Samuel Smiles

Published in 1875, 'Thrift' by Samuel Smiles serves as a sequel to his earlier works 'Self-Help' and 'Character'. The book emphasizes the importance of using one's resources wisely and avoiding wasteful indulgences. Smiles addresses various societal challenges such as idleness and vanity, advocating for a disciplined approach to personal finance and moral character. While some advice may seem outdated, the core principles of thriftiness and self-improvement remain relevant.
