Thought Vibration or the Law of Attraction in the Thought World

by William Walker Atkinson

Overview

Says an old adage: "Be careful what you wish for, because you might just get it." On this matter, William W. Atkinson was one of the first people to write about the Law of Attraction. He said: "I believe that thoughts are things, and that the Law of Attraction and the thought that the world will draw to one just what he desires or fears".
In this book, the author examines the nature of mental thought and its power to affect ones life in a thought-provoking discourse that elucidates the power of positive mental thought. First pulished on 1908, "Thought Vibration", a classic of self-help literature, is as applicable today as when it was first written.
Thought manifestations are multiform: we are familiar with some of them, but are almost totally ignorant of certain others. We are learning a little more every day and when we come to see that thought is a force - a manifestation of energy - having a magnet-like power of attraction, we will begin to understand the "why" and "wherefore" of many things that have since seemed dark to us. There is no study that will so well repay the student for his time and trouble as the study of the workings of this mighty law of the world of thought - the Law of Attraction.
