Self Help; Conduct & Perseverance

Summary:
Many nineteenth-century Americans believed strongly in the individual’s capacity to improve and educate him or herself, as well as in the importance of formal education. Samuel Smiles's book, Self Help, first published in 1859, might be out of place on a modern shelf of self-help books. Smiles wrote biographies of the great engineers that used steam and steel to build that empire. This book shows that people can help themselves become whatever  they want, and that many great men of the early 19th century had been born poor, worked as a tradesman, then shaped himself into greatness.
