所謂的焦慮可以說是－一個人意識他完美的狀況正處於危險或受到威脅時所作的反應。而緊張是程度較輕的慢性焦慮；過度焦慮是精神病的主要癥狀之一。

其實焦慮和疼痛一樣，也有好的、必要的一面，它可以時時警惕我們，使我們隨機應變。也就是說，焦慮只有過度時才會發生問題。微量的焦慮，反而可以使我們淋漓盡致的發揮潛力。

本書中馬登的一生都是積極向上的，他不但獲得了財富和成功，而且將其傳播出去，本書點亮了數以億計年輕人的生命。當代成功學家諾曼‧文森特‧皮爾說︰“我讀過馬登的所有著作，是他促使我發展了‘積極思考’的人生哲學。”

奧里森‧馬登（1848—1924），美國成功學的奠基人，全世界影響最大的勵志導師之一。

20世紀30年代，林語堂親自將馬登的部分作品譯成中文，結集為《成功之路》在國內出版。林語堂在前言中寫道︰“對於時代青年所經驗到的煩悶、消極等等滋味，譯者未曾錯過。自讀馬氏的原書後，精神為之大振，人生觀念為之一變，煩悶、消極、悲觀、頹唐的妖霧陰霾，已經驅除盡淨。……謹將此書介紹給同病的青年，希望他們從中獲得（與我）同樣的興奮與影響。”

馬登的一生，是追求財富、成功和自我完善的歷程，也是將所思所得凝聚成文字、造福他人的歷程。馬登去世後，上千個家庭給子女起名為“馬登”，以表達對這位奮鬥者的崇敬和對子女的期望。
