"The Secret of the Ages", written in 1926 by Robert Collier, is a purely subjective study of the application of Collier's Principles of Success on the Reader. Collier studies extensively, his entire life is devoted to learning. His studies in the areas of mining, theology, advertising, and metaphysics give him a background that allows him to see the world differently from most men. He makes it a point to research and study the lives of successful men and determine what makes them successful. After years of successful enterprises, Collier believes that he finds the Secret Formula of Success and sets about writing a series of books that are intended to guide the Reader to similar success.
