Is it possible that the cures for all that ail us can be found within ourselves? The adherents of New Thought thinking of the late 19th century-an early New Age movement-believed so, and in this classic book, first published in 1905, an influential New Thought voice details her own experiences with self-healing. In cheerful, friendly language, she explains how she discovered that how her conscious decisions to think and feel a certain way led to those thoughts and feelings coming to pass, and how by acting as if led to the actualization of all she desired. This is a provocative and inspiring work that continues to have a powerful impact on readers today, more than a century after it was written. American writer and editor ELIZABETH TOWNE (b.1865) founded Nautilus, the premiere magazine of the New Thought movement. She is also the author of Joy Philosophy (1903), Happiness and Marriage (1904), and Lessons in Living (1910).
