In Suggestion: The Secret of Success (1922), A. W. Martens examines the ways repeated ideas, spoken language, environment, expectation, and inward self-talk shape habit and conduct.

The book brings together early popular psychology, autosuggestion, and mental science. Martens considers conscious and unconscious influence, the formation of belief, confidence, will, habit, and the deliberate use of constructive mental impressions.

Success is presented less as a single formula than as the cumulative result of what the mind repeatedly accepts and acts upon. The work offers a useful historical view of suggestion before the subject became more firmly divided among psychology, advertising, self-help, and clinical practice.

Historical Note
The book reflects the psychological terminology and assumptions of its period and is offered as a historical text.
