Samuel Smiles' Self Help: A 52 brilliant ideas interpretation

Rate this book
A bestseller immediately after its publication in 1859, "Self-Help" propelled its author to fame and rapidly became one of Victorian Britain's most important statements on the allied virtues of hard work, thrift, and perseverance. Smiles' most celebrated book sold 20,000 copies in its first year of publication and later became known as the 'bible of mid-Victorian liberalism'. "Self-Help" is often viewed as the precursor of today's motivational and self-help literature. Here, Samuel Smiles' text is interpreted for the modern day world. Steve Shipside illustrates the timeless nature of Smiles' insights by bringing them to life through modern business, socio and political case studies. This brilliant interpretation of "Samuel Smiles' Self-Help" is an entertaining accompaniment to one of the most famous books on self-improvement ever written.

أعطيت الكتاب خمسة نجوم لأنني أعشق كتابات سامويل سمايلز وليس من أجل هذا الكتاب بالتحديد ،وما كان من الكاتب إلا أن جلب بعض مقولات سامويل سمايلز وعلق عليها ببساطة. الكتاب يعلق على كتاب سامويل سمايلز الاصلي والذي كان اسمه Self Help والذي نشر قبل أكثر من 150 سنة

. قرأت الكتاب من قبل مرتين وفي الحقيقة قلما تجد كتب في هذه الأيام بمستوى هذا الكتاب على الرغم بأنه قد كتب منذ زمن بعيد .أغلب المقولات التي جائت في هذا الكتاب القصير كنت أحفظها وأتذكرها من كتاب سامويل سمايلز الأصلي والذي بين الحينة والفينة أقرأ فيه . أنصح المهتمين أن يقرأوا كتب سامويل سمايلز وهي متوفرة باللغة الانجليزية على موقع أمازون.

A great little book packed with tips and strategies for getting the most out of life.
Based on the austere Victorian outlook of Samuel Smiles, but with a modern twist, it is a refreshing change from modern books of the same genre.
