Mind and Body by William Walker Atkinson

Description

Mind and Body is a book by William Walker Atkinson, first published in 1910. In this concise work Atkinson examines the mind–body connection, arguing that mental states and emotions exert a direct influence on physical health and that physical conditions in turn feed back on mental life. Written in the plain, practical tone typical of early New Thought writers, the book lays out ideas about mental suggestion, self-healing, and the psychosomatic interplay that preceded much later work in mind–body medicine. Placed among Atkinson’s many popular titles on occult philosophy, personal magnetism and practical psychology, this book blends common-sense observation with metaphysical optimism. It will appeal to readers interested in the history of New Thought, the origins of mental healing and early 20th-century self-help writing focused on the power of thought, habit and will to influence bodily well-being
