Eight Pillars of Prosperity
James Allen
The roof of prosperity is supported by the following eight pillars, which are cemented in a foundation of moral consistency:
1. Energy
2. Economy
3. Integrity
4. System
5. Sympathy
6. Sincerity
7. Impartiality
8. Self-reliance
James Allen, one of the most popular writers in the fields of inspiration at the turn of the 20th century, asks:
What makes for prosperity?
On what principles is a successful life or business built?
In this work, first published in 1911, he explains his belief that "prosperity rests upon a moral foundation," one grounded by the pillars of Energy, Economy, Integrity, System, Sympathy, Sincerity, Impartiality, and Self-Reliance.
In presenting these principles, Allen hoped to contribute to "the prosperity of the mass of mankind."
If worldly success continues to elude you, then this may be the book for you.
Allen (1864-1912) eventually retired from the business world to pursue a life of writing and contemplation.
