2010 Reprint of 1926 Edition. Seven volumes bound in one. Robert Collier (1885 - 1950) was an important figure in the field of Self Help and the New Thought movement. After overcoming an illness he became fascinated with the power of the mind and how to use it to create success in any area. Partially based on this experience, he wrote extensively on the subject of mind and success. Collier wrote about the practical psychology of abundance, desire, faith, visualization, confident action, and becoming your best. His bestselling title, The Secret of the Ages, sold over 300,000 copies during his life, and continues to sell to this day. This book has recently been brought back to prominence from being referenced in the popular self help movie, The Secret.
