The book is simple and straightforward, and it uses some techniques that are very effective but have fallen out of use, perhaps due to lack of understanding of the principles that make these techniques work.

Once upon a time people were taught some good techniques. Like Atkinson's books on mind-power, Theron Dumont's books also incorporate the use of both hypnosis and what we have come to call "remote hypnosis". They may not use the language of "energy", but that's what they are all about - the use of mind to create changes both in yourself and in your environment.

A simple comprehensive book dealing with personal vibrational energy. By using techniques such as telepathy you can exert influence over your own life as well as conveying or suggesting ideas to others. By using mind power we are able to exert positive control over our own lives.

The book is simple to follow, and its principles practicable. I've been using its recommended exercises and seeing results.

The Art and Science of Personal Magnetism was copyrighted in 1930 by the Yogi Publication Society. I purchased this book over 40 years ago and I still have it. I was looking something up in the book when I decided to see if it was still in print, so I went to Amazon. In doing a preview, I noticed that chapter 21 (XXI) is missing from this edition. It is called "The Power of Controlling Others". While that title may seem ominous, it is mostly about taking charge of your own life and protecting you from negative influences.

It's just curious that this chapter was omitted, and I am wondering if it was mentioned in this edition and if it was noted that the chapter was deleted. Can someone tell me? The book I have is 238 pages, and the 21st chapter (the Power of COntrolling Others) begins on Page 192. The description of this book on Amazon does not list how many pages this book is, or did I miss it somewhere?

I enjoyed how the book was written in easy to understand language and it gave enough examples for you to try the techniques in your daily life. I would read more of this authors books.
