The Golden 12: Universal Rules for Achieving Success is a well organized treatment of the basic principles of personal success. The broad spectrum of self-help approaches into twelve universal rules laws. These rules are presented showing their biblical foundations, often with metaphysical interpretations.

This book is unique in that it refines and reduces religious and philosophical concepts into step-by-step action principles. It shows ways to improve your self image; overcome obstacles, fear and worry; build your self-discipline; make a success plan that works; a daily formula for achieving your goals; principles of wealth building; improving your relationships; overcoming procrastination; how to be persistent and get results.

About the Author

Herbert Harris entered Columbia University in New York City after his junior year of high school. He received a special scholarship to attend Columbia College without first completing high school. Graduating from Columbia with a degree in physics, Mr. Harris majored in nuclear physics and did research on high energy particles.

With a keen interest in music, he became a performer, songwriter, music publisher, record producer and manager. He worked with such well known groups as the Dixie Hummingbirds and The Finishing Touch.

Mr. Harris teamed up with Lucien Farrar to write How To Make Money In Music, a highly popular guide book to the music industry published by Arco/Prentice Hall. This industry bible is in most public libraries and is a part of the library collection of the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame Museum in Cleveland.

Under the tutelage of distinguished attorney Benjamin Sneed, Herbert taught himself law and passed the New York State Bar Examination without ever attending law school. He is probably the last person admitted to practice law in New York State under the "Clerkship Law," since it was changed shortly after he qualified.

While a practicing attorney, Mr. Harris wrote Thoughts For Success, a weekly nationally syndicated newspaper column. He also taught Achievement Motivation, a personal skills development course he designed, at a number of New York City colleges. Moving away from the legal profession, Herbert studied under Dr. Frederick Eikerenkoetter (Rev. Ike) and became the Director of the Science of Living Institute in New York City.

Presently Mr. Harris divides his time between writing "Thoughts For Success," his weekly newspaper column, speaking at colleges and universities, and conducting LifeSkills Seminars Workshops and Lectures.
