《自己拯救自己:斯迈尔斯成功学大全集(超值金版)》最初的创作,只是为了配合斯迈尔斯的演讲。1856年前后,斯迈尔斯经常到利兹市去作演讲,对象是一群困苦无助的年轻人。讲座地点是个简陋、空旷的大房子,本来是用于治疗霍乱的临时病房。在演讲中,斯迈尔斯尽力让这群迷茫的年轻人明白:人生的幸福在很大程度上靠的是自身的努力,比如勤奋、学习、自律和自制;更为基础的是,必须培养正直、诚实的品质,并严格履行自己的职责。这些演讲的效果之好,远远超出了斯迈尔斯的预期。于是,他开始将演讲的内容整理成文字按照斯迈尔斯自己的说法,"毕竟,书籍要比口头语言流传更广"。他把书名定为《自己拯救自己:斯迈尔斯成功学大全集(超值金版)》,他觉得,"再也没有比这一名称更切合主题的了"。
