Über den Autor

William Walker Atkinson (1862–1932) was an influential figure in the early 20th century’s New Thought movement, a philosophical system with roots in metaphysical beliefs and mental healing practices. Atkinson was a prolific writer, attorney, and publisher. Though his early career was as a lawyer, a mental and physical breakdown gave way to his profound interest in spiritual and mental healing methods, which led him to the New Thought movement. After his recovery, Atkinson began a phase of voracious literary output, under various pseudonyms including Yogi Ramacharaka and Theron Q. Dumont, reflecting his wide-ranging explorations from self-help to esotericism, and including topics like yoga, reincarnation, and practical psychology. One notable title among his extensive bibliography is ‚How to Heal Oneself and Others, ‚ which encapsulates his advocacy for the power of the mind in the process of healing. Atkinson’s literary style often combines pragmatic self-improvement advice with deeper philosophical insights, aiming to empower individuals through an understanding of the laws of the mental universe. His works remain influential in the realms of self-help literature and alternative healing practices.
