Summary "Self Help; with Illustrations of Conduct and Perseverance" by Samuel Smiles is a motivational treatise, likely written in the late 19th century. The book explores the value of self-reliance, perseverance, and individual effort in achieving personal and societal progress. It emphasizes the importance of working diligently towards one’s goals and learning from the struggles and achievements of notable figures who have succeeded through their own efforts. The opening of the book sets the stage for a discussion on the spirit of self-help, outlining the impact of individual actions on national progress. Smiles shares anecdotes of various historical figures from humble beginnings, detailing how their perseverance and commitment to personal growth contributed to their success. He argues that real growth comes from self-effort rather than reliance on external sources and stresses that good examples of conduct can inspire others towards improvement. Smiles’ introduction encourages readers to embody the values of hard work, integrity, and resilience as a means to elevate not only themselves but their communities.
