About the book
Atkinson's law of attraction, written while the phrase was new and the governing metaphor was radio: thought as a wave that finds its own frequency. Practical, faintly mechanical, and refreshingly free of promises about parking spaces.

1 / 6
People in Atkinson's circle liked to say “Thoughts are Things,” and he complained that most of them said it the way you repeat a proverb: without hearing it.
He meant it literally. When you think, he writes, you send out vibrations of a fine ethereal substance, as real as light or heat, only at a far higher rate. You cannot see, hear, weigh or taste them, and he does not think that settles anything.
His favorite comparison is the magnet. A strong one will draw a hundred pounds of steel to itself, and not one of your five senses registers the force doing it. For Atkinson, invisible has never meant absent.
