A Thinking Book
First Edition: July 1960.
I didn't know this was so old when I read it....can't tell at all. So this must be what is called quality, timeless stuff. Too lazy to do a book review. It's not just about $$ riches. We are rich in so many other ways too. So I'll just borrow lines & whole paragraphs that I enjoyed reading.

You have absolute control over but one thing, and that is your thoughts.

There's a section titled: The Brain. A broadcasting and receiving station for Thought. This is good stuff.

Sometimes men speak lightly of the intangibles--the things which they cannot perceive through any of their five senses, and when we hear them, it should remind us that all of us are controlled by forces which are unseen and intangible.
The whole of mankind has not the power to cope with, nor to control the intangible force wrapped up in the rolling waves of the oceans. Man has not the capacity to understand the intangible force of gravity, which keeps this little earth suspended in space, and keeps man from falling from it, much less the power to control the force. Man is entirely subservient to the intangible force which comes with a thunder storm, and he is just as helpless in the presence of the intangible force of electricity.
Nor is this by any means the end of man's ignorance in connection with things unseen and intangible. He does not understand the intangible force (and intelligence) wrapped up in the soil of the earth - the force which provides him with every morsel of food he eats, every article of clothing he wears, every dollar he carries in his pockets.
