Vitalizing Influence of Certain Ideas
One of the greatest discoveries of modern times is the impellent energy of thought.
That every idea in consciousness is energizing and carries with it an impulse to some kind of muscular activity is a comparatively new but well-settled principle of psychology. That this principle could be made to serve practical ends seems never to have occurred to anyone until within the last few years.
The Work of Prince, Gerrish, Sidis, Janet, Binet
Certain eminent pioneers in therapeutic
psychology, such men as Prince, Gerrish, Sidis, Janet, Binet and other physician-scientists, have lately made practical use of the vitalizing influence of certain classes of ideas in the healing of disease.
We shall go farther than these men have gone and show you that the impellent energy of ideas is the means to all practical achievement and to all practical success.
