A propos de l’auteur
Russell Herman Conwell (1843–1925) was a prominent American orator, lawyer, Baptist minister, philanthropist, and writer. Best known for his famous lecture ‘Acres of Diamonds, ‘ which he delivered over 6, 000 times during his life, Conwell’s philosophy foregrounded the potential for self-improvement and success within one’s own backyard—an ideal that resonated deeply with the American dream. His belief that every person harbors the ability to educate themselves and to unlock their inherent potential formed the central theme of ‘EVERY MAN HIS OWN UNIVERSITY – Success & Empowerment Collection.’ In this work, Conwell argues that the resources for achieving success are present within one’s own experiences and observations. He emphasized the value of personal observation and experience in gaining practical knowledge. His literary style was direct and motivational, aiming to inspire the reader to recognize and utilize their own resources and abilities. Conwell’s approach to ‘self-universities’ built upon the contemporary cultural emphasis on self-help and individualism during the late 19th and early 20th centuries. As the founder and first president of Temple University, he was not just a theorist but a practitioner of educational empowerment, and his legacy continues through the institution that stands as a testament to his life’s work in democratizing education and encouraging personal growth. Through his lectures and writings, Conwell made significant contributions to the genre of self-help and motivational literature, influencing generations of readers to seek success through self-cultivation and continuous learning.
