Book Description
It is being slowly, but surely, engraved upon the minds and souls of men that years of unexampled industrial productivity and of the accumulation of great wealth are not bringing, and have not brought, happiness to mankind. On the contrary, we are seeing poverty, distress, perplexity, and crime following in the wake of economic prosperity, and the faith of the materialist in gold and silver as the bulwark of a nation is not so strong.-from "When Money Is King and Business Our God"Edward Bok wielded enormous influence during his three-decade tenure as editor of the Ladies Home Journal, a pulpit from which he advocated numerous progressive causes, from women's suffrage and environmental preservation to public sex education and pacifism. Here, in this 1926 book, he issues a passionate call for a new ideal of service to humanity as the foundation upon which our society should be built, a call that still impresses today, in an era of war and natural catastrophe that warrants a concerted national response. Anyone who has felt the urge toward public service will take heart from this inspiring work.Also available from Cosimo Classics: Bok's autobiography, The Americanization of Edward Bok.American Pulitzer Prize-winning author EDWARD W. BOK (1863-1930) also wrote Successward and America Give Me a Chance, among other books.

Successward: A Young Man's Book for Young Men
Author: Edward William Bok
Publisher: DigiCat
ISBN:
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 72
Book Description
This book explores what success is for a young man. In this book, the author opines that the average young man is apt to think that success is not for him. To his mind, it is a gift to the few, not to the many. "The rich, the fortunate—they are the only people who can be successful," is the way one young fellow recently expressed it to me, and he thought as many do. It is this wrong conception of success that this book aims to remove. It has no other purpose than to show that success—and the truest and best success—is possible to any young man of honorable motives. The subject is not new. All that is hoped for from this book is that it may have for young men a certain sense of nearness to their own lives and thoughts, from the fact that it is not written by a patriarch whose young manhood is far behind him. It is written to young men by a young man to whom the noise of the battle is not a recollection, but an everyday living reality. He thinks he knows what a fight for success means to a young fellow, and he writes with the smoke of the battle around him and from the very thick of the fight.
