As he explains in Chapter One: \u003cem\u003eWe Go Seeking\u003c\/em\u003e, he had been searching \"...for a man who has discovered the universal law which lies back of the Sermon on the Mount, and who consciously uses that law with full awareness of its meaning, and full obedience to its principles.\" He believed that he had found that man in Walter Russell.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWalter Russell (b. 1871, d. 1963) was a man who seemed preternaturally adept at everything he wished to try. After being removed from school at the age of nine and sent to work at a dry goods store, he worked a number of low-paying jobs. But he had \"absolute faith...that anything can come to one who trusts to the unlimited help of the Universal Intelligence that is within so long as one works within the law and always gives more to others than they expect, and does it cheerfully and courteously.\" \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThroughout his life, he found success as a musician, painter, sculptor, writer, ice skater, philosopher, and lecturer. He was commissioned to sculpt a 28-figure Mark Twain Memorial just a few years after he began sculpting. And in 1943, President Franklin D. Roosevelt asked him to sculpt the Four Freedoms Monument. He designed several buildings in New York City and invented the cooperative ownership model (aka the co-op). And most of these pursuits were undertaken with no formal education. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBy the time Clark met with Russell, he had achieved success in his artistic, literary, architectural, physical, and even scientific pursuits. So when Clark was searching for a man who knew the secrets of the universe and was referred to Russell on more than one occasion, he knew that he had to meet him. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eLarge portions of the book, particularly in the chapters \u003cem\u003eWe Meet the Man\u003c\/em\u003e, \u003cem\u003eWe Meet the Man of Action\u003c\/em\u003e, and \u003cem\u003eThe Five Laws of Success\u003c\/em\u003e, are presented as an interview with Russell, giving us insight into his beliefs straight from the source. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\"Every successful man or great genius has three particular qualities in common,\" he says. \"The most conspicuous of these is that they all produce a prodigious amount of work. The second is that they never know fatigue. And the third is that their minds grow more brilliant as they grow older, instead of less brilliant. Great men's lives begin at forty, where the mediocre man's life ends. The genius remains an ever-flowing fountain of creative achievement until the very last breath he draws.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAt the heart of Russell's philosophy is a belief that every man \"has consummate genius within him. Some appear to have it more than others only because they are aware of it more than others are, and the awareness or unawareness of it is what makes each one of them into masters or holds them down to mediocrity...\"\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eTo \u003cem\u003eknow \u003c\/em\u003ethat we have genius inside of us, and to have absolute faith in our inner voice and in the Universe, is to unlock that genius. Through the story of Russell's brilliant life and his Five Personal Laws of Success (humility, reverence, inspiration, deep purpose, and joy), the reader gets a plain-language example of genius-in-action. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eHe demonstrated his great energy, lack of fatigue, and \"ever-flowing fountain\" of genius throughout his long life, maintaining his creativity until his death in 1963 at the age of 92. \u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 48\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.12 x 9 x 6 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e August 15, 2022\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51984036725037,"sku":"9781684931019","price":12.93,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0938\/3185\/6429\/files\/d1B1aWhVWGZ3aWgyZGdteVJhRWdwQT09.webp?v=1776081531","url":"https:\/\/ishookbooks.com\/products\/the-man-who-tapped-the-secrets-of-the-universe-paperback","provider":"iShook Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
