Followers of the New Thought movement of the early 20th century vehemently believed in the concept of "mind over matter," and one of the most influential thinkers of this early "New Age" philosophy introduces us in this 1907 book to the basics of hypnotism... and to using its power to influence those around you. Here, in this "side light" to Atkinson's popular book The Secret of Mental Magic, discover: . mental fascination among animals . the rationale of fascination . experimental fascination . the phenomena of induced imagination . the dangers of psychism . Oriental fascination . and much 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, some of which are likely still unknown today, including "Yogi Ramacharaka" and "Theron Q. Dumont."

Autor

William Walker Atkinson (5 December 1862-22 November 1932) was a multifaceted figure-an attorney, businessman, publisher, and prolific writer-who played a significant role in the early New Thought movement. Beyond his legal and commercial endeavours, he was deeply involved in occult studies and esoteric philosophy. Atkinson is believed to be the mind behind numerous works published under various pseudonyms, including Theron Q. Dumont, Swami Panchadasi, and Yogi Ramacharaka, among others. His penchant for anonymity and extensive use of pen names have contributed to his relative obscurity today, despite his recognition in past editions of Who's Who in America, Religious Leaders of America, and other reference works. Over the last three decades of his life, he authored more than 100 books, many of which have remained in circulation since the early 20th century.
