| Summary |
"Self-Development and the Way to Power" by L. W. Rogers is a self-help book written in the early 20th century. This transformative work focuses on the idea that individuals have the potential to achieve happiness and mastery over their lives through spiritual and personal development. The book encourages readers to shift from a passive acceptance of circumstances to a more active role in shaping their destiny through conscious evolution. In this book, Rogers presents a comprehensive guide to understanding human suffering and the path to personal power. He argues that ignorance breeds suffering, while wisdom brings happiness and enlightenment. The author emphasizes the importance of desire, will, and intelligence as essential components for self-development, urging readers to cultivate these traits through regular practice. He discusses the role of meditation, original thinking, and the pursuit of higher knowledge as means to unveil one's latent abilities. Throughout, Rogers asserts that spiritual illumination can lead to genuine happiness, and he challenges readers to take control of their lives and embrace a transformative journey towards self-mastery.
