About the author

Prentice Mulford (1834–1891) was a pivotal figure in the New Thought movement, a collection of philosophies that emphasized the power of the mind in affecting life’s realities. Born in Sag Harbor, New York, he first made a living through various occupations including mining during the California Gold Rush, before turning to journalism and ultimately, the pursuit of his writing and philosophizing. Mulford is particularly renowned for his seminal work ‘Your Forces and How to Use Them’, a series of essays encapsulating his thoughts on mental and spiritual self-improvement. This book, compiled into six volumes, offers a comprehensive outline of his belief in the Law of Attraction, the idea that one’s thoughts can directly influence their experience of life. His literary style combines an engaging narrative voice with the impulsiveness characteristic of self-help and philosophical literature of his age. Mulford’s essays remain a cornerstone for those studying the New Thought movement and the development of metaphysical beliefs concerning the harnessing of personal power and the cultivation of inner strength. Through his advocacy for positive thinking and self-confidence, Mulford has left a lasting legacy on the domain of motivational and inspirational literature.
