Book Description

IT WORKS - "Gloriously succinct... the author - whose initials RHJ stood for Roy Herbert Jarrett, a Chicago salesman and ad man - distills the positive-thinking enterprise into a (deceptively) simple exercise of itemizing your desires in a list. If approached with maturity, Jarrett's exercise amounts to a personal inventory-taking and a meaningful assessment of one's true aims." -- Mitch Horowitz, Time.comIT WORKS - IF YOU KNOW WHAT YOU WANT YOU CAN HAVE IT...With this statement RHJ put a dramatic challenge to readers in 1926. His claim was so sensational, so audacious, so begging of argument that one immediately wants to dismiss it. But for one thing: IT WORKS. RHJ's little pamphlet, It Works, has sold more than 1.5 million copies, and won the dedication of generations of readers who have purchased it by the fistful to hand out to friends.The author's three-step method is simplicity itself: 1) Write down your desires on a list. 2) Read it morning, noon, and night. 3) Tell no one about it. But don't be fooled: Tucked within the folds of this unthinkably simple plan are a set of psychological and metaphysical verities that produce extraordinary results. It Works distills centuries of spiritual striving into one tantalizingly concise program.IT WORKS has found its way into the hearts of readers across the world. This immortal keepsake edition is suited to a lifetime of reading, re-reading, and note-taking.
