For anyone interested in another famous book from this time period I recommend reading “As a Man Thinketh” by James Allen[0]. I came across this book during a depressing period 8 years ago and it helped me climb out of my hole. In addition to this, I read a portion of another book of his, “Eight Pillars of Prosperity”, from which a lot of concepts are now probably common advice and platitudes.
I’d venture to guess that a lot of these older books have some “outdated” concepts within them — though it’s easy enough to ignore. There are still good parts within old books that you can take to heart, and selectively skip past things you disagree with.
I have not read Smiles’s “Self-Help”, so I’ll give it a shot here.
