The power of positive thinking. It is an idea deeply rooted in
American culture, from Oprah to The Secret to the mass-media
ministries of Joel Osteen and T.D. Jakes. Yet no one has examined
how this one simple idea to think positively has morphed from
metaphysics into mass belief. In One Simple Idea, Mitch Horowitz
tracks the history of the positive-thinking movement from its
pioneers to its most dramatic personalities, including Dale
Carnegie and Norman Vincent Peale. Positive thinking has been the
root of studies on the placebo effect, the 12-step approach to
overcoming addition, and the mind-body connection in treating
illness. And it is central to the American idea of success, as seen
in political messages like Ronald Reagan's "Nothing is impossible"
or President Obama's "Yes, we can" and slogans such as the U.S.
Army's "Be all you can be" and Nike's "Just do it." This paperback
edition includes new exercises and methods, which readers can use
to test the validity of positive-mind mechanics in their daily
lives. One Simple Idea answers the age-old question Does it work?
and shows that, yes, positive thinking can change the world.
First released in 1901, Thought-Forms was an in-depth exploration
on the visual manifestations of thoughts and the notion that they
exist as objects. Conceived by renowned theosophists Annie Besant
and C.W. Leadbeater, the book consists of 58 illustrations based on
Besant and Leadbeater's clairvoyant observations on how music,
emotions, experiences, and colors affect thought forms. Expanding
beyond its original readership, the book would have great influence
on twentieth-century art and go on to inspire many artists
including Wassily Kandinsky, Hilma af Klint, Piet Mondrian, and
Paul Klee. This updated edition features a new introduction by
famed occult author, Mitch Horowitz.
