Samuel Smiles sought to inspire readers with accounts of successful people and their conduct, which he believed could motivate others to self-educate and independently reach the pinnacles of human achievement.

Writing in 1866, Smiles includes examples from across the different sectors and disciplines of society. Industry and manufacturer, artistic expression, scientific discovery, and leadership are examined as different facets of attainment. Drawing on the example set by various individuals, we are shown how through wit and grit that fortunes were made and persons reached greatness. The author was of the opinion that laws and regulations around human attainment were unnecessary: rather a society should seek to maximize the amount of self-helping, self-teaching individuals.
