Author Information

Marcus Aurelius (121-180 AD) was the Roman Emperor from 161 to 180 AD, and was the last of what are considered The Five Good Emperors of Rome. Notable achievements during his reign include defeating a Parthian Empire, winning the fight against the Samaritans' in the Macromannic Wars, and chronicling his views on stoic philosophy in personal journals now referred to as Meditations. Oliver Napoleon Hill (1883-1970) was an American self-help author. His best-known book Think and Grow Rich is among the 10 best-selling self-help books of all time. Born poor in a small Appallachian town in Virginia, Hill experienced several failed startup ventures before his first book, The Law of Success (1928), became a major success. After the Great Depression depleted some of his wealth and his second book was a commercial failure, Hill rebounded in 1937 when Think and Grow Rich became a best-seller. Hill's works hold that belief in one's expectations are essential to improving one's life. Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803-1882) was an American essayist, lecturer, and poet who led the transcendentalist movement of the mid-nineteenth century. Although he began his career as a Unitarian minister, he gradually moved away from the religious and social beliefs of his contemporaries, formulating and expressing the philosophy of transcendentalism instead. Seen as a champion of individualism and a prescient critic of the countervailing pressures of society, he disseminated his thoughts through published essays and public lectures across the United States.
