Thought-Culture; Or, Practical Mental Training

"Thought-Culture; Or, Practical Mental Training" by William Walker Atkinson is a guide from the early 1900s that acts as a guide that teaches people how to sharpen their minds for their own good and the good of everyone else. The writing centers around understanding thoughts, teaching how to grow mental skills to control one's thinking and reach goals. It begins by talking about a "New Psychology Movement," explaining how recently people have started waking up to mental and spiritual health. Atkinson talks about what thoughts are, calling it key to humanity's rise above physical constraints due to logic and new ideas. It encourages a careful development of thinking and implies that mental exercise can lead people to better use their thinking abilities, improving themselves and the world.
