About this ebook
In this epic yet remarkably simple volume, Theron Q. Dumont-the pseudonym of William Walker Atkinson, author of the legendary work The Kybalion-shows how proper concentration can bring you into an entirely new world of personal magnetism, success, and effectiveness.
We grossly undervalue the power of our thoughts. But this simple program of mental focus will vastly increase your power, charisma, and self-mastery. You will think better, do more, and experience greater respect and success.
Newly abridged and introduced by PEN Award-winning historian and New Thought writer Mitch Horowitz, this condensation provides you, in a very short space of time, all the elements and principles of Atkinson's mind-power program, which you can put into use right now to create a better, more dynamic self.

The Power of Concentration (Condensed Classics) - Theron Dumont
LESSON I
Concentration Finds the Way
Everyone has two natures. One wants to advance and the other wants to pull back. The one that we cultivate and concentrate on decides what we are at the end. Both natures are vying for control. The will alone decides the issue. A man by one supreme effort of the will may change his whole career, and almost accomplish miracles. You may be that man. You can be if you Will to be, for Will can find a way, or make one.
It is a matter of choice whether we allow our diviner self to control us, or whether we get controlled by the brute within. No man has to do anything he does not want to do. He is therefore the director of his life, if he wills to be. What we do is the result of our training. We are like putty, and can be completely controlled by our willpower.
Many people read good books, but say they do not get much out of them. They do not realize that all any book or lesson can do is to awaken them to their possibilities. One of the most beneficial practices I know of is looking for the good in everyone and everything, for there is good in all things. We encourage a person by seeing his good qualities, and we also help ourselves by looking for them. We gain their good wishes, a most valuable asset. We get back what we give out.

I know that every man who is willing to pay the price can be a success. The price is not in money, but in effort. The first essential quality for success is the desire to do—to be something. The next thing is to learn how to do it; the next to carry it into execution. The man best able to accomplish anything is the one with a broad mind; a man may acquire knowledge that is foreign to a particular case, but is, nevertheless, of some value in all cases. So, the man who wants to be successful must be liberal; he must acquire all the knowledge he can; he must be well posted not only in one branch of his business but in every part of it. Such a man achieves
