The Wisdom of William H. Danforth, James Allen & Arnold Bennett:Including:I Dare You! , As a Man Thinketh & How to Live on 24 Hours a Day
I Dare You! by William H. Danforth
I agree that a businessman should stick to business. But a proven four-fold program, plus a love for Youth, plus an inner urge-all dare me to write this book.
"I Dare You" is for the daring few who are headed somewhere. Those afraid to Dare might as well pass it up. It will weary the lazy because it calls for immediate action. It will bore the sophisticated, and amuse the skeptics. It will antagonize others. Some will not even know what it is all about. It will not be over-popular because it calls for courage, swift and daring. But in the eyes of you, one of the priceless few, I trust will come a renewal of purpose as you read on. You can be a bigger person than you are and I am going to prove it to you.
I am indebted beyond measure to Gordon M. Philpott, who has been of inestimable help in the writing and editing of "I Dare You." His keen insight, his rare judgment and his frank criticisms have helped make this book a labor of love instead of a drab task. I honor him as a close associate in business, but most of all I cherish him as an understanding friend.
As a Man Thinketh by James Allen
This book (the result of meditation and experience) is not
intended as an exhaustive treatise on the much written upon subject of the power of thought. It is suggestive rather than explanatory, its object being to stimulate men and women to the discovery and perception of the truth that - "They themselves are makers of themselves" - by virtue of the thoughts which they choose and encourage. That mind is the master weaver, both of the inner garment of character and the outer garment of circumstance, and that, as they may have hitherto woven in ignorance and pain, they may now weave in enlightenment and happiness.

How to Live on 24 Hours a Day by Arnold Bennett
This amazing book talks about some of the most important
aspects of a full existence: the awareness of the passing
of time and methods of utilizing it to one's unique advantage.
It lays out a structure to a possible way of filling one's time,
and points to the obstacles and dangers lying in this execution.
