Book Overview

The Kingdom of the Unselfish: Or The Empire of the Wise is a book written by John Lord Peck in 1889. The book is a philosophical treatise on the concept of unselfishness and its impact on society. Peck argues that unselfishness is the key to creating a harmonious and prosperous society, and that it is the duty of individuals to strive towards this ideal. He explores the idea that selfishness is the root of all social ills, and that by embracing unselfishness, individuals can achieve a higher level of personal fulfillment and contribute to the greater good.

Peck draws on a range of philosophical and religious traditions to support his arguments, and provides practical advice for readers looking to cultivate unselfishness in their own lives.
