First published as a 24-week correspondence course in 1912, and then as
a book in 1916, Charles F. Haanel's "The Master Key System" is a classic
work of self-empowerment. A principal text of the New Thought movement,
"The Master Key System" describes how one can use the law of attraction
to creatively visualize a better life for oneself. As Haanel describes
in his introduction to the "The Master Key System", "Nature compels us
all to move through life. We could not remain stationary however much we
wished. Every right-thinking person wants not merely to move through
life like a sound-producing, perambulating plant, but to develop-to
improve-and to continue the development mentally to the close of
physical life. This development can occur only through the improvement
of the quality of individual thought and the ideals, actions and
conditions that arise as a consequence. Hence a study of the creative
processes of thought and how to apply them is of supreme importance to
each one of us. This knowledge is the means whereby the evolution of
human life on earth may be hastened and uplifted in the process."
