Comprehensive overview of the basics of psychology--with some practical tips for self improvement. The content is overall a little dated. For example, the advice on cultivating good habits seems amusingly uninformed given the vast body of work that's been done on how to form and maintain good habits since Atkinson wrote his manual. But the breadth still makes this title a good starter for folks wanting to better understand how their minds work and perhaps gain a foundation that will help ground newer research in everything from management psychology to behavioral economics.

William Walker Atkinson, born in 1862, was an influential American author and philosopher known for his extensive writings on yoga, mysticism, and Eastern philosophy. He is the author of the pseudonymous works attributed to Theron Q. Dumont and Yogi Ramacharaka. A prominent figure in the New Thought movement, Atkinson authored numerous works exploring the principles of spiritual growth and self-realization. His writings often focus on practical applications of Eastern spiritual practices, particularly in the context of Western thought. Atkinson's most notable works include - A Series of Lessons in Gnani Yoga: The Yoga of Wisdom, where he delves into the philosophy of Gnani Yoga, emphasizing self-awareness, consciousness, and personal development. His approach combines insights from Indian spirituality with Western understanding, aiming to provide readers with tools for achieving enlightenment and inner peace. In addition to his work on yoga, Atkinson wrote extensively on subjects like mental science, self-help, and occultism. His contributions to spiritual literature have influenced many seeking to integrate Eastern philosophies into their lives. Atkinson's legacy endures through his writings, which continue to inspire those on a journey toward self-discovery and spiritual fulfillment.
