Mastery of Self for Wealth, Power, Success

by Frank C. (Frank Channing) Haddock

"Mastery of Self for Wealth, Power, Success" by Frank C. Haddock is a self-help guide focused on personal development, likely written in the early 20th century. The book delves into the concepts of success, personal magnetism, and the cultivation of inner strength, aiming to provide readers with the tools necessary to achieve wealth, power, and overall success. At the start of the text, Haddock emphasizes the importance of building one's "Success-Magnetism," comparing it to constructing a grand structure that reaches for the skies. He introduces core principles underlying personal magnetism and success, articulating the significance of mastering physical health, mental clarity, and emotional balance, which are depicted as essential pyramids of self. Moreover, he reinforces the idea that genuine success comes not from superficial aspirations but from a deep understanding and acknowledgment of one’s capabilities and inner self. This initial framework sets the stage for exploring the interrelated concepts of personal magnetism that will be explored throughout the work.
