Title: Practical Psychology
First published: 1920
Description: Practical tips on how to live well. Written almost 100 years ago, its motivational teachings still hold true today. 
Author's Preface:In every man and woman there are enormous untapped resources. Only a small percentage of yours are being used. You are like a hundred-acre field with only ten acres under cultivation. 
You are letting Discouragement, Worry, and Fear grip you and ruin your life when you could be happy. 
You are letting yourself get old when you could stay young and attractive.
You are doing all kinds of thing to your body that make you ill when you could be well and strong. 
You are timid and self-conscious when you could be radiant with self-confidence.
You are a failure, financially and otherwise, when you could be a glorious success.
But determination alone will not do it. 
Knowledge has always been necessary to the accomplishment of anything. The will to solve a problem is useless without knowing how.
