What does success require beyond ambition alone?
In The Science of Success (1914), Julia Seton presents success as the result of self-knowledge, clear purpose, emotional discipline, concentration, faith, enthusiasm, and constructive use of personal power.
Seton’s approach belongs to the practical New Thought tradition, but her emphasis is broader than material gain. She asks the reader to examine mood, comparison, haste, misplaced attention, personality, individuality, poise, happiness, and the ethical use of power.
Contents include Know Yourself, Have a Plan, Don’t Hurry, Clean Up Your Moods, Mind Your Own Business, The Use of Power, Faith, Enthusiasm, Concentration, Appreciation, Happiness, Poise, Rules of the Game, and Compensation.
