Produktbeschreibung
Prentice Mulford was once described as a thinking man, not a reading man. His insights into the mysteries surrounding humanity derived from firsthand thought and experience, not from books. On such age-old topics as the power of the mind, buried talent, the necessity of recreation, and cultivating repose (all found in this collection), Mulford's attempts to understand our transcendental and physical natures were intuitive and sympathetic, not ordered and logical. This very human quality, along with an unrelenting optimism and faith in man's goodness, lend a freshness and vitality to his work that transcend era. This is self-help for the soul, mind, and body. American author PRENTICE MULFORD (1834-1891) is one of the oddest fixtures of 19th-century literature. After moving for years in the literary and Bohemian sets of San Francisco in the 1860s as a writer of humorous short stories, he lived as a hermit in New Jersey, where he wrote the books of modern spirituality that made him a pioneer of modern self-help philosophies, including Thoughts Are Things and The God in You.

Autorenporträt
Prentice Mulford was an American author and comedian. He was born on April 5, 1834, and died around May 30, 1891. He was also a key figure in the creation of the New Thought movement's ideas. Many of the ideas that would become standard in the movement, like the Law of Attraction, were fully explained in his book Your Forces and How to Use Them, which came out as a series of essays between 1886 and 1892. Along with other well-known writers, Mulford also helped start the popular theory known as "New Thought." Mulford's book Thoughts are Things helped explain this new way of thinking, and people still read it today. On May 30, 1891, his body was found floating in a boat in Sheepshead Bay, Brooklyn. It had been there for a few days. On May 30, 1891, his body was found floating in a boat in Sheepshead Bay, Brooklyn. It had been there for a few days.
