Long before the blockbuster 2006 movie and bestselling book "The Secret" by Rhonda Byrne, and long before Esther and Jerry Hicks' "Law of Attraction," there was this seminal work of American practical spirituality by William Walker Atkinson. The text of this updated edition has been edited into gender neutral language in recognition of the author's desire to bring the insights of New Thought spirituality to all people. Gender neutral language is a subtle but important way to promote equality, and equality is at the core of Atkinson's thinking. This new, gender neutral edition will bring Atkinson's insights to a new generation of readers in need of these timeless insights.
