About this title

Synopsis

"New Thought" adherents at the turn of the 20th century vehemently believed in the concept of "mind over matter," and one of the most influential thinkers of this early "New Age" philosophy offers here, in this curious 1908 work, his insight into that extraordinary ability we all have deep within our minds: the power of Mental Influence. You'll learn about: • the vibratory force of Thought-Waves • the invisible ether than transmits Mental Influence • the first thing occult authorities teach their pupils • the alluring sway of Fascination • and more. American writer WILLIAM WALKER ATKINSON (1862-1932) was editor of the popular magazine New Thought from 1901 to 1905 and editor of the journal Advanced Thought from 1916 to 1919. He authored dozens of New Thought books under numerous pseudonyms, including the name "Yogi," some of which are likely still unknown today.

About the Author

William Walker Atkinson (December 5, 1862 – November 22, 1932) was an attorney, merchant, publisher, and author, as well as an occultist and an American pioneer of the New Thought movement. He is also thought to be the author of the pseudonymous works attributed to Theron Q. Dumont and Yogi Ramacharaka.

He is the author of an estimated 100 books, all written in the last 30 years of his life. He was also mentioned in past editions of Who's Who in America, Religious Leaders of America, and several similar publications. His works have remained in print more or less continuously since 1900.

Stress and strain connected to his profession destroyed his health. He used this same mental science to heal himself. Then he started writing about the power of mind and how it could be directed to succeeed and get what one wants.

n 1900 Atkinson worked as an associate editor of Suggestion, a New Thought Journal, and wrote his probable first book, Thought-Force in Business and Everyday Life, being a series of lessons in personal magnetism, psychic influence, thought-force, concentration, will-power, and practical mental science.
