Respectability: Its Rise and Remedy is a book written by Fra Elbert Hubbard that explores the concept of respectability and its impact on society. The book argues that respectability is a social construct that is often used to maintain the status quo and suppress individuality. Hubbard suggests that respectability is a form of conformity that limits creativity and personal growth. The book is divided into several chapters that examine different aspects of respectability, including its history, its effects on individuals and society, and the ways in which it can be challenged and overcome. Hubbard draws on a wide range of sources, including literature, philosophy, and personal experience, to make his case.Throughout the book, Hubbard advocates for a more authentic and individualistic approach to life, one that values creativity, self-expression, and personal growth over conformity and social approval. He argues that by embracing our true selves and rejecting the constraints of respectability, we can lead more fulfilling and meaningful lives.Overall, Respectability: Its Rise and Remedy is a thought-provoking and insightful book that challenges readers to rethink their assumptions about respectability and the role it plays in their lives. It is a must-read for anyone interested in personal growth, individuality, and social change.1905. This little volume was written on board railroad trains, on a lecture tour, barnstorming the one-night stands. The object of its writing was the delectation and divertisement of the author. The two works that inspired the venture were �������A Theory of the Leisure Class,������� by Professor Veblen and �������News from Nowhere,������� by William Morris. The object of the book has been fully realized, and if it serves to set up a small celebration in the minds of others, it will serve a double purpose and make the writer twice as glad.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations. Because we believe this work is culturally important, we have made it available as part of our commitment for protecting, preserving, and promoting the world's literature in affordable, high quality, modern editions, that are true to their original work.
