Thirty-eight chapters of optimistic wisdom which constitute what might be termed the “scriptures of the toilers.” The keynote is the higher success, and Mr. Marden points out how and when it may be discovered in all phases of business. He discusses such subjects as business integrity, the need of proper vocations, leaving one’s troubles at the office, the difference between work and drudgery, the cost of an explosive temper, and the habit of not feeling well.
