Description

The German poet Theodor Fontane once wrote: "A good aphorism contains the wisdom of an entire book in one sentence." The Art of a Successful Life goes a step further, collating a myriad of quotes all of which offer insights to inspire you to think about yourself, your life and your goals, and to give you the confidence and strength to cope with difficult situations.

In this book, you will find quotes from a range of thinkers: from the physicist Stephen Hawking to the artist Michelangelo, and from entrepreneurs such as Henry Ford, Steve Jobs and Warren Buffett to Confucius, Cicero, Schopenhauer and Goethe. In bringing them together, the author provides an original and practical guide to everyday life. This, alongside the 20-week success programme featured in the book, will provide you with the inspiration and strength to successfully navigate a variety of situations in all areas of your life.

About the Author

Reviews
The Power of Capitalism "This wide-ranging tome, which covers economic systems across China, Africa, Germany, the US and the UK exploring the power of capitalism, may not persuade staunch anti-capitalists of the author's alternative viewpoint. However, it certainly offers a robust challenge to anti-capitalist views and provides a series of well-defined and researched arguments in favour of a capitalist society." CITY A.M. The Wealth Elite "Rainer Zitelmann's study of the psychology of the super-rich is an ambitious project. Few could be better qualified for it than Dr Zitelmann - an historian, sociologist, journalist, businessman and investor. There has been no comparable study and it is a compelling read for all who need to understand the characteristics and motivations of rich entrepreneurs." Michael Maslinski, The Financial Times

The shipping was just superior

The shipping was just superior; not even one of the books was in contact with the shipping box -anywhere-, not even a corner or the bottom, so all the books arrived in perfect condition. The international shipping took around 2 weeks, so pretty great too.

Found a hard to get book…

Finding a hard to get book on Booksplease and with it not being an over inflated price was great. Ordering was really easy with updates on despatch. The book was packaged well and in great condition. I will certainly use them again.
