Publisher's Summary

Originally published in 1936, this is of the very greatest self-help books ever written, with more than two millions copies sold. Still, it's not your typical, easy "believe in yourself and/or pretend to agree with everybody, and the success will surely be yours" sort of a book. If you "hate self-help books" then this one is just for you!

There's lots about creativity here, and about work requiring creativity. The author was a creative person herself - a successful writer of fiction, who also wrote two non-fiction books that have won a well-deserved place among the greatest books of their kinds. One is the present one, the other Becoming a Writer - still most likely the best advice for all actual and aspiring creative writers - both on psychology and on practical aspects of their work.

Wake Up and Live! is a practical handbook for every man and woman who wants to find success and happiness in life. Simply written and easy to listen to, it shows you how to overcome the obstacles that are holding you down. It will prove to you that the use, not the quantity, of your brains is what counts most toward successful living. Wake Up and Live! has opened the eyes of thousands of readers to a whole new idea of living. Here is an audiobook that can revolutionize your entire existence and put success within reach by teaching you to concentrate on the things that really matter.

Solid, Inspirational

Bit dated, and some of the challenges are quite extreme. But ultimately rooted in wisdom, can see why it was a game changer back in the day.
