Thought Power
Thought Power: Its Control and Culture
A short treatise on practical psychology: the nature of thought, the building of memory and concentration, the obstacles of the mind, meditation and the 'strengthening' of character through directed attention. It has been Besant's most translated and reprinted book, a precursor of mental self-help literature.
