Uncommon in nice condition - nice looking cover.  In 1888, one of the richest men in America published his masterpiece on becoming successful. Frank Munsey noted that when young people are given lectures or advice, it often proves valueless (they ignore it). Instead, he reasoned, people are influenced by their friends and peers, and also their heros. Munsey therefore wrote this book as a story with a hero, where the subconscious mind is the recipient of its advice. The story follows the adventures of young Herbert Randolph, in his quest for independence and achievement in the great city of New York.
