"Auto-suggestion: How It Works" William J. Fielding, 1923 (No. 447 - Little Blue Book)
 
This guide strips away the mystical fluff of the 1920s "New Thought" movement to reveal a sleek, mechanical process for reprogramming your habits through the sheer force of directed imagination. By mastering the art of the "silent command," Fielding teaches you how to bypass the critical, doubting conscious mind and plant seeds of confidence and health directly into your internal hard drive. It’s a fascinating look at the birth of modern self-optimization, proving that with the right mental script, you can literally talk yourself into a more successful reality.
