The Mystic Will by Charles Godfrey Leland

"The Mystic Will" by Charles Godfrey Leland is a self-help treatise written in the late 19th century. The work explores the methods by which individuals can develop and strengthen their mental faculties through their willpower, suggesting that anyone of ordinary intelligence can achieve this by following the author's scientifically-based processes. The text promises insights into enhancing one’s will, memory, and overall mental states. The opening of the book presents Leland's biographical background and philosophical inspirations behind the principles he discusses. He introduces the idea that human beings possess latent mental powers that can be awakened through a series of deliberate practices involving self-suggestion and forethought. Emphasizing simplicity, Leland encourages readers to experiment with these techniques for personal improvement, illustrating how achieving mastery over one's will can lead to enhanced focus, better emotional control, and greater overall well-being. This initial segment sets the stage for the detailed exploration of will-building exercises and techniques that follow in the subsequent chapters. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
