The Mind Cure by Christian D. Larson

Description

The Mind Cure is a book by Christian D. Larson, first published in 1912. It presents a compact, practical guide to mental healing and self-management, offering exercises and methods intended to cure nervousness, despondency and other forms of mental distress by training the imagination and thought life. The text reads like an early self-help manual rooted in the New Thought tradition: clear, directive chapters that teach visualization, affirmation, concentration and deliberate mental habits aimed at improving mental wellness, resilience and “mind power.” Larson — a prolific New Thought author and teacher — wrote from a worldview that values disciplined thinking as the foundation of health, success and calm. The Mind Cure influenced later positive-thinking and mental-wellness writings and sits alongside other early 20th-century works on applied metaphysics and mental healing; its advice still appeals to readers looking for vintage self-help and practical exercises for stress relief, concentration and personal development. While some language and assumptions are dated, the book’s short, exercise-focused approach makes it useful as both a historical glimpse into New Thought and a hands-on pocket manual for cultivating positive thinking and emotional balance.
