The challenge that "you can get what you want from life if you really go after it" is the keynote of this inspiring self-help book. With numerous real-life examples of individuals who made a success of their lives despite all sorts of obstacles, Mr. Lurton illustrates how the positive approach can lead you to success. Such benefits as personal freedom from indecision, fears, tensions, worry, a feeling of inferiority, and frustration can be yours if you will apply the direct-action approach to your problems. In addition, man's greatest needs can be fulfilled—the need for social acceptance, for a satisfactory love life, and for a satisfied ego. Mr. Lurton analyzes each of these needs, and supplies appropriate tests by which the listener can determine his own portion of these ingredients of happiness.

This is a simple book dealing with a simple truth that has been obvious to you and to me and to all others, from time to time. There is the catch! From time to time, we have realized that when we think and act positively, we get positive, gratifying results. If you are blessed with a full understanding of the astonishing magic of the positive attitude, there is nothing here for you. But for those who have yet to develop a positive way of life, here is offered an exploration of the positive way that has power, within the grasp of all, to change a life from one of plodding mediocrity to one of satisfying richness.
