An Iron Will by Orison Swett Marden
Happy New Year!
I recorded this classic in one sitting (with two tea breaks) on New Year's Day.
It would have felt odd, almost insulting to the spirit of the work, to have turned the task into a set of delicate slices. Orison Swett Marden was a self-help author from New Hampshire who suffered numerous setbacks in his life, including the loss of his hotel and 5,000 manuscript pages in a fire.
He was admired by Henry Ford, Andrew Carnegie, John D. Rockefeller, Teddy Roosevelt, and British PM William Gladstone. His insights, rendered in an elegant but electrifying style, continue to inspire and invigorate.
Let's make 2023 spectacular.
Warm regards,
Adam
