Список книг автора Orison Swett MardenDie Macht des Gedankens
Aus dem Inhalt: Der Glaube an hemmende Schranken und die Überzeugung, dass wir uns nicht über die Umstände zu erheben vermögen, sondern ihre willenlosen Opfer bleiben müssen, schwächen unsre Fähigkeit etwas zu erreichen und auszuführen derartig, dass wir tausend traurige Misserfolge erleiden und sind schuld an einem großen Teil der Armut und des Elends der Menschheit.Wie kann ein Mensch sich aus dem Unglück erheben, solange er noch nicht einmal davon überzeugt ist, dass er es kann? Gibt es irgendeine Wissenschaft, die einen Menschen in den Stand setzt zu können, solange er denkt, er könne nicht? Gibt es eine Philosophie, durch die ein Mensch sich erheben kann, solange er nicht emporblickt? Gibt es einen Weg, auf dem ein Mensch zum Erfolg schreiten kann, solange er Misserfolg denkt, spricht und lebt? Kein Mensch kann gleichzeitig nach zwei entgegengesetzten Richtungen gehen: es gibt keine Gewissheit neben dem Zweifel. Ehe du nicht aus deinem Lebenswörterbuch die Worte «Schicksal», «Ich kann nicht» und «Zweifel» ausstreichst, kommst du niemals in die Höhe. Du kannst nicht stark werden, solange du von der Überzeugung erfüllt bist, dass du schwach seist, und du kannst nicht glücklich sein, solange du immerfort bei dem Gedanken verweilst, wie unglücklich du bist.
Starker Glaube an sich selbst vernichtet allen Zweifel, alle Unsicherheit, alles was den Geist von einer Sache abzieht, und stärkt so die Kraft zur Sammlung aller Geisteskräfte auf einen Punkt: dadurch wird ein stetiges Vorwärtsschreiten in derselben Richtung, ohne Ablenkung und Zerstreuung der Energie, möglich. Entdecker, Erfinder, Reformatoren – diese alle haben den Geist unbesiegbarer Bejahung. (Auszug aus dem 13. Kapitel: Wie der Gedanke den Erfolg nach sich zieht.)

CHEERFULNESS AS A LIFE POWER
Spread over seven chapters this book reminds us why is it important to look on the sunny side of things, to be cheerful about anything and everything. Excerpt:
"Grief, anxiety, and fear are great enemies of human life. A depressed, sour, melancholy soul, a life which has ceased to believe in its own sacredness, its own power, its own mission, a life which sinks into querulous egotism or vegetating aimlessness, has become crippled and useless. We should fight against every influence which tends to depress the mind, as we would against a temptation to crime."
Dr. Orison Swett Marden (1848-1924) was an American inspirational author who wrote about achieving success in life and founded SUCCESS magazine in 1897. He is often considered as the father of the modern-day inspirational talks and writings and his words make sense even to this day. In his books he discussed the common-sense principles and virtues that make for a well-rounded, successful life.
HE CAN WHO THINKS HE CAN & OTHER BOOKS ON SUCCESS
Through the examples of successful people in history who all battled their demons and failures, Orison Swett Marden inspires readers to overcome their difficulties too by cultivating positive attitude. Spread over eighteen chapters and a conversational way of writing, this book would surely interest those who are looking to achieve self-confidence, power and success.
Excerpt:
"Believe in yourself; feel that you are to dominate your surroundings. Resolve that you will be the master and not the slave of circumstances. This very assertion of superiority; this assumption of power; this affirmation of your ability to succeed,—the attitude that claims success as an inalienable birthright,—will strengthen the whole man and give great added power to the combination of faculties which doubt, fear and lack of confidence undermine. Self-confidence marshals all one's faculties and twists their united strength into one mighty achievement cable. It carries conviction. It makes other people believe in us. What has not been accomplished through its miraculous power!"

The book teaches that man need not be the victim of his environment, but can be the master of it. This work shows how man can stand porter at the door of his mind, admitting only his friend thoughts, only those suggestions that will produce joy, prosperity; and excluding all his enemy thoughts which would bring discord, suffering, or failure. It teaches that «your ideal is a prophecy of what you shall at last unveil,» that «thought is another name for fate,» that we can think ourselves out of discord into harmony, out of disease into health, out of darkness into light, out of hatred into love, out of poverty and failure into prosperity and success.
