5.0 out of 5 stars
If you have the time,
This review is from: Instantaneous Personal Magnetism: Combining an Absolutely New Method with the Best Established Teachings of the Past (Paperback)
Edmund Shaftesbury's book is not a book to read only. It requires studying his lessons. These lessons are most intriguing and you are very curious to learn more and more. They are also easy to understand and to apply. The beauty of the book is that you can open it at any page and discover something exciting. Then, of course you want to go back to catch up with the beginning. I have not finished it, but I can already see a big difference in my life: I feel more energetic and people have been particularly nice to me for the last few days, without my doing anything.

A Source of Greatness,
This review is from: Instantaneous Personal Magnetism: Combining an Absolutely New Method with the Best Established Teachings of the Past (Paperback)
Shaftesbury shows us how to find and express a latent power that is ours by birthright. The understanding and practice of the exercises within this book, bring forth a clarity of vision and the ability to create success which was heretofore lacking.
From the Introduction, it is learned that many individuals that have shaped history were associated with Shaftesbury and his works. Notable mentions are William Gladstone ( Prime Minister of England ), Charles Parnell, Dwight Moody, and Henry Ward Beecher to name just a few. Shaftesbury founded the "Ralston Health Club" which had over 3 million homes associated with it by 1913. My 1913 copy of the "Life Building Method" of the Ralston Health Club, is the 110th edition of the book . The name " Ralston" in "Ralston Purina" comes from Shaftesbury. In light of todays understanding of biology and physiology, many of Shaftesbury's explanations of how to promote Personal Magnetism seem quaint and exaggerated. Regardless of the terminology, the methods work, and produce results. Little to nothing will come from just reading the book, it is the application of the outlined principles that manifests the ability.

Kooky Book,
By
This review is from: Instantaneous Personal Magnetism: Combining an Absolutely New Method with the Best Established Teachings of the Past (Paperback)
What a hoot! Quaint, presumptuous, full of fluff, and non-stop kookery. If you enjoy the outrageous and the odd, as I do, you'll be delighted with this long-winded, pompous exposition of complete nonsense. Magnetism is personal power and the author's treatise on how to attain it is total bunk peppered with pseudo-science. There's even a chapter about developing a "magnetic eye!" The author whose real name was Albert Edgerly and who on occasion called himself Dr. Ralston, developed quite a loyal following during his day (1852-1926) among whom was William Danforth, the president of Purina, who even added Ralston to his company's name!
