Collier believed that one’s subconscious mind is like a sleeping giant and once awoken it can bring fame, fortune and happiness. He set to work on a series of psychology texts and The Secret of the Ages, released in 1926, was the first to explore this theory. It was a runaway best-seller. In the book Collier plots the course his readers need to follow in order to achieve their ultimate goals.
