📝 Description: Your Invisible Power

First published in 1921, "Your Invisible Power: Working Principles and Concrete Examples in Applied Mental Science" is the influential self-help book by Geneviève Behrend. The author was initially a student of the Christian Science movement until she read lectures given by Thomas Troward and became a student of his New Thought discipline known as Mental Science. In "Your Invisible Power", Behrend explains in detail how to use the incredible mental power available to everyone to manifest and create what they most want. As Behrend states in the beginning of her work: "These pages have been written with purpose and hope that their suggestions may furnish you a key to open up the way to the attainment of your desires, and to explain that fear should be entirely banished from your effort to obtain possession of the things you desire." Behrend explains what exactly Mental Science is and how to apply its teachings in everyday life. Full of specific examples from her own life and practical advice for understanding and incorporating Troward's teachings, "Your Invisible Power" is an inspiring and accessible self-help guide that continues to assist readers in having a better and more fulfilling life. This edition is printed on premium acid-free paper.

Esoterica Books editorial team
Occult literature desk
Behrend’s text serves as a vital primer for Mental Science, distilling complex metaphysical concepts into accessible anecdotes and clear directives. It succeeds brilliantly in demonstrating how desire, when purged of doubt, commands reality. However, readers expecting rigorous academic analysis or scientific proof will find it lacking; this is spiritual instruction, not empirical study. Those skeptical of the direct link between thought and material outcome may view its assertions as overly simplistic. It suits believers in mental sovereignty but offers little to those requiring logical deconstruction of its metaphysical premises.

My book club chose this last month. The historical context alone makes it worth the price. The typesetting is comfortable for study, with good margins for notes.

Took a chance on this and glad I did. Challenging in places, but never needlessly obscure. If you're drawn to this subject, don't hesitate.

Almost perfect

Perfect companion for my morning study sessions. The text itself is dense but rewarding — you get out what you put in. It reads better in small doses — a chapter at a time with notes. Some archaic spellings slow things down. Solid, if not essential.

Excellent find

Honestly wasn't sure what to expect, but I'm impressed. I found myself reading passages aloud just to sit with them. My only regret is not ordering it sooner.

Was skeptical at first. The ideas are old but land with surprising force today. Would buy from this store again.

Ordered this after seeing it referenced in another book I was studying. It pairs well with more modern commentaries on the same tradition. It rewards patience more than any book I've bought this year. Deserves a place on any esoteric bookshelf.
