A propos du livre

Biographie de l'auteur

Born in Maryland in 1862, he began working life at 15 in his parent’s grocery store. He married at age 27, and became an attorney in Pennsylvania. While he gained material success as a lawyer, the stress and over-strain brought him to a complete physical and mental breakdown that ended in a financial disaster. He looked for healing and in the late 1880’s he found the principles of New Thought, and in applying them he restored his health, mental vigor and material prosperity. Atkinson then began to write articles on the truths he felt he had discovered. His “A Mental Science Catechism,” appeared in Charles Fillmore's ‘Modern Thought’ in 1889. By the early 1890’s Atkinson moved to Chicago, then a major centre for New Thought, and became an active promoter of the movement as an editor and author. In 1900 he wrote his first book, Thought-Force in Business and Everyday Life, a series of lessons in personal magnetism, psychic influence, thought-force, concentration, will-power, and practical mental science. Soon after he met Sydney Flower, a well-known New Thought publisher and businessman, and in December 1901 he became editor of Flower's popular New Thought magazine (until 1905), and a very prolific writer of dozens of well appreciated articles in the magazine; and later on, he was a regular contributor to Elizabeth Towne’s Magazine, Nautilus. Throughout his subsequent career, Atkinson wrote and published over 100 different books, some under his own name and many under pseudonyms such as Yogi Ramacharaka, Theron Q. Dumont, Theodore Sheldon, Magus Incognito, Edward Walker, Three Initiates and Swami Bhakta Vishita. Among the first to develop the concept of Law of Attraction, Atkinson is considered, together with Orison Swett Marden and Wallace Wattles, the masters of self-development and positive thinking, and the real promoters of New Thought, a movement that came very much to life again with the Millennium He died November 22, 1932 in Los Angeles, California at the age of 69, after 50 years of successful career in business, writing, occultism, and the law, and a life surrounded by mysteries, including his own death.

Présentation de l'éditeur

This is one of the greatest books on the subject ever written. The clarity of the ideas, and the fact that they are so believable and make so much sense, make the reader question, Who really was this William Walker Atkinson? Through over 10 aliases he wrote over 100 books, all so deep and so incredibly full of the wisdom of the ages, that it really rises many eyebrows as to his real "mission" in this life. The book gives us one of the most detailed and appealing descriptions of what could happen after we "die" to this physical life, and the transformations that follow that moment that we fear so much (and we really shouldn't!). A book of enlightenment, reflection and peace.
