Loading... All Things Considered (1908)by G. K. Chesterton
![]() None No current Talk conversations about this book. ![]() ![]() Classic Chesterton - always a pleasure to read and although this book was published over 108 years ago, the content is still current. My favourite chapter in this book is entitled 'The Fallacy of Success' and I am in full agreement with it; the sad thing is that no-one was listening then and they still aren't - our bookshops remain crammed with books on how to be successful. Chesterton writes, and rightly so, that “...there is no such thing as Success.” and states that “... there is nothing that is not successful ... That a thing is successful merely means that it is; a millionaire is successful in being a millionaire and a donkey in being a donkey.” With various other examples and observations it is hard to refute his logic or his advice that those who have purchased such books have a “moral if not legal right to ask for their money back.” The other chapters on various subjects are all treated to the hallmark Chesterton wit and insights, by which the reader cannot fail to be impressed, amused and edified. no reviews | add a review
