Modern events and circumstances push the creation of new self help books uniquely designed for our times. These books have been developed just to address the issues we face in today’s world.
You may know these authors. You may have read their works. It's unlikely that you've seen them talk together about the same subject – much as these authors from different times and different places would say if they were able to show up on the same panel, or around a boardroom table (as Napoleon Hill would suggest.)
Many of these are original, based on the research of Dr. Robert C. Worstell, as he investigated the subject of self-help to prove whether or not the subject itself worked.
Along these lines, he also found himself scammed – more than once. And so wrote the book on how to get your self free from being scammed from here on out.
The subject of online ecommerce is another modern convenience which is both filled with scams, and also based on earlier knowledge. While this subject fills many additional sites and books due to the sheer volume of data – Dr. Worstell has compiled a simple series designed to help you navigate the twists and turns you may need to take in order to make your own living online.
Contemporary, and yet linked to the great Masters of our times. These are the times we live in. And as Newton himself quoted an earlier author: “Standing on the shoulders of giants allows us to see further.”
Welcome to the “Hello Freedom - Farewell Book Tour”
Most artists these days have a farewell tour when they decide to retire. And this is Dr. Worstell’s
last self-help book. Of course, some of you have never heard of his
books, so this is also Hello. And hello to your old friend Freedom, as well.
Dr. Worstell reported that through his most recent research, he had
reached the point where there was nothing else he felt he could
contribute to self-help as a subject. In this book he simply wraps
everything up. This research pointed to the fact that we are now heading
to spiritual training levels far beyond your average Self Help or
Personal Development books and materials.
Book Review of Freedom Is (period.)
While there are great lengths of details about all the research and
summizing that had to go into making this book, this is the top-of-the
line research into the idea that there is a common system of self-help
out there which all the bestseller authors have talked about and used
to make their own successes. This is, of course, an extension of the Go Thunk Yourself! book series.
And since this book comes out on the 10-year anniversary of that
milestone breakthrough, an earlier version of this book was published as
“Go Thunk Yourself, Revisited.”
But Dr. Worstell didn’t stop there – and kept finding and tweaking the contents until he knew there was nothing more to say.
He pointed out that this isn’t just a re-hash of old theories, however.
It’s not just more anecdotes and a few chapters of testimonials (as is
common these days, unfortunately.) This book takes from where the
earlier books finished and goes beyond them into really seeing how these
bestseller classic self help books intersect and corroborate the others.
Plus – he found out the missing secrets they all nearly found but missed. And these secrets make the material and principles that these earlier authors talk about work like gangbusters.
There are 7 authors talked about here, although room in the book only
permits a chapter for each, some may consider it’s a bit short-handed in
that regard. This book is meant as a broad guide, not a replacement for
those classics. It’s fully intended that you get copies of the
referenced authors’ books and study them along with this, or at least
refer back to any studies you’ve already done.
Fully the last half is based on blog articles
where Dr. Worstell reveals how he pounded out the details from this
“secret” author who gives us the final clues to moving from self-help
into spiritual training. (But the fascinating point is that there is
enough data in this last book so that you can actually go right ahead and achieve your own state of Enlightenment. Really.)
But it’s not expected that most people will take it that far. It’s just
one of those many “Easter eggs” in there – hidden in plain sight.

Premise of this book: all you could ever want is already there…
And this is the unique approach taken. Most authors agree with you that
you don’t have what you are looking for. However, this isn’t really
true.
People are much more powerful and creative than they give themselves
credit. Factually, they’ve gone into agreement with the world around
them to make it impossible for them to manifest their native and basic
talents.
The punch-line is in the key data which Napoleon Hill, Earl Nightingale, and most ancient religions and philosophies hold as axiomatic: that the world is what you think it is. Unfortunately, we’ve just given away the entire book, plot, main characters and all. It’s like this: you create the world with your thoughts.
So if you agree with the world that you are limited in any way, then
you have to realize that you somehow put those lies out there to agree
with in the beginning. (Yes, read that over a few times as you have to.)
Of course, we’re not letting you in here on how to get out from under them, are we?
The book is an easier read than trying to figure it out on your own –
it’s all in logical sequence. Well, at least the author thinks so.

Update: And thanks for all the fish - The "book tour"
has been completed, as well as the online course I used to offer. The
lessons are now available online at http://www.slideshare.net/thrive-learning/.
Midwest Journal Press was formed in early 2001 as a natural extension to an online Midwest journal.
With the mission to provide to people in all walks of life with only the best classic and modern bestseller self help books, and to make these available to an increasingly aware world, our work here has been to keep high-quality versions of classics available and as well to make it possible for new compilations and research to be created and published.
With this end in mind, we’ve carefully studied and researched to bring the most popular authors in this genre to you.
It’s not just popularity, however, but practical workability. Each of these classic authors has a proved track-record of being influential beyond their own life span. Their works have been distributed in various forms long after they passed on, in nearly all cases without having left any effective marketing organization in place.
While certainly these individual authors were personally charismatic, the test of their continuing book sales says more to the widely recognized value of their works to humankind.
Through the research of Dr. Robert C. Worstell, this “short list” of authors and their derivative works are now readily available to anyone with an Internet access. (And rest assured, work is being done to find ways to make these available to those who don’t…)
We hope that you enjoy these classic bestseller famous authors’ works and add them to your reference library – so that you can find your own “peace that passes all understanding.”
Who is Dr. Robert C. Worstell?
Rev. Dr. Robert C. Worstell, MBA, PhD is an independent researcher and the author of several self-help and self-improvement books.
Worstell also maintains several blogs which support these books. He was perhaps one of the first to invite audience participation in writing several books, through posting the entire book to his blog and simultaneously publishing to the Print-on-DemandPublisher Lulu. This arrangement enabled correction and updates to hardcopy versions within minutes.
More recently, he has been active in converting all his many print books to ebook versions so that they can be more readily found and put to use.
Worstell lives on a working farm in rural Missouri and is continually involved in research to improve the quality of life. He has spent over 35 years researching the human condition through personal studies of counseling, education, and self-improvement.
He may be contacted for interviews or speaking engagements via this site - or any of his numerous blogs.
Finding bestseller famous authors who continue changing and improving your life.
This site was created to serve your needs and wants for self improvement and personal development. People want to get better, to make their lives better. You may be looking for better health, improved relationships, more abundance (money) in your life.
Dr. Robert C. Worstell found that there were a few bestseller famous authors who routinely helped people find these for themselves. And further research found that they all were essentially saying the same things in their books - that there was an underlying system of self-help which (if applied) could improve any condition humankind has invented.
However, each author also added something personally to the wealth of techniques and methods. So we've also been able to recover many of these books which have fallen out of print. Not only have we brought them back in hardcopy format, but recently have also begun to bring them back as ebooks.
Many of these works also inspired new approaches to our modern living, and have formed the backbone of modern collections.
Please feel free to look around. Drop us a line if you have any questions or need more information.
From the initial research which started over a decade ago (and having its roots in even earlier research), these bestseller books were selected on the basis of:
Continuing bestseller status in the genre of self-help and personal development.
Author already passed on – to avoid personal charisma artificially boosting sales.
Multiple cross-references in other works which showed a positive influence beyond practical and popular use.
Dr. Worstell then also brought all these bestsellers back to life by editing them into new, readable versions. Many are also available as PDF downloads, and an additional project is ongoing to convert these to audio and video versions.
These authors mentioned other works. Often, several of these authors would even refer to the same reference, so he also brought these back as well. This was just so you could do any additional research on your own and see how those famous authors came to their own conclusions and recommendations.
Where certain subjects and topics were found as commonplace amongst these writers, Dr. Worstell compiled basic books with excerpted essays from them. These are here so that you can simply approach key subjects without having to acquire 20-30 other books and only really needing a chapter or so of each.
Since these classics had to be tested against our modern times to prove universal application – additional side researches (such as Internet Marketing, Online Fraud, and public fascination with the “Law of Attraction”) brought forward new books full of applied studies for our high-speed culture. These books are in their own category.
Certainly not the least is our most recent research findings. As this research progresses (and while Dr. Worstell says it’s taken a whole new tack, as the study of self-help in itself is wrapped up), we offer our most recently published works for your review and study.
Currently featured is “Freedom Is – (period.)”
And you’ll find our review of this book as linked. Initial reception of this has been very warm and we are still sending out sample copies as are marketing research continues.

While there is far, far more material to include here than there is immediate time to post, you can visit our re-publisher directly: at our Lulu "Go Thunk Yourself!" storefront.
The point is to make all this data available to as many people as we can, so that you too can benefit by standing on the shoulders of giants to see further.
