Produktbeschreibung

Suggestion and Auto-Suggestion by William Walker Atkinson explores the powerful impact of mental suggestions and self-suggestions on the human mind and body. Atkinson explains how suggestions-whether consciously given or subconsciously received-can influence one's thoughts, emotions, and behaviors, shaping the course of one's life. The book introduces the concept of auto-suggestion, which is the practice of consciously influencing one's mind through repeated affirmations and positive thought patterns. By understanding the subconscious mind's susceptibility to suggestion, Atkinson guides readers on how to harness the power of auto-suggestion to overcome negative habits, boost confidence, and improve overall well-being. He emphasizes the importance of focused thought and concentration to create lasting changes in personal behavior, believing that the mind can be trained to achieve specific goals. Atkinson draws upon principles from psychology, philosophy, and personal development to explain how individuals can use suggestion and auto-suggestion to manifest desired outcomes, enhance mental strength, and unlock their full potential. This book serves as a practical guide for anyone seeking to cultivate a positive mindset and achieve personal transformation through the power of the mind.

Autorenporträt

William Walker Atkinson (December 5, 1862 - November 22, 1932) was an attorney, merchant, publisher, and author, as well as an occultist and an American pioneer of the New Thought movement. He is the author of the pseudonymous works attributed to Theron Q. Dumont and Yogi Ramacharaka.[1] He wrote an estimated 100 books, all in the last 30 years of his life. He was mentioned in past editions of Who's Who in America, in Religious Leaders of America, and in several similar publications. His works have remained in print more or less continuously since 1900. William Walker Atkinson was born in Baltimore, Maryland on December 5, 1862,[4] to Emma and William Atkinson. He began his working life as a grocer at 15 years old, probably helping his father. He married Margret Foster Black of Beverly, New Jersey, in October 1889, and they had two children. Their first child probably died young. The second later married and had two daughters. Atkinson pursued a business career from 1882 onwards and in 1894 he was admitted as an attorney to the Bar of Pennsylvania. While he gained much material success in his profession as a lawyer, the stress and over-strain eventually took its toll, and during this time he experienced a complete physical and mental breakdown, and financial disaster. He looked for healing and in the late 1880s he found it with New Thought, later attributing the restoration of his health, mental vigor and material prosperity to the application of the principles of New Thought. Some time after his healing, Atkinson began to write articles on the truths he felt he had discovered, which were then known as Mental Science. In 1889, an article by him entitled "A Mental Science Catechism," appeared in Charles Fillmore's new periodical, Modern Thought. By the early 1890s Chicago had become a major centre for New Thought, mainly through the work of Emma Curtis Hopkins, and Atkinson decided to move there. Once in the city, he became an active promoter of the movement as an editor and author. He was responsible for publishing the magazines Suggestion (1900-1901), New Thought (1901-1905) and Advanced Thought (1906-1916). In 1900 Atkinson worked as an associate editor of Suggestion, a New Thought Journal, and wrote his probable first book, Thought-Force in Business and Everyday Life, being a series of lessons in personal magnetism, psychic influence, thought-force, concentration, will-power, and practical mental science.
