I just finished reading this book and wished I had read this 30 years ago. It is a wonderful book full of inspirational guidance on how to develope a mindset of abundance, happiness and sucess and go through life without carry baggage like resentment, worry, hatred, etc. It is the perfect gift for anyone of any age.

This attractively presented edition is a re-issue of an early example of a self-help book by Florence Scovel Shinn (1871-1940) who was a pioneer of the New Thought movement. It is a timely reminder of how negative thought, so abundant in our modern world, can become engrained, and can cause us mental and physical harm. For example, Shinn points out that dwelling on the fear of becoming seriously ill can be a self-fulfilling prophesy, and through her interest in the spiritual world, and metaphysical teaching, she shares many practical ways to achieve success, happiness, and spiritual empowerment. I warmly recommend this book to anyone who wants to achieve a healthier and less-stressful life.

This is a practical guide meshing the best from old and modern self-development and success techniques. The author builds anticipation through clever showcasing of concepts and examples. Some of the references are intelligently linked to the Christian Bible and the life of Jesus of Nazareth. The author's use of stories makes it both easy to understand and to see how to apply the advice to your own life. Bring your personal needs and questions and a notebook and pen to your exploration of this book.

I'm always glad to see a historic text kept alive. This attractive cover drew me to the book and it was really interesting to read the thoughts and feelings of a woman writing nearly 100 years ago. Thanks for reviving this!
