Would you believe it? Would you try it? Here it is:\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eAct as if it were impossible to fail\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis magic key is at the heart of one of the most persuasive self-improvement books ever published – a work that, while forgotten, rivaled the popularity of contemporaneous books by Napoleon Hill and Dale Carnegie. It was called \u003ci\u003eWake Up and Live!\u003c\/i\u003e, written by Dorothea Brande, an enterprising Chicago journalist.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWhen Brande published \u003ci\u003eWake Up and Live!\u003c\/i\u003e in 1936, the book soared to popularity, selling over 1,000,000 copies in years ahead. The book won so much acclaim that it became the sole work of mind-power philosophy ever to make it to the movie screen – and as a musical, no less. In 1937, 20th Century Fox released \u003ci\u003eWake Up and Live\u003c\/i\u003e, starring Walter Winchell.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBrande was a journalist and writing instructor by trade, best known for her enduring and thoughtful instructional book, \u003ci\u003eBecoming a Writer\u003c\/i\u003e (1934). That book, Brande explained, grew out of a period of bounding productivity in her career, which began with her discovery of one basic law of success. Brande’s formula was so simple and magical-seeming that it made people want to argue with her the moment she uttered it. But for many it worked.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn \u003ci\u003eWake Up and Live!\u003c\/i\u003e – a book that is as enjoyable as its formula is simple – Brande tells the story of her discovery and shows how her eight-word technique can be applied across different areas of life. With its observations about self-defeat, and its powerful idea for navigating around it, \u003ci\u003eWake Up and Live!\u003c\/i\u003e is one of the most keenly argued and carefully observant works of practical psychology ever written.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e“Eminently sensible and practical.” – \u003ci\u003eThe New York Times Book Review\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e“Fascinating and exactly the spring tonic that most of us need.” – \u003ci\u003eChicago Tribune\u003c\/i\u003e","brand":"Penguin Publishing Group","offers":[{"title":"STANDARD","offer_id":62250976641411,"sku":"9780399165115","price":27.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0907\/8456\/3587\/files\/9780399165115.jpg?v=1785419507","url":"https:\/\/shopcomics.eu\/products\/wake-up-and-live-9780399165115","provider":"Shop Comics EU","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
