Thoughts are Things (Annotated)
Enriched Edition. New Thought Essays on Mind Power, Metaphysical Healing, Positive Thinking, and the Creative Force of ThoughtBy Prentice Mulford
Length6h 7m
About this audiobook
Thoughts Are Things is a foundational work of New Thought literature, arguing that mental states possess formative power over health, character, circumstance, and spiritual development. Composed in lucid, aphoristic prose, the book blends practical counsel, metaphysical speculation, and moral exhortation. Mulford's style is conversational yet visionary, placing him within the late nineteenth-century American tradition of self-culture, spiritual individualism, and mind-cure philosophy. Prentice Mulford was an American writer, journalist, and lecturer whose varied life included years as a sailor, miner, humorist, and California newspaper columnist. His wide experience of hardship, ambition, and social change helped shape his conviction that human beings participate actively in the making of their lives through thought, imagination, and will. As a key precursor to later self-help and positive-thinking movements, Mulford wrote from both personal observation and a broader culture increasingly fascinated by psychology, healing, and unseen forces. This book is recommended for readers interested in the origins of modern motivational thought, spiritual psychology, or American metaphysical religion. While some claims reflect its historical moment, its central insistence on disciplined attention, hopeful imagination, and inner responsibility remains provocative and influential. It is best read as both a period document and an enduring meditation on the creative possibilities of mind.
