A History Of The New Thought Movement - Paperback

""A History of the New Thought Movement"" is a comprehensive exploration of the origins and evolution of the New Thought movement, written by Horatio W. Dresser. The New Thought movement emerged in the late 19th century as a spiritual and philosophical movement that emphasized the power of positive thinking and the ability of individuals to shape their own destinies through their thoughts and beliefs. Dresser traces the roots of the movement back to the teachings of figures such as Ralph Waldo Emerson and Phineas Quimby, and explores the contributions of key figures such as Mary Baker Eddy, Emma Curtis Hopkins, and Thomas Troward. He also examines the various branches of the movement, including Christian Science, Unity, and Religious Science, and highlights the ways in which the movement has influenced contemporary spiritual and self-help movements.Throughout the book, Dresser provides in-depth analysis of the key ideas and practices of the New Thought movement, including the role of affirmations and visualization, the importance of spiritual healing, and the concept of the law of attraction. He also explores the ways in which the movement has intersected with other cultural and social movements, such as the feminist movement and the New Age movement.Overall, ""A History of the New Thought Movement"" offers a fascinating and insightful look at one of the most influential spiritual movements of the modern era, and provides valuable context for understanding the ongoing impact of New Thought ideas and practices on contemporary spirituality and self-help.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
