Robert Collier (1885–1950) was born in St. Louis, Missouri. His mother died when he was quite young, and his father traveled widely for Collier’s Magazine, which was founded and published by his uncle, Peter F. Collier. Robert was expected to become a priest, but before taking his vows, he decided against the life of a clergyman and headed off to seek his fortune. Collier became involved in Christian Science and, after conquering a mysterious illness his doctors had seemed powerless to stop he began to hypothesize that the mind might also have power over financial maladies. He put this idea into action, publishing The Secret of the Ages and Riches within Your Reach which has been translated into German, Italian, French, and Spanish, and sold all over the world.
