What is New Thought? or The Living Way — Charles Brodie Patterson (1913)

In What Is New Thought? or The Living Way (1913), Charles Brodie Patterson offers a substantial explanation of the movement’s principles, aims, and practical application.

Patterson considers the relation among mind, body, spirit, health, character, prayer, consciousness, and universal law. He presents New Thought not merely as positive thinking, but as a way of interpreting human nature and bringing spiritual principles into ordinary conduct.

The book also responds to the tension between rapid material progress and continuing inward unrest. Patterson argues that external improvement cannot satisfy the whole person unless mental and spiritual life develop alongside it.

Historical Health Note
The healing ideas reflect early New Thought and mind-cure philosophy and should not replace contemporary medical care.
