Five of the greatest success classics of all time — together in one complete library

Since the early 1960s, The Nightingale-Conant Corporation has been a world leader in publishing some of the most well-known, best-selling audio programs on success and happiness. Over these past 55-plus years, many great personal and spiritual development voices have built their unique ideas and wisdom from a common foundation of success classics that shaped the thinking of their generation.

Welcome to The Ultimate Success Classics Library! For the first time, five of these great success classics are published together in one complete library.

You'll hear the following five classic titles in their entirety:

  • The Magic of Believing by Claude M. Bristol — Originally published in 1948, this is the true masterpiece about using the power of your mind to create anything you want. Mystical, motivating, and inspiring, this book presents an extraordinary self-improvement program which draws on the philosophy that the energy of the subconscious mind can help individuals achieve any goal.
  • Wake Up and Live! by Dorothea Brande — Originally published in 1936, one of the very greatest self-help books ever written. A practical handbook to find success and happiness in life, it tells you how to overcome the obstacles that are holding you down and can revolutionize your entire existence by teaching you to concentrate on the things that really matter.
  • The Science of Getting Rich by Wallace Wattles — The classic guide to creating wealth through the "Law of Attraction." According to Wallace D. Wattles, "There is a science of getting rich, and it is an exact science, like algebra or arithmetic." This guide will help you develop a vision, strengthen willpower, cultivate gratitude, and receive life's gifts.
  • The Tao Te Ching by Lao Tzu — Originally published in the fourth century BC, the Tao Te Ching is a series of meditations on the mysterious nature of the Tao — the "Way," or the guiding light. Here you will hear a lucid poetic translation that makes the Tao Te Ching accessible to the modern world.
  • As a Man Thinketh by James Allen — Originally published in 1903, this classic masterpiece, written as a series of thoughtful essays, reflects the central truth that is the foundation of all modern success works: "As we think, so we become." Allen reveals how our thoughts shape our character and manifest themselves in our finances, health, appearance, and environment.

This Ultimate Collection is a must in your continuing journey of developing a successful New You.
