Acres of Diamonds: Our Every-day Opportunities
Russell H. Conwell · Robert Shackleton
About this book
Russell Conwell's classic self-help lecture argues that opportunities for success lie within one's own circumstances rather than in distant places, illustrated through the parable of a man who sold his farm to seek diamonds elsewhere. Readers interested in motivational philosophy and the history of American self-improvement literature will find it valuable.
