TWO YEARS ago I came across a formula for success which has
revolutionized my life. It was so simple, and so obvious once I had
seen it, that I could hardly believe it was responsible for the
magical results which followed my putting it into practice. Of
course I was always looking for a way out of my impasse. But when I
actually had the good fortune to find it, I hardly believed in my
own luck. At first I did not try to analyze or explain it. But the
main reason for my taking so little time to analyze or explain the
effects of the formula after I once began to use it consistently
was that I was much too busy and having far too much fun. It is in
comparison with the hesitant lives we live that the full, normal
life that is ours by right seems definitely super-normal. But this
book is not the history of the growth of an idea. It is intended to
be a practical handbook for those who would like to escape and
begin to live happily and well. Scroll Up and Get Your Copy Now.

How to Quickly Learn the Magic of Writing Success For most of my
adult life I have been engaged in the writing, the editing, or the
criticizing of fiction. I took, and I still take, the writing of
fiction seriously. So I make no apology for writing seriously about
the problems of fiction writers. I have had firsthand experience
with almost every current "approach" to the problems of writing.
The difficulties of the average student or amateur writer begin
long before he has come to the place where he can benefit by
technical instruction in story writing. He had longed to hear that
there was some magic about writing, and to be initiated into the
brotherhood of authors. This book, I believe, will be unique; for I
think he is right. I think there is such a magic, and that it is
teachable. This book is all about the writer's magic. (From the
Introduction.) Scroll Up and Get Your Copy Now.
"Eminently sensible and practical."- The New York Times Book Review
A true lost classic that can take your life to its fullest
potential. What if you were promised a simple, 8-word formula that
could turn your life around? Would you believe it? Would you try
it? Here it is:
"Act as if it were impossible to fail"
This magic key is at the heart of one of the most persuasive
self-improvement books ever published - a work that, while
forgotten, rivaled the popularity of contemporaneous books by
Napoleon Hill and Dale Carnegie. It was called "Wake Up and Live ,"
written by Dorothea Brande, an enterprising Chicago journalist.
When Brande published "Wake Up and Live " in 1936, the book soared
to popularity, selling over 1,000,000 copies in years ahead. The
book won so much acclaim that it became the sole work of mind-power
philosophy ever to make it to the movie screen - and as a musical,
no less. In 1937, 20th Century Fox released "Wake Up and Live,"
starring Walter Winchell.
Brande was a journalist and writing instructor by trade, best
known for her enduring and thoughtful instructional book, "Becoming
a Writer" (1934). That book, Brande explained, grew out of a period
of bounding productivity in her career, which began with her
discovery of one basic law of success. Brande's formula was so
simple and magical-seeming that it made people want to argue with
her the moment she uttered it. But for many it worked.
"Act as if it were impossible to fail."
Brande was a preternaturally sharp-eyed student of human nature.
She detected among the vast majority of men and women a "will to
fail." This damning wish grew from a little-seen foible of human
nature. We are, Brande insisted, more frightened of suffering
humiliation than desirous of achievement. When fear and ambition
clash, she argued, fear inevitably prevails. "The Unconscious
dreads pain, humiliation, fatigue" Brande wrote; "it bends its
efforts even more ceaselessly to the end of avoiding pain than it
does to the procuring of positive pleasures."
Rather than risk rejection, people often self-sabotage: blowing
deadlines, alienating allies, aimlessly procrastinating. Brande's
grasp of the psychology of failure brought her a "eureka" moment.
After a lifetime of searching she had found the answer.
"Act as if it were impossible to fail."
In "Wake Up and Live " - a book that is as enjoyable as its
formula is simple - Brande tells the story of her discovery and
shows how her eight-word technique can be applied across different
areas of life. With its observations about self-defeat, and its
powerful idea for navigating around it, "Wake Up and Live " is one
of the most keenly argued and carefully observant works of
practical psychology ever written.
Praise for "Wake Up and Live"
"Eminently sensible and practical." - "The New York Times Book
Review"

buttonhole each and every one of my friends and say, 'You must read
"Wake up and Live "'" - Jean Starr Untermeyer
"Fascinating and exactly the spring tonic that most of us need." -
"Chicago"" Tribune"

life was changed to one of overwhelming success." - Earl
Nightingale, "The Strangest Secret"
