How to Get What You Want

Journalist, lawyer, and financier Claude M. Bristol (1890-1951) made a lifelong study of the practical powers of the psyche. Bristol discovered the royal secret encrypted throughout history in myth, parable, ceremony, and initiation: you are as your mind is.

In his 1948 classic The Magic of Believing, Bristol employed his skills as a journalist and straight-talking businessman to reveal this truth to the widest possible range of readers. Bristol’s actionable examples, exercises, and evidence enchanted generations of everyday seekers as well as celebrities ranging from Arnold Schwarzenegger to Liberace.

With a broad-ranging historical introduction and supplemental readings by scholar of esotericism Mitch Horowitz, this edition of The Magic of Believing is the definitive publication of Bristol’s mind-power landmark.
