Amazing book. The Power of Concentration, It is the utmost value to

“Center your mind on one purpose, one plan, one
transaction.”
The Power of Concentration was first published in
Chicago in 1918. As a pioneering self help book, it deals with developing the
faculty of deep concentration to achieve your personal and professional goals.
Bending the entire power of your mind and focusing it on the thing you want to
achieve apparently creates cosmic energies that will manifest the goal. For
many modern day readers, this may sound extremely familiar. Current theories of
coaching, mentoring and the plethora of “How To...” books that crowd bookstore
shelves all contain ideas like this. The power of visualization, self-dialog,
self-awareness, elimination of negative thoughts etc. are all presented
in The Power of Concentration.
The book also contains practical exercises for honing
your powers of concentration, observation and keeping your focus sharp and
keen. There are also excellent suggestions regarding diet and nutrition,
exercise and physical fitness and their effect on the mind. However, the latter
half of the book could be disappointing to some readers as it meanders through
topics like cosmic rays, divine wisdom, etc which tend to delve into less than
believable territory.
However, as a self-help manual, The Power of
Concentration does indeed provide valuable tips on cultivating the now
lost art of concentration. For today's generation which is subject to an
infinite number of distractions and is prey to notoriously short attention
spans, The Power of Concentration is the most valuable and useful
guide.
Those who lack this power or, rather who fail to develop it, will generally suffer from poverty and unhappiness and their life’s work will most often failure, while those who develop and use it will make the most of life’s opportunities. Of course the mere reading the lessons and practical inside the book will not do you a great deal of good, but, if the exercises are practiced and worked out and applied to your own individual case, you should be able to acquire the habit of concentration in such measure as to greatly improve your work and increase your happiness.” – The Author
