Above Life’s Turmoil
By James Allen
In this practical and spiritual guide, James Allen illustrates how to shut out the noise from outside to place the spotlight on the enlightenment of the inner self.
Allen, one of the most popular writers on inspiration and the power of thought of the 20th century, is best known for his work As a Man Thinketh.
An Iron Will
Orison Swett Marden says “There are three kinds of people in the world: the wills, the won’ts, and the can’ts. The first accomplish everything; the second oppose everything; the third fail in everything.” Are you of the second or third kind?
Do you wish you knew how to be more successful in life?
As a Man Thinketh
By James Allen
“All that we achieve and all that we fail to achieve is the direct result of our own thoughts.”
A classic work in the truest sense, few books have been so widely read as “As a Man Thinketh”, have stood the test of time so well, and have had such an immense impact on generations of readers. The reason for this is that it conveys such a simple, yet profound message: You are what you think.
Commando
By Deneys Reitz
A Boer Journal of the Boer War
(Revised in May 2009). Deneys Reitz was 17 when the Boer War broke out in 1899. Reitz describes that he had no hatred of the British people, but “as a South African, one had to fight for one’s country.” Reitz had learned to ride, shoot and swim almost as soon as he could walk, and the skills and endurance he had acquired during those years were to be made full use of during the war.

My Life and Work
By Henry Ford
Though the title of “My Life and Work” suggests the book to be the autobiography of Henry Ford, this is in fact a manual of business philosophy by one of the world’s greatest industrialists, businessmen, entrepreneurs and visionaries. The book describes how Ford introduced the assembly line, reduced working hours, a minimum wage, the five-day work week, etc. at the beginning of the previous century.
Manufacturing methods such as “Just-in-Time” (JIT) manufacturing are described. The JIT methodology was later on adopted by Toyota in Japan and is in common use today amongst many large manufacturing concerns in the world. Ford’s story and business philosophy is brilliantly chronicled in this biography. Much of Ford’s wisdom has been forgotten today and therefore entrepreneurs and business managers alike would do well to take another look at this classic work on business management.

The Art of War
By Sun Tzu
Whether on the battlefield or in the boardroom, The Art of War is used to gain advantage over opponents.
This classic book on military strategy was already written twenty-five hundred years ago by Sun Tzu, but his teachings have been adapted in our modern era to be used successfully in warfare, business, politics and everyday life.
The Great Boer War
Arthur Conan Doyle made his reputation as a novelist, but far stranger than fiction is the creator of Sherlock Holmes’ tale of the Boer War in South Africa. The then 40-year-old novelist wanted to see the war first hand as a soldier, but the Victorian army balked at having a popular author wielding a pen in its ranks. The army did accept him as a doctor and Doyle was knighted in 1902 for his work with a field hospital in Bloemfontein.
Doyle’s vivid account of the battles is in part thanks to the eye-witness accounts he got from his patients. Doyle has thoroughly mastered the details of the campaign, and presents them in a form that can be easily understood. Furthermore, his descriptions of the various engagements are masterpieces of graphic writing.

The Man-eaters of Tsavo
And Other East African Adventures
In 1898, the British East Africa Company commissioned Col. John H. Patterson to oversee the construction of a railway bridge over the Tsavo River in present-day Kenya.

The Master Key System
The Master Key System unlocks the door to the secrets of the law of attraction and the underlying principles of success and prosperity. It was first written as a 24-part course early in the last century and later on compiled into book form.
The ideas were so radical at the time that the book was banned in certain places and fell into obscurity. Only a number of original copies could be obtained at exorbitant prices and the book became a must-have for Silicon Valley entrepreneurs during the Internet boom.
The Power of Thought
“The Power of Thought” will appeal to all seeking to improve their lives, whether by the practical application of thought or through following a more spiritual path.
The power of thought is an astonishing energy and the greatest power which mankind has at its disposal. What a person thinks is the mainspring of all of his or her actions. It is the power which can make the highest achievements possible. It is the power by which difficulties can be conquered, disadvantages of birth and parentage overcome, and by which life can be beautified, inspired and energized with God-given powers.
