV. R.S. McARTHUR, D.D., New York City.
The Difference
"'Pushing to the Front' is a great book and 'Rising in the World' is a
magnificent book, but 'The Secret of Achievement' is a superb book."
Success against Odds
"This volume contains a series of stimulating anecdotes and advice
showing how energy, force of well-directed will, application, lofty
purpose, and noble ideals serve to win success even against the greatest
odds. Many a young man will draw inspiration from it which will aid him
in making his life work a success."

Opinions of
The Miracle of Right Thought
Dr. Sheldon Leavitt says:
"I wish to state that I am unusually well pleased with Dr. Marden's
'Miracle of Right Thought.' It is the best work of the author."
Ralph Waldo Trine says:
"This is one of those inspiring, reasonable and valuable books that are
bringing new life and new power to so many thousands all over our
country and all over the world to-day."
"You have formulated a philosophy
which must sooner or later be universally accepted. Your book shows how
the right mental attitude helps one in the realization of every laudable
ambition, and the value of cultivating a bright, self-reliant habit of
thought. I congratulate you on it."
G.H. SANDISON, Editor, The Christian Herald.
"It is marked by sanctified common sense;
it is in line with the advance thought of to-day, and yet it is so
simple in statement that unlettered men and untrained youths can master
its best thoughts and translate them into their daily lives."
REV. R.S. MacARTHUR, D.D., New York City.
REV. F.E. Clark, President United Society
of Christian Endeavor, says:
"I regard 'The Miracle of Right Thought' as one of Dr. Marden's very
best books, and that is saying a great deal. He has struck the modern
note of the power of mind over bodily conditions in a fresh and most
interesting way, while he has not fallen into the mistake of some New
Thought writers of eliminating the personal God from the universe. No
one can read this book sympathetically, I believe, without being happier
and better."

Selling Things
By ORISON SWETT MARDEN
A Book For Salesmen
"Deals with the training of salesmen and the necessary attributes to
make them successful. All phases of the subject are considered: clothes,
presence, ability to talk, persuasive powers, tact, helping and getting
the customer to buy."
Bookseller.
Will be Welcome
"A book that will be gladly welcomed by sales managers and salesmen in
every field."
Philadelphia Public Ledger.
Helps to Prosperity
"One of the best things that you have written, and ought to be in the
hands of every man who would call himself a salesman. There are many
points therein that will certainly help him to prosperity."
Samuel Brill.
A Masterful Work
"A masterful work and is filled from cover to cover with practical
usable information for young men and women. I consider this book one of
the best things you have done, and that is saying a great deal when the
excellence of your previous works is taken into consideration."
Hudson Maxim.
A Powerful Factor
"In our opinion, if 'selling' would be given more thought by such world
famous writers as you, it would be a powerful factor in the complete
revolution of business, and eliminate to a great extent the waste of
time, money and human life that is so recklessly thrown away under the
present ignorance of true salesmanship."
N.A. Corking, Sales Mgr., Ford Motor Company.
