Thought-Force in Business and Everyday Life

About this book

A successful salesman must persuade before a customer has decided to listen. William Walker Atkinson thinks the same problem reaches through almost every human exchange and assigns thought a supposed power of influence.

Thought-Force in Business and Everyday Life blends advice on confidence, attention and personal conduct with the New Thought theory of mental force. Practical social observations sit beside claims that cannot be established by evidence. The book belongs to the early history of self-help, when arguments about success increasingly borrowed the language of hidden energies. It treats an ordinary conversation as a potential experiment in will.
