How to Attract Success & Fortune: 30 Books from the Masters of Self-mastery (eBook)

In 'How to Attract Success & Fortune,' an anthology curated for the modern seeker of self-mastery, Niccolò Machiavelli joins a distinguished pantheon of thinkers who have transcended time through their reflections on power, wealth, and fulfillment. This collection, articulated through a plethora of philosophical lenses, offers a mosaic of strategies for personal and professional prosperity. With its literary juxtapositions ranging from the pragmatism of Benjamin Franklin to the existential musings of Kahlil Gibran, the book serves not only as a compendium of practical wisdom but also as a testament to the enduring relevance of classical literature in the context of personal development. The inclusion of Machiavelli's 'The Prince' enriches the tapestry of thought, displaying a keen understanding of political craft that transcends into the realm of individual ascendancy. Niccolò Machiavelli, a Renaissance philosopher, is widely regarded for his acute understanding of statecraft and realpolitik. His seminal work, 'The Prince,' reveals the complex interplay between morality, power, and success-a thematic underpinning resonant throughout this collection. The writings here may have been informed by Machiavelli's historical context, where the tumultuous political landscape of 16th century Florence provided fertile ground for his scrutiny of power dynamics. A pioneer in analytical political philosophy, Machiavelli uncovers the mechanisms that underlie the attainment of power and influence, which is mirrored in subjects covered by other authors featured alongside him. This anthology is recommended for readers pursuing not only the accumulation of wealth and status but a comprehensive understanding of the philosophies that have shaped such pursuits across centuries. Individuals seeking to distill the essence of success will find in Machiavelli and his fellow authors an array of perspectives that challenge, educate, and inspire. Entrepreneurs, thinkers, and anyone inclined towards introspective growth will discern in the eclectic range of texts a guiding compass for their own journeys toward success and mastery.
