Your Mind and How to Use It: A Manual of Practical Psychology
William Walker Atkinson, a Chicago lawyer turned New Thought writer who produced books under several names, published Your Mind and How to Use It in 1911. Its thirty-one short chapters move from the question of what the mind is, through the nerves, the senses, the brain and consciousness, to the faculties he wants the reader to train: attention, perception, memory, imagination, association, reasoning, the emotions, the instincts and the will. Each is explained in plain terms and followed by advice and exercises for strengthening it. The psychology is that of the popular textbooks of the day, and the purpose is practical efficiency rather than theory. The full text is available to read online in your browser on Vinteuil, and the first chapter is free.
