He wrote numerous spiritual and inspirational books, including From Passion to Peace and The Eight Pillars of Prosperity. He is considered a pioneer of the self-help movement. His best-known work, As a Man Thinketh, has been in print since its publication in 1902.
Russell Herman Conwell (1843–1925) was a Baptist minister, orator, philanthropist, lawyer, and writer. He was the founder and first president of Temple University in Philadelphia and is the author of Acres of Diamonds.
Henry Drummond (1851–1897), Scottish theologian and biologist was born at Stirling. He studied at Edinburgh, and in 1884 he became professor of Natural Science at the Free Church College in Glasgow. He traveled in the Rocky Mountains, Central Africa, Japan, Australia, etc. Works include Natural Law in the Spiritual World, The Ascent of Man, and Tropical Africa.

Hubbard is known as the founder of the Roycroft artisan community in East Aurora, New York, an influential exponent of the Arts and Crafts movement. Among his many publications were the nine-volume work Little Journeys to the Homes of the Great and the short story A Message to Garcia.
William George Jordan (1864–1928) was an American editor and essayist. He graduated from the City College of New York and began his literary career as editor of Book Chat in 1884. He later went on to become the managing editor of Current Literature and the Ladies Home Journal, after which he edited the Saturday Evening Post.

Wallace D. Wattles (1860–1911) was born in the United States in 1860, shortly before the Civil War. Later in life, he began his tireless study of the religious beliefs and philosophies of the world. It was through this relentless examination of such philosophers as Descartes, Hegel, and Ralph Waldo Emerson that he developed his own principles and successfully applied them to his life before he shared them with the world in his innovative 1910 book, The Science of Getting Rich. He died one year later. Wattles’ ideas have lived on to inspire future generations to greatness.
