Fourteen brisk essays on mastering oneself, built on the claim that every man has two creators, God and himself. Jordan writes against the crimes of the tongue, against worry as the great American disease and hurry as its scourge, and for simplicity, reserve power, personal influence and the dignity of self-reliance.
Compact, quotable moral counsel from the turn of the century, ideal for readers who like their philosophy in short, bracing doses. Download the free EPUB.
