So much wisdom is lost because we assume newer is better.
In almost every area of life, novelty is pushed on us at the expense of tradition.
Now some novelties are obviously welcome. I take no dogmatic position against them. I couldn't make the living I do without the novelty of the Internet.
So much good advice has disappeared into the ether because we've been taught to ignore or disparage what came before us.
Here's where the subject line comes from:
My old friend Roger McCaffrey founded a company called Roman Catholic Books, and instead of publishing new authors -- who, these days, aren't really as good as the older ones, to put it mildly -- he would
reprint the works of much earlier authors.
"The only good author is a dead author," he said.
When it comes to marketing, success secrets, advertising, wealth, etc., we're out of our minds to neglect what were once the old classics, like
Napoleon Hill's Think and Grow Rich.
Well, the great Russell Brunson (whose book The Linchpin, for which I paid only the shipping, could well double my income next year, as I noted in a recent Tom Woods Show episode) is on a mission to bring these forgotten books back.
And as with The Linchpin, he's giving a few of them away in a free plus shipping offer during an extremely short window.
Instead of psychobabble mumbo-jumbo, learn the real stuff they used to teach before everything decent and normal was destroyed.
"They don't make 'em the way they used to," we say. That's because the wisdom that went into making 'em the way they used to is sitting collecting dust in old books.
