Thought Power: Its Control and Culture

About this book

Most people discover how unruly the mind is when they try to hold one idea still. Annie Besant begins from that practical difficulty and develops a programme for mental discipline.

Thought Power: Its Control and Culture examines concentration, the nature of thought and the effort to replace unhelpful habits with purposeful attention. Her explanations are framed by Theosophical theories about mental matter and unseen planes. The book combines instructions for self-culture with a historical belief system, showing how a familiar problem of attention became part of a much larger spiritual picture.
