Collection: Frank Channing Haddock
Frank Channing Haddock (1853–1915) developed one of the most extensive systems of practical self-culture associated with early New Thought. A minister, lawyer, author, and lecturer, Haddock concentrated on will, courage, poise, personal influence, practical ability, and the disciplined development of character. His Power-Book Library occupies a revealing borderland between New Thought, popular psychology, business literature, and the emerging twentieth-century culture of self-improvement.
Haddock’s language of magnetism, psychic influence, and mental power belongs to the intellectual environment of his period. These works are presented as historical documents rather than as statements of established modern psychology.
Where to Begin
Begin with Power of Will (1907), the foundational volume of Haddock’s program of deliberate self-culture. Continue with The Personal Atmosphere (1908) for his treatment of poise and personal influence, The Culture of Courage (1910) for the conquest of fear, and Business Power (1910) for the application of his system to practical and financial life. Creative Personality (1916), published after Haddock’s death, forms a culminating study of individuality and the growth of the self.
