The Legacy of Self-Help
The Grandfather of Self Help
On Radio 4, Thursday 2 July at 11am historian Kate Williams investigates the success and lasting legacy of Samuel Smiles' 1859 book Self Help, which outsold both Darwin's On the Origin of Species and Mill's On Liberty, also published that year, and gave birth to the idea that we can all achieve greatness through the application of sheer hard work.
Kate finds out if it contains a message for our own times, examines its enduring popularity and meets some of those who have been influenced by its ideas, including former politician Michael Portillo, who also reveals the book's influence on Margaret Thatcher.
The legacy of Samuel Smiles' Self Help is also celebrated in the book Self Help for the 21st Century by Malcolm Good.
Self Help for the 21st Century updates Smiles' concept with a takes a fresh look at what self-help means today. A compelling mixture of opinion, social observation and biography, their contributions create an interesting and thought-provoking commentary. Their stories and views offer an up-to-date view on just what Self-Help for the 21st Century means for different people.
