How to Heal Oneself and Others (Annotated)
Enriched Edition. Mental Healing, Mind-Body Wisdom, Affirmations, and New Thought Practices for Spiritual Self-CareBy William Walker Atkinson
Length6h 55m
About this audiobook
How to Heal Oneself and Others presents a practical system of mental and spiritual therapeutics rooted in the New Thought conviction that disciplined consciousness can influence bodily well-being and human conduct. Atkinson explains healing through focused thought, suggestion, affirmation, visualization, and the cultivation of inner poise, extending these methods from self-care to compassionate assistance of others. Its instructional organization, direct imperatives, and confident, accessible prose place it between the esoteric manual and the popular psychological guide. Rather than offering a clinical treatise, the book belongs to the early twentieth-century literature of metaphysical healing, where spiritual aspiration, emerging ideas about mind-power, and individualized religious practice converge. William Walker Atkinson (1862–1932) was a prolific American author, editor, and central popularizer of New Thought. Writing under his own name and several pseudonyms, he translated occult, yogic, and metaphysical concepts into systematic lessons for a broad readership. His professional and personal engagement with business, law, journalism, and spiritual movements helped shape his sustained interest in self-mastery, therapeutic suggestion, and the practical application of mental discipline. This work reflects his larger project: presenting inward development as both a personal responsibility and a means of ethical service. Readers interested in New Thought, the history of mind-cure movements, spiritual self-help, or the cultural prehistory of positive psychology will find this book especially rewarding. It should be read critically as a historical document, yet its emphasis on attention, resilience, and benevolent intention remains intellectually suggestive and personally engaging.
