In Prosperity - How to Attract It (Unabridged), Orison Swett Marden crystallizes early twentieth-century success ethics into a lucid code of life. Blending anecdote, moral exhortation, and brisk case sketches, he argues that prosperity is not windfall but the outgrowth of character, purposeful work, cheerful expectancy, and disciplined habits. He opposes speculation to service, couples imagination to industry, and urges readers to cultivate self-mastery, clear aims, and a fertile mental climate. The unabridged text preserves his hortatory cadence and aphoristic sparkle, firmly situated within New Thought and Progressive Era optimism. Marden wrote from experience. Orphaned young and largely self-educated, he financed his schooling, trained in medicine, built a career in hospitality and publishing, and founded Success Magazine. His synthesis of Emersonian self-reliance, Protestant moral seriousness, and contemporary psychology reflects both his hardships and his sustained study of exemplary lives. That blend of biography and applied philosophy explains the book's recurrent insistence that inner attitude organizes opportunity. Recommended to entrepreneurs, educators, and historians of American self-help alike, this unabridged edition offers historical context and enduring counsel. Read it for its disciplined optimism, its concrete maxims, and its insistence that prosperity is a virtue grounded in usefulness, integrity, and steady effort.
