Autor

Orison Swett Marden (1848–1924) was an eminent American author of the New Thought Movement, an ideology that espoused the connection between mind, body, and success. Born into poverty in Thornton Gore, New Hampshire, Marden overcame his early struggles through sheer determination and steadfast belief in self-improvement. He credited his success to the principles he would later detail in his writings. Marden graduated from Boston University and began his prolific writing career in the late 19th century. He was also a successful hotel owner before dedicating himself completely to writing and speaking on personal development. His works, notably 'Be Good To Yourself', blend practical advice with an optimistic philosophy that advocates for self-reliance, positive thinking, and the pursuit of excellence. Marden was the founder of Success Magazine, which further extended his influence on the early 20th-century American self-help landscape. His literary style is characterized by motivational anecdotes and stories that underscore the potential of the individual. 'Be Good To Yourself' (1910) emphasizes the importance of self-care and kindness as foundational to achieving one's goals. Marden's influence continued past his death, with his books staying in print and his ideas resonating in the works of later self-help authors. His philosophy has left a lasting mark on the genre of personal development literature.
