Beschreibung

28 Pages. Stiff maroon simulated leather covers with somewhat faded but readable title on front. Minimal cover wear. Interior with sewn binding is clean with white pages. In the early 1900s Douglas Sr. began writing books of the self-help variety. Some called it armchair philosophy; others claimed the books were ghostwritten, but upon reading them, those familiar with Fairbanks will recognize the style as clearly his own. Titles like Laugh and Live (1917) and Making Life Worthwhile (1918) reveal the basic message in his texts. This edition of Profiting by Experience was published in 1918 and along with his other self-help philosophy books was an immediate success. He wirtes that people are divided into two classes -- those who profit by expereince those who do not. And he adds unfortunately the latter class is by far the larger of the two. Fairbanks Sr. was a great believer in physical care and daily plunged into the cold early morning water. And he recommends regularly plunging into the society of those whose splendid enthusiasm is helping to make the world a better place to live in. Many of self-help books are in re-print and are in great demand even today.Over the course of his career, Doug Sr. published books, and numerous newspaper and magazine articles, short stories, and also penned most of his own film scenarios under the pseudonym of Elton Thomas. All of them are well worth reading. Fairbanks turned out to be a surprisingly prolific and talented writer in his own right. Bestandsnummer des Verkäufers 12327
