In Rhonda Byrne's self-help book, The Secret, published in 2006, the theory of the Law of Attraction is presented as a re-discovery of an ancient metaphysical principle, buried in ages of historical neglect. However, nothing could be further from the truth. Exactly a century earlier, prolific New Thought author William Walker Atkinson published Thought Vibration, a succinct but thorough examination of the power of thought and its function in the creation and control of personal circumstances.

In this book, New Thought philosopher James Allen explores various approaches to the concept of fate, or destiny, and its relationship to personal empowerment.

This short tract on the power of thought was the second book written by New Thought author James Allen and was first published in 1903. It has never been out of print and is now considered one of most influential self help texts of all time. The title is taken from a verse in Chapter 23 of the Book of Proverbs: "As a man thinketh in his heart, so is he." Allen's central thesis is that thought is not just a vehicle for comprehending and explaining the world, but is also the prime mechanism for creating and modifing human experience.

Genevieve Behrend was a teacher and exponent of Mental Science, a New Thought discipline created by her mentor, Thomas Troward (1847- 1916). As the only direct student of Troward, the author had a unique insight into the philosophy and methods of her master. Your Invisible Power, published in 1921, is her first and most famous book. It is a guide to the use of visualization and other mental processes in life enhancement and the achievement of personal goals. A new recording of one of the first great self-help classics narrated by Denis Daly.

The secret to success has been around since our ancestors crawled out of their cave, and went looking for a Mastodon for lunch. It’s a positive attitude. But even those with that attitude need a boost now and then, and here’s an hour of great ideas to listen to on that commute, so you will hit the ground running. A story masterfully told by that voice from “Down Under”, Denis Daly.

The Divine Companion was the last work completed by James Allen and was published posthumously in 1919. Of the book, Allen himself wrote: "It is the story of my soul, and should be read last of all my books, so that the student may understand and find my message in its pages. Therefore hold it back until you have published everything else." The book is divided into three sections: The Divine Companion, The Divine Dialogue and The Divine Messages. The first section is an exploration of various aspects of truth.

The Heavenly Life is one of James Allen's lesser-known but most aphoristic works. His basic thesis is that total absorption in the eternal Now is the true path to discovering the divine center within oneself. The past is a dream and the future is just a speculation: man can only act and live in the present. He can change his world only by changing himself.

James Allen consistently taught that personal development was based on the application of certain permanent and unchanging principles. In this book, he examines the various systems—social, political, economic, and technological—that man has developed to enhance and enrich his life experience. His conclusion is that to be effective all systems must operate according to fundamental ethical and moral laws. The effect of the correct application of these spiritual principles will be a state of true peace, free from any taint of passion or conflict.

James Allen (1864 - 1912) was an evangelist for the emerging New Thought movement and wrote over twenty books that explored many aspects of his universalist philosophy. Many of James Allen's prose works contain snippets of verse, which are generally devotional and reflective. A significant number of these poetic excerpts were composed by Allen himself. This collection, which was first published in 1907, contains 37 short poems, illustrative of Allen's idiosyncratic views of the spiritual path and the personal search for truth.

Addiction is a difficult and painful road, and to love an addict is to try and maneuver that road without ever having learned how to drive. For the codependent, loving an addict is going 100 miles an hour without a seatbelt. As loved ones of addicts, the more we can understand addiction and codependency and how the two impact each other in personal relationships, the better able we will be to recognize what we need to do, both for ourselves and for the addicts in our lives.

This self-help treatise by prominent New Thought author Christian D. Larson explores the accumulation and preservation of personal power, an essential ingredient in success. Larson defines this management of power as poise, an attitude that prevents the unnecessary loss of vital force. The title page bears the following epigraph: "A genius is slumbering in the subconscious of every mind. This genius can be awakened."

A prominent focus of the works of New Thought author Christian Larson (1874-1954) was the cultivation of positive mental states for the attainment of success and happiness. In this short treatise, he analyzes some common mental maladies and gives suggestions for their treatment.

In this short treatise, New Thought author Christian Larson discusses the power of the subconscious mind and the importance of establishing a working relationship with it. In the words of the author: "What is produced in the within will invariably come forth into expression in the personality; therefore, by knowing how to impress the subconscious, man may give his personal self any quality desired, and in any quantity desired."

In James Allen's view, the man was indeed perfectible. However, he considered the path to perfection to be an interior one that is driven by the purification and elevation of the thought process.
