| Summary |
"Dollars and Sense" by William Crosbie Hunter is a self-help guide focused on practical business advice, likely written in the early 20th century. The work is designed for both employers and employees, offering insights on achieving success in various aspects of life, including business and personal happiness. It emphasizes the importance of hard work, character, and practical wisdom, arguing that achieving both financial success and personal happiness requires real effort and understanding. The beginning of the book sets the tone for Hunter's practical advice, introducing themes that will recur throughout the chapters, such as the necessity of mutual benefit between employers and employees. He uses the metaphor of cutting a melon to illustrate human relationships—people often come seeking rewards without contributing effort first. The author stresses the significance of saying "no" to distractions, making sound financial decisions, and maintaining personal integrity. He positions his experiences and lessons as valuable insights for those looking to navigate the complexities of business and life, promising readers that the principles outlined will lead to increased happiness and personal growth.
