This vintage book contains a detailed exposition of suggestion and autosuggestion by the pioneer of the technique, Émile Coué de la Châtaigneraie. Autosuggestion is a psychological technique developed at the beginning of the 20th century. It is a type of self-induced suggestion whereby one's thoughts, feelings, or behaviour are self-guided. Contents include: "Interview by Emile Coué of Each Patient Attending His Clinic", "Examples and Experiments Illustrating the Powers of Suggestion and Autosuggestion", "Suggestions: General", "Suggestions: Special for Each Ailment", "Special Suggestions for Each Ailment", "Advice to Patients", "Lecture Delivered by Emile Coué in Twenty Cities of America", et cetera. Many vintage books such as this are increasingly scarce and expensive. We are republishing this volume now in an affordable, modern, high-quality edition complete with a specially commissioned new biography of Émile Coué de la Châtaigneraie.

A philosophical study by W.W. Atkinson, Suggestion and Auto-Suggestion is written, in his usual style, like an essay on suggestion. In other words, he discusses the definition of suggestion, the different forms it takes (such as authority, habit, imitation, character, and so on), the influence of suggestion, and how suggestion can be healthy and therapeutic, plus build character. As always, Atkinson is descriptive and holds the readers attention with anecdotes and examples. American writer WILLIAM WALKER ATKINSON (1862-1932) was editor of the popular magazine New Thought from 1901 to 1905, and editor of the journal Advanced Thought from 1916 to 1919. He authored dozens of New Thought books under numerous pseudonyms, including "Yogi," some of which are likely still unknown today.
