literature. Readers of a TREDITION CLASSICS book support the
mission to save many of the amazing works of world literature from
oblivion. With this series, tredition intends to make thousands of
international literature classics available in printed format again

Suggestion, or rather Autosuggestion, is quite a new subject, and
yet at the same time it is as old as the world. It is new in the
sense that until now it has been wrongly studied and in consequence
wrongly understood; it is old because it dates from the appearance
of man on the Earth. In fact, autosuggestion is an instrument that
we possess at birth and in this instrument, or rather in this
force, resides a marvellous and incalculable power, which according
to circumstances produces the best or the worst results. Knowledge
of this force is useful to each one of us, but it is peculiarly
indispensable to doctors, magistrates, lawyers, and to those
engaged in the work of education. By knowing how to practice it
consciously it is possible in the first place to avoid provoking in
others bad auto-suggestions which may have disastrous consequences,
and secondly, consciously to provoke good ones instead, thus
bringing physical health to the sick, and moral health to the
neurotic and the erring, the unconscious victims of anterior
autosuggestions, and to guide into the right path those who had a
tendency to take the wrong one.

In Cou 's authoritative book on Self Mastery, you get a work of
real and unique value. After twenty years of scientific
study-experimenting with thousands of persons-Prof. Cou discovered
a fundamental principle of life, and developed a "method" of
controlling life's greatest force. Discover the power of that
method for yourself in this classic self-help work.
Originally published in 1922, Self Mastery Through Conscious
Autosuggestion caused a stir throughout the scientific and
religious communities. mile Cou's assertions that the repetition of
certain phrases, or mantras, can have a positive effect on the
health and happiness of an individual challenged the existing
reliance on chemicals and clergy. However, his theories, which are
laid out in straightforward detail in his work, were solidly based
on his firsthand experiences with patients, including such stalwart
methods as conditioning therapy and the placebo effect. Often
invited to lecture on the subject, he finally was motivated to
commit it to writing by his desire to help people help themselves.
French pharmacist and psychotherapist EMILE COUE (1857-1926)
founded the Lorraine Society of Applied Psychology and was known
across Europe and the U.S. for his theories on the power of
autosuggestion, which was dubbed the "Cou Method" and is still
practiced today.

2010 Reprint of 1923 First Edition. Illustrated. Although commonly
known to the layman as a technique that can affect the physical
world, bring wealth, and even add to one's IQ, autosuggestion is
actually a technique intended to complement the use of medicine. It
was developed by apothecary Emile Coue from the late 1800's to the
early 1900's. In 1932, German psychiatrist Johannes Schultz
developed and published autogenic training, a relaxation technique
influenced by the Coue method. The Coue method centers on a routine
repetition of a particular expression according to a specified
ritual in a given physical state at the beginning and at the end of
each day. Against the belief that a strong conscious will
constitutes the best path to success, Coue maintained that curing
some of our troubles requires a change in our
subconscious/unconscious thought, which can only be achieved by
using our imagination. Although stressing that he was not primarily
a healer but one who taught others to heal themselves, Coue claimed
to have effected organic changes through autosuggestion.
