William Walker Atkinson was a prolific writer, well known for his publications on the power of the mind. Though his books were written in the early years of the twentieth century, they are still popular up to this day.
Atkinson was born in Baltimore on December 5, 1862 to William C. Atkinson and his wife Emma Lyal Mittnacht Atkinson.
His father and grandfather were successful merchants, owning grocery stores; they were engaged in civic activities such as the school board, fire department, and Whig political party. As a teenager William Jr. worked as a clerk in the grocery.
Atkinson studied law in Pennsylvania and passed the bar exam in 1894. He died on November 22, 1932 in Pasadena, California at age 69.
Atkinson was an extremely prolific author, and editor of several magazines, including Suggestion, a New Thought Journal (1900-1901) and New Thought (1901-1905). As the editor of Advanced Thought magazine (1906-1916), he wrote articles under several names. One of them was "Swami Ramacharaka".
As early as 1885, Atkinson corresponded with early Theosophical Society leaders Thomas Moore Johnson and Elliott B. Page. He became a member of the American Theosophical Society on January 28, 1903, while living in Chicago, according the records of the international Theosophical Society based in Adyar, Chennai, India.

Emmet Fox (1886-1951) was one of the most influential spiritual leaders of the twentieth century and a pioneer of the New Thought movement. His bold, dynamic message proclaiming that our thoughts shape our reality has changed the lives of millions across the world and influenced many key contemporary spiritual writers such as Wayne Dyer, Esther Hicks, and Louise Hay, all of whom have tapped into the power of positive thinking. Fox's other key works include Power Through Constructive Thinking and Alter Your Life.
Écrivain, physicien et diplomate américain, Benjamin Franklin (1706-1790) est un des personnages les plus illustres de l'histoire américaine. Premier ambassadeur des États-Unis à la cour du roi de France, intellectuel complet et franc-maçon de la tradition britannique, il est imprimeur et précurseur « encyclopédiste » avant la lettre, en imprimant et distribuant des almanachs dans les demeures les plus humbles des colonies britanniques d'Amérique. Chaque almanach est un condensé de récits, réflexions philosophiques, rudiments des sciences et recettes techniques.
Jibran Khalal (883 - 1931) was a Lebanese-American artist, poet, and writer of the New York Pen League. Khalil Gibran was born in the town of Bsharri in the Mount Lebanon Mutasarrifate, Ottoman Empire (north of modern-day Lebanon), to Khalil Gibran and Kamila Gibran(Rahmeh). As a young man Khalil emigrated with his family to the United States, where he studied art and began his literary career, writing in both English and Arabic. In the Arab world, Gibran is regarded as a literary and political rebel. His romantic style was at the heart of a renaissance in modern Arabic literature, especially prose poetry, breaking away from the classical school. In Lebanon, he is still celebrated as a literary hero. He is chiefly known in the English-speaking world for his 1923 book The Prophet, an early example of inspirational fiction including a series of philosophical essays written in poetic English prose. The book sold well despite a cool critical reception, gaining popularity in the 1930s and again especially in the 1960s counterculture. Gibran is the third best-selling poet of all time, behind Shakespeare and Laozi.
