Review
Much in Self-Help is still stimulating. Its central precept - the value of hard work, ingenuity, perseverance, thrift, a solid education - is in tune with American notions of workfare, not to mention the Labour party's espousal ... of a shift in the mission statement of the British social security system from 'hand-out' to 'hand-up'. Welfare financed by taxation is no longer chic. --The Financial Times, 29.06.96
So far from a shallow exposition of 'economic man', Self-Help is an uplifting study of individual morality brought to life by personal examples. --Lord Harris, The Times, 29.06.96
About the Author
Samuel Smiles (1812–1904) was the father of the modern self-help movement, originating the much-used term with this 1859 publication. A prominent Victorian liberal, he advocated for universal suffrage among men. Smiles' frustration with the limits of government action, however, aroused his interest in motivating individuals to independently transform their lives.
