Nowadays, we hear so much about the law of attraction, and how it can change your life. Books, websites and people teach it, some of them promising quick and easy success and wealth.

The law of attraction works in the lives of people, as it works in nature, and I have written a book about how to use it. Though this law works and brings results, you need to know a few things about it and how to use correctly, and you have also to devote time and effort to make it manifest in your life.

Attaining success requires persistence, willpower, self-discipline, strong ambition, a definite plan and certain other skills. It does not happen overnight as some promise. Of course there are certain goals that are within immediate reach, and can therefore be accomplished quite fast. This is because you are already ready for them, and all you need is some small effort to bring them about, but if you desire something that is way above your present reach, you can still get it, but even if you use the law of attraction you will need to invest time and effort to manifest it.

There is a vast difference between manifesting a car, when you already have most of the money to pay for it, and manifesting a successful business with many employees, when you have no money in the bank.

William Walker Atkinson was a prolific writer, who is well known for his books on the power of the mind and using it to achieve success. Though his books were written in the early years of the twentieth century, they are still popular up to this day.

William Walker Atkinson was born in Baltimore, Maryland, on December 5 1862 and passed away on November 22 1932. He was an influential figure in the early days of the New Thought Movement, and for a certain period of time edited a magazine by this name. He was an attorney, publisher, author and occultist. In some of his books he used his name as the author, and in others he used pseudonyms, such as Theron Q. Dumont and Yogi Ramacharaka.

I have become acquainted with the books of William Walker Atkinson many years ago, and have learned a great deal from them. I like his books for their practical approach, clear instructions and for their inspiration and motivation. His language is simple, well understood and to the point. I have read his books many times, each time new truths were revealed, which were not perceived in the previous reading.
