About this audiobook

How to Live Life and Love It is a concise work of New Thought practical philosophy, concerned with the disciplined use of thought, feeling, and imagination in shaping experience. Written in an instructive, earnest, and aphoristic style, it belongs to the early twentieth-century literature of mental science, where spiritual idealism, self-culture, and practical psychology meet. Behrend presents life not as a burden to be endured, but as a field for conscious participation, governed by inner attitude and creative belief. Geneviève Behrend was among the most influential interpreters of Thomas Troward, the British judge and metaphysical thinker whose Edinburgh Lectures became foundational for New Thought. As Troward's noted student, she absorbed his emphasis on the creative power of mind and translated it into a more accessible, personal, and motivational form. Her writings reflect both metaphysical conviction and a pedagogical desire to make abstract principles usable in everyday life. This book is recommended for readers interested in New Thought, self-mastery, and the historical roots of modern positive-thinking literature. It will especially appeal to those who value spiritually inflected guidance that is practical rather than merely theoretical. Brief yet purposeful, it offers a window into a formative tradition of American metaphysical self-help.
