Orison Swett Marden 
He Can Who Thinks He Can 
And Other Papers on Success in Life

Self-help books aim to help the reader with problems, offering them clear and effective guidance on how obstacles can be passed and solutions found, especially with regard to common issues and day-to-day life. Such books take their name from the 1859 best-selling “Self-Help” by Samuel Smiles, and are often also referred to as ’self-improvement‘ books. This particular self-help book concentrates on ambition and desire, and the individual’s power to use these tools to gain success and happiness. Contents include: “He Can Who Thinks He Can”, “Getting Aroused”, “Education by Absorption”, “Freedom at Any Cost”, “What the World Owes to Dreamers”, “The Spirit in Which you Work”, “Responsibility Develops Power”, “An Overmastering Purpose”, etc. Dr. Orison Swett Marden (1848–1924) was an American author of inspirational books. He wrote primarily on the subject of being successful and founded “SUCCESS” magazine in 1897. Marden’s books deal with attaining a fruitful and well-rounded life, with many of his ideas being based on the New Thought movement. Many vintage books such as this are becoming increasingly scarce and expensive. It is with this in mind that we are republishing this volume now in an affordable, modern, high-quality edition complete with the original text and artwork.
