Über den Autor / die Autorin
Success magazine was started in 1897 by Dr. Orison Swett Marden (1848-1924), an American motivational writer who wrote about gaining success in life. In his works, he expounds on the values and common sense that contribute to a full and happy existence. His views heavily rely on New Thought principles. Pushing to the Front (1894), his debut novel, was an instant hit. Eventually, Marden released fifty or more books and pamphlets, at a rate of around two per year. Marden had a lively, approachable writing style and employed clear, straightforward language. He was fond of the "bold headline" method, and he always tried to get to the point quickly and clearly. Perhaps it was his business experience that allowed him to convey so much with so few words. He also spoke with an authentically American accent and syntax that many contemporary readers will recognize and appreciate. His writings cover a wide range of topics, but business, salesmanship, and the finer points of a well-rounded life are where he shines brightest.
