All self-help books seem to come down to a few basic truths, such as: Know where you want to be, set a goal to get there, and act on the goal.
The three short books compiled in this volume — "As A Man Thinketh," "Acres of Diamonds" and "The Science of Growing Rich" — tap into these basic truths in ways that have inspired generations. That they are short books — this compilation of all three fills fewer than 175 pages — is testimony to the fact that they are simple, basic truths. But coming to grips with these truths and acting on them can be life-changing.
