Presented here in its original 12-volume series, the Personal Power
Books are a set of self-help books designed to be carefully studied to
develop personal power. In the Foreword to Volume I, personal power is
defined as "The ability of strength possessed by the human individual,
by which he does, or may, accomplish desired results in an efficient
manner, along the lines of physical, mental, and spiritual effort and
endeavor." In other words, these books describe the methods to attaining
control and power in your own life, whether it be financial, physical,
mental, or emotional--certainly a worthy goal for any individual. Volume
VI includes instructions on how to locate and use your lesser-known
subconscious power--located in the higher planes of the mind. Through
meditation and concentration, subconscious power can be used, which will
also strengthen other forms of personal power. 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 the name "Yogi," some of which are likely
still unknown today.
