Law of Attraction from 1906

With all the focus on the Law of Attraction during the past few years (see Jack Canfield’s Key to Living the Law of Attraction: A Simple Guide to Creating the Life of Your Dreams and The Secret), I was surprised to come across this reference to a book that was published way back in 1906, written by William Walker Atkinson: Thought Vibration, or The Law of Attraction in the Thought World .

Atkinson was a writer and publisher, attorney and merchant who published a number of texts under a series of somewhat mystical and metaphysical pseudonyms as well as his own name. He wrote over one hundred books during the latter years of his life and was a pioneer of what is known as the New Thought Movement. His texts delve into the subjects of the power of thought, the occult, memory, psychology, magnetism, yogic disciplines, and karma.

In any case, this audiobook from Librivox.org is free for the listening.

On Project Gutenberg, several books (in HTML, ePub, Kindle, and text formats) by William Walker Atkinson are available for downloading, including:

Your Mind and How to Use It: A Manual of Practical Psychology and Memory: How to Develop, Train, and Use It.
