This vintage self-help book from 1962 offers a fascinating glimpse into the post-war American psyche and the burgeoning self-improvement movement. “SUCCESS! THE GLENN BLAND METHOD” by Glen Bland promised readers a path to personal and professional fulfillment through a blend of positive thinking, goal-setting, and what Bland termed “Self-Parenting” techniques. Drawing on influences ranging from Norman Vincent Peale’s “The Power of Positive Thinking” to the 12-step program, Bland’s approach resonated with a nation emerging from the deprivations of World War II and the Korean War, eager to unlock their potential in the prosperous new age. While some of Bland’s advice now seems quaint, the book remains a compelling artifact of its era and an early entry in the enduringly popular self-help genre. This well-preserved copy invites collectors and readers to experience a slice of 1960s motivational literature and the American dream mindset that pervaded the era.
