Autorenporträt
Russell Herman Conwell (1843-1925) was a distinguished American orator, philanthropist, lawyer, and writer. He is widely known for his captivating a lecture titled 'Acres of Diamonds,' which he delivered over 6,000 times throughout his life, espousing the idea that one need not look elsewhere for opportunity, wealth, and happiness, as they are present in one's own backyard. Conwell's philosophy centered on the belief that success comes to those who are able to identify and utilize the resources at their disposal, which he elaborately expressed in his work 'Every Man His Own University' (Conwell, 1917). In this volume, he argues that real-world experiences are a form of education equivalent to academic study—emphasizing self-culture, observation, and the value of practical knowledge. An advocate of self-improvement, Conwell's ethos revolved around the importance of personal responsibility in the pursuit of success and the development of one's character and abilities. His literary style is educational, inspirational, and motivational, intended to be accessible to the common man. He founded Temple University in Philadelphia, exemplifying his commitment to education and serving as an enduring testament to his educational values and aspirations for the empowerment of individuals through learning. Conwell's enduring legacy resides in his teachings about the potential for personal growth and achievement inherent in each individual, a motif that resonates through his writings and public engagements.
