Eight Pillars of Prosperity is a life changing book by James Allen. Through this book, he explains his belief that the moral virtues are the foundation and support of prosperity. Without them there is neither strength and stability, nor substantial reality, but only ephemeral dreams. The prosperity is supported by the following eight pillars which are cemented in a foundation of moral consistency: Energy, Economy, Integrity, System, Sympathy, Sincerity, Impartiality, and Self-reliance. These eight pillars, in greater or lesser degree, are the causative factors in all success of whatsoever kind.
