This early self-help volume, originally published in 1907 was written by the eminent American essayist and editor William George Jordan. Self Control - Its Kingship and Majesty is one of a number of religious books he wrote, which can be thought of as precursors to today's self-help book. The contents include: - The Kingship of Self-control - The Crimes of the Tongue - The Red Tape of Duty - The Supreme Charity of the World - Worry, the Great American Disease - The Greatness of Simplicity - Living Life Over Again - Syndicating our Sorrows - The Revelations of Reserve Power - The Majesty of Calmness - Hurry, the Scourge of America - The Power of Personal Influence - The Dignity of Self-Reliance - Failure as a Success - Doing Our Best at All Times - The Royal Road to Happiness . Many of the earliest books, particularly those dating back to the 1900s and before, are now extremely scarce and increasingly expensive. We are republishing these classic works in affordable, high quality, modern editions, using the original text and artwork.
