Today and the Future Day by Arthur Brisbane
My rating: 4 of 5 stars
At one time newspapers were filled with editorials and short paragraphs with wisdom from the publishers. Here, famed newspaper editor, Arthur Brisbane fills a book of his writings of his philosophy of life. Today this book might be filed in the motivation section.
The writing is clean and crisp. Much of the writing is heavy handed, as motivational books tend to be. There are some inconsistencies in Brisbane’s thinking, especially in his view that we must all think, but then builds upon a dogmatic view of existence.
Lots well presented and to be learned. Whether that is of ideas new to the reader or of learning the perspective of 1925, when this book was printed.
Important to note are the wonderful illustrations throughout the book.
Bottom line: I recommend this book. 9 out of 10 points.
