Your Forces and How to Use Them
by Christian D. Larson
Larson's 1912 New Thought text on the subconscious, the will, imagination and 'the power of desire', from the author of the Optimist Creed. It is florid, repetitive and the chapter on the will is still a useful meditation on self-direction.
Read it if…
you collect New Thought sources and want Larson's main work.
Skip it if…
you want one New Thought book; In Tune with the Infinite is better.
Three things you will actually use
- Promise yourself to be so strong that nothing can disturb your peace.
- The will is trained by use.
- Desire directed becomes power.
Do this first
Read the Optimist Creed, then the chapter on the will.
Our verdict
Larson's main work.
