Why Poverty Is A Mental Disability - Paperback

by Orison Swett Marden (Author)

""Why Poverty Is A Mental Disability"" by Orison Swett Marden is a thought-provoking book that explores the relationship between poverty and mental health. The author argues that poverty is not just a financial condition, but a mental disability that affects an individual's self-esteem, confidence, and ability to succeed. Marden draws on his own experiences growing up in poverty, as well as research and case studies, to make his case. He discusses how poverty can lead to feelings of hopelessness, anxiety, and depression, and how these mental health issues can then perpetuate the cycle of poverty. The book also offers practical advice on how to overcome poverty's mental barriers, including developing a positive mindset, setting achievable goals, and seeking out support from others. Marden emphasizes that poverty is not a personal failure, but a systemic issue that requires collective action to address. Overall, ""Why Poverty Is A Mental Disability"" is a compelling read for anyone interested in understanding the complex relationship between poverty and mental health, and how we can work towards a more equitable society.THIS 26 PAGE ARTICLE WAS EXTRACTED FROM THE BOOK: Peace, Power and Plenty, by Orison Swett Marden.
