The secret of eternal youth can not be found through a study of the body alone, nor the mind alone; it does not have its sole existence in the elements of the earth, nor does it exercise its power exclusively through those forces of nature that can not be seen. When we learn to perpetuate youth, we add immeasurably to the joy of living, and since man is made for happiness, everything that can increase his happiness should be made a part of his life.

The first-ever collection of writings by Christian D. Larson, author of the famous "Optimist Creed" and one of the twentieth-century's pioneers of motivational thought.
Contemporary research has shown that optimistic people experience longer and healthier lives, better relationships, and higher incomes. Generations before such findings, however, inspirational writer Christian D. Larson showed an amazing grasp of the life-changing power of gratitude and optimism. Today, Larson is known worldwide for his powerful meditation, "The Optimist Creed," and other classics of spiritual living.
But no single volume has collected his greatest writings. Here, at last, is a long-overdue anthology that makes Larson's foundational writings available to the countless readers who already know his name and work.
Like no one else of his day, Larson understood the metaphysical and psychological dimensions of grateful living - or, as he famously put it, "an attitude of gratitude." Affirmative thought, Larson reasoned, sets in motion unseen forces, both spiritual and psychical, and aids in manifesting our desires.
"
The Optimist Creed" features complete editions of Larson's most deeply affecting works, each redesigned and reset. It contains: "The Pathway of Roses"; "Your Forces and How to Use Them" (the work that features his original "Optimist Creed"); "Mastery of Self"; "The Ideal Made Real"; and "Just Be Glad."

1908. The mind of man is conscious and subconscious, objective and subjective, external and internal. Everything that is expressed through the personality was first impressed upon the subconscious, and since the conscious mind may impress anything upon the subconscious, any desired expression may be secured, because the subconscious will invariably do what it is directed and impressed to do.
