The Power of Thought in Business and Everyday Life (translated)
William Walker Atkinson
Ratgeber / Esoterik
Beschreibung
The book was published in 1900, and Atkinson, founder of “New Thought” seems to have influenced many minds since then, including the currents of positive thinking and the like, not least all the various “motivators” and “influencers.”His lessons in this book, which is deliberately practical and not theoretical, are aimed at increasing one's Personal Magnetism, one's Strength-Thinking.But while the ability to influence minds can be tempting, from a materialist point of view, to attain wealth and success, Atkinson, while stating that he is not trying to make any morals, warns: the law of compensation (or also the law of karma, or of action and reaction) will inevitably, to those who send thoughts of hatred and fear, return those same thoughts, with interest, and not in a future life, but in this one. Moreover, the same exercises that help aspirants to success and enhance their own magnetism also help potential “influenceable men” to strengthen their own, and thus avoid being controlled.
