THE NEW PSYCHOLOGY BOOKS

By William Walker Atkinson

In the past few years a widespread mental and spiritual awakening has taken place among the people of this country. And this new awakening has been very aptly called THE NEW PSYCHOLOGY MOVEMENT, because it has to do with the development and expression of the mind, or soul, of both the individual and the nation.

YOUR MIND AND HOW TO USE IT.
THE MASTERY OF BEING.
MEMORY: HOW TO DEVELOP, TRAIN AND USE IT.
THE PSYCHOLOGY OF SALESMANSHIP.

Although each book stands alone as an authority on the subject treated, yet one idea runs through the series binding them together to make a complete whole.

Uniform Postpaid Price of Each Volume is $1.60.

NEW THOUGHT: ITS HISTORY AND PRINCIPLES
