The Power of Concentration — William Walker Atkinson / Theron Q. Dumont — 1918

Concentration is not presented here as strain, but as the ability to hold thought steadily upon a chosen purpose.

In The Power of Concentration (1918), William Walker Atkinson, writing as Theron Q. Dumont, offers a course in attention, will, mental poise, memory, courage, habit change, business effectiveness, and the deliberate direction of desire.

The lessons move from the basic training of attention into concentrated demand, will development, constructive ideals, and practical exercises. Throughout, Dumont argues that scattered energy produces scattered results, while disciplined attention allows the individual to use existing abilities more effectively.

Lessons include concentration and self-mastery, the training of the will, overcoming bad habits, business results, courage, wealth, memory, desire, ideals, mental control, and concentrated will development.
