The purpose of this book is to inspire in men lofty ideals.  It is particularly for those who daily defraud themselves because of doubt, fearthought, and foolish timidity.

Thousands of persons are held in physical and mental bondage, owing to lack of self-confidence.  Distrusting themselves, they live a life of limited effort, and at last pass on without having realized more than a small part of their rich possessions.  It is believed that this book will be of substantial service to those who wish to rise above mediocrity, and who feel within them something of their divine inheritance.  It is commended with confidence to every ambitious man.
