Are you a mental slave, your mind the servant of outside forces? Would you rather be a mental master, your thoughts taking charge not only of mind and body, but destiny? Theron Q. Dumont, a pioneer of the early 20th century's New Thought movement, here gives practical, step-by-step instruction on mastering control of not only the conscious mind but, more importantly, "those marvelous faculties which operate on the subconscious planes." This is a how-to book for any person-of any era-ready to take charge of his or her life. THERON Q. DUMONT is an alias and pen name of American writer WILLIAM WALKER ATKINSON (1862-1932), editor of the popular magazine New Thought from 1901 to 1905, and editor of the journal Advanced Thought from 1916 to 1919. He authored dozens of New Thought books under numerous pseudonyms, including "Yogi," some of which are likely still unknown today.

In this outstanding book, we find demonstrated various intricate and advanced thought processes, and discover how to employ them in order to achieve The Master Mind. For the author, individuals are split into two categories. Firstly, there are those who possess normal, sub-optimal minds; this group comprises the vast majority of humanity. The second group are those who, whether through conscious effort of will, self-belief, mindfulness or otherwise have achieved a higher, self-actualized state; those with a 'Master Mind'. Through sheer conscious will, and careful tending over a span of months and years, such a mind can be cultivated. This practical and instructive text tells us how to properly make use of our mental faculties, that we may increase our mental efficiency and thereby achieve goals in life. Such success may be simply intellectual; the desire to learn and recall knowledge as a good unto itself. It may be related to lifestyle; an outlook required to succeed in life and career.

Within, he covers how to develop mental and physical power, how to develop magnetism and its affects, how to avoid unwanted or hurtful attraction, and how to use personal magnetism to approach and encourage love and marriage.

Followers of the New Thought movement of the early 20th century vehemently believed in the concept of "mind over matter," none moreso than William Walker Atkinson. In 1918, writing under the name Theron Q. Dumont, Atkinson argued that the nerves and ganglia of the solar plexus form a separate, "instinctive mind" that energizes and regulates the body's organs and emotions. Mixing Eastern ideas with Western pragmatism, Atkinson provides a series of breathing and mental exercises that link the "thinking mind" with the "abdominal brain" to help both control emotions and improve physical wellbeing. With an emphasis on practice over theory, this slim, absorbing work seems right at home in an era of holistic and alternative medicines. THERON Q.

Does character determine appearance? Can the shape of a person's face-or the bumps on his head-provide insight into intelligence and personality? What effect, ultimately, do our thoughts and attitudes and personality have on how we look? It's a question that artists and scientists (and dictators) have grappled with for ages, and one that can lead down increasingly slippery slopes. But in pre-Freudian, pre-Holocaust America, when phrenology was still semi-respectable, New Thought pioneer William Walker Atkinson (writing as Theron Q. Dumont) wrote what he hoped would be the ultimate guide to the Science of Character Reading. Today some of his findings must be taken with a grain of salt, but this 1919 guide is a fascinating catalogue-replete with drawings and diagrams-of the many temperaments, characteristics, faces and expressions of that remarkably complex species known as the human race.

Before "New Age" there was "New Thought," a philosophy that sought God through metaphysics and was wildly popular in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. As perhaps the movement's most vocal proponent, William Walker Atkinson-here writing as Theron Q. Dumont-believed above all in the power of the mind, especially as it affected the body's ability to heal. Elaborating on the idea that the corporeal mind, made up of a body's cells and organs, is subject to mental suggestion, Dumont provides detailed lessons on how to use thought to promote the body's natural healing abilities. Unlike many occult- or religion-based approaches, the author gives equal attention to the biological processes and functions of the body, something he believed to be crucial to proper visualization. More than just an entertaining time capsule, Mental Therapeutics is a set of principles and healing techniques that can easily coexist alongside today's medical advances. THERON Q.
