William Walker Atkinson

William Walker Atkinson (1862–1932) was a Chicago lawyer turned New Thought publisher, writing under his own name and a shelf of masks — Yogi Ramacharaka, Theron Q. Dumont, Bhakta Vishita among them. Practical Mind-Reading and Your Mind and How to Use It treat will, attention, and the unseen as crafts. The voice is brisk, American, and sure the mind can be trained like a muscle.
