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 - 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.
