William Walker Atkinson (1862–1932) was a prolific author, lawyer, and one of the most influential figures in the New Thought movement. He wrote under several pseudonyms and contributed extensively to self-help, metaphysical, and personal development literature. Atkinson’s work focused on unlocking the potential of the mind to achieve success, health, and prosperity.
His most famous works, such as The Secrets of Mental Magic, Thought-Force in Business and Everyday Life (coming soon), Mind and Body (coming soon) and Personal Power, introduced readers to the concepts of mentalism, the law of attraction, and the power of concentrated thought. Atkinson believed that individuals could harness the power of their mind to shape their reality and create lasting change.
Atkinson’s teachings also explored the deeper aspects of the subconscious mind and its influence on behavior. His works on mental magic and personal power have had a lasting impact on both the New Thought movement and modern self-help practices. His principles of visualization, mental discipline, and focused intention continue to be popular among those seeking personal growth and transformation.
