Just chasing a lead from Napoleon Hill, Hill’s publisher of his Law Of Success was Andrew Pelton. Pelton also published some self help books by Frank Channing Haddock. The Power Of Will was the one I was aiming at but I also looked to see if Haddock had printed many more books.

The Mastery of Self stood out not because of it’s large section on habits (as does The Power Of Will) but because of Haddock’s use of a Pyramid to show how the four areas of Success-Magnetism as Haddock puts it, fit together.

Here are the four pyramids and I’ll have to explain later what they all mean, but it’s interesting stuff…
