Publisher's Synopsis
A deluxe hardcover edition of the astonishing classic of spiritual psychology: this brief manifesto reveals the three simple steps to attaining your desires. So simple you won't believe it - until you try it. IF YOU KNOW WHAT YOU WANT YOU CAN HAVE IT. With this statement the author, known by the initials RHJ, put a dramatic challenge to readers in 1926. His claim was so sensational, so audacious, so begging of argument that one immediately wants to dismiss it. But for one thing: IT WORKS. RHJ's little pamphlet, IT WORKS, has sold more than 1.5 million copies and won the dedication of generations of readers who have purchased it by the handful to hand out to friends. The author's three-step method is simplicity itself: 1) Write down your desires on a list. 2) Read it morning, noon and night. 3) Tell no one about it. But don't be fooled: Tucked within the folds of this unthinkably simple plan are a set of psychological and metaphysical verities that produce extraordinary results. IT WORKS distils centuries of spiritual striving into one tantalisingly concise programme. The strange little book that has found its way into the hearts of readers across the world, is now available in a special deluxe edition with bonus material. This immortal keepsake edition is suited to a lifetime of reading, re-reading and note-taking. IT WORKS: Deluxe Edition features: · Bonus chapter: "The 3-Step Miracle: The Story of It Works" by Mitch Horowitz, which explores the identity of RHJ, the source of his programme - and WHY it works. · Complete photo reproduction of the first edition of It Works · Paper overboard cover with glossy finish and metallic ink · Red gilding on page edges · Red ribbon place marker · Four-colour photographic frontispiece displaying four vintage covers of It Works · Full text of It Works "Gloriously succinct.the author - whose initials stood for Roy Herbert Jarrett, a Chicago salesman and ad man-distils the positive-thinking enterprise into a (deceptively) simple exercise of itemising your desires in a list. If approached with maturity, Jarrett's exercise amounts to a personal inventory-taking and a meaningful assessment of one's true aims." -Mitch Horowitz, Time.com
