About the author
William Walker Atkinson (1862–1932) was a pivotal figure in the early 20th-century's New Thought movement, which is known for its beliefs in the power of the mind and mental healing. Born in Baltimore, Maryland, Atkinson pursued a career in law but found his true calling in the realm of spiritual and philosophical writing. In 1906, he authored 'Thought Vibration or the Law of Attraction in the Thought World,' marking the beginning of a prolific period during which he wrote extensively under various pseudonyms including Yogi Ramacharaka and Theron Q. Dumont. Atkinson's literary style combined the empirical with the inspirational, aiming to empower the individual through an understanding of the metaphysical laws governing the universe. His contributions to the New Thought literature include seminal works such as 'The Power of Concentration' and 'The Kybalion,' co-authored under the pseudonym the Three Initiates. Atkinson's 'The Complete Works' is an exhaustive compilation that showcases his spiritual philosophy and psychological insights. His influence extended beyond his written works, as he also played a significant role in the establishment of various New Thought organizations which helped to disseminate his teachings and perspectives on mind-power and success. Atkinson's synthesis of Eastern and Western esoteric principles has left an indelible mark on metaphysical and self-help genres, influencing later authors and thinkers in the field.
