In a cogent work that advocates industry, thrift, and self-improvement, Samuel Smiles’s most popular book offers readers a path to success by helping individuals “apply themselves diligently to right pursuits—sparing neither labour, pains, nor self-denial in prosecuting them—and to rely upon their own efforts in life.”
About the author
Samuel Smiles (1812-1904) was born in Edinburgh, the eldest of eleven children. After studying medicine and finding work as a doctor, he embarked on a long career in politics. He then turned to a writing career, promoting self-improvement—leading to the self-publication of his first book, Self-Help, in 1859.
