Charles F. Haanel (1866-1949) was an
American author, businessman, and self-help guru. He is best known for his book
"The Master Key System", which he published in 1912. The book is a
personal development and self-help guide that outlines a 24-week program for
achieving success and happiness. It has been cited as a major influence by many
prominent self-help authors, including Napoleon Hill, Dale Carnegie, and Rhonda
Byrne.
Haanel was born in Ann Arbor, Michigan, and
began his career in business as a clerk for a hardware company. He later became
a successful entrepreneur, founding several companies and amassing a fortune
through real estate investments.
In addition to "The Master Key
System", Haanel wrote several other books on personal development, including
"The New Psychology" and "Mental Chemistry". He also
founded the Master Key Institute, which offered courses and seminars on
personal success and self-improvement.
Haanel's teachings emphasized the power of
positive thinking and visualization, and his ideas influenced many later
self-help gurus and motivational speakers. His work continues to be widely read
and studied today.
