Working under an array of pseudonyms and pen names, author and thinker William Walker Atkinson produced a prodigious body of influential work during his lifetime. Among other accomplishments, Atkinson is credited with developing the "e;New Thought"e; movement that has come back into vogue in recent years with the publication of The Secret. In this volume, Atkinson makes a compelling case for the need for rational thought and reasoning, and sets forth guidelines and examples to help readers incorporate these principles into their lives.
