The factors that lead to prosperity and happiness have changed little through the ages. From the lives of accomplished men and women, we can extract the three principles they have used to build a better future: self-reliance, tolerance, and entrepreneurship. This book presents how individuals can use these principles to overcome adversity and improve their lives. Through the analysis of situations in the areas of relationships, career, health, and investments, it shows how to overcome discouragement, walk the path of least resistance, simplify your life, reduce costs, and focus on opportunities. The ideas are illustrated with examples from the lives of Paracelsus, Jane Austen, Thomas of Aquinas, Gutenberg, Jules Verne and other historical figures, showing how they overcame obstacles and built a better future for themselves.
