The Law of the New Thought

About this book

If a thought can change the way a person acts, how far might that influence extend? William Walker Atkinson takes this question into the confident territory of New Thought philosophy.

He argues that mental attitudes, habit and focused attention can shape personal experience, combining practical advice with expansive claims about the power of consciousness. Some promises exceed available evidence, but the book helps explain why self-culture and mental discipline became such influential themes in modern spiritual literature. Its appeal is rooted in the ordinary hope that a life can be changed from within.
