5.0 out of 5 starsFascinating and controversial survey and time
By Robert H. Nunnally Jr. on November 30, 2004
Format: Paperback Verified Purchase
When I began to read "Each Mind a Kingdom", I soon realized that it was that dreaded genre--the doctoral dissertation made flesh.

I expected the worst sort of academic exercise, in both senses of the word, and read on only because the book had a great cover and I am fascinated with New Thought ideas.

But "Each Mind a Kingdom" is anything but a dry academic tome.

It's as alive as a novel, and full of ideas and opinions. It's rather like going to a movie like "My Dinner with Andre", in which the author sets up ideas with scenarios, and then allows the ideas to subtly hover.

I'm not saying that I found everything in "Each Mind a Kingdom" to be a plethora of positions with which I agreed. Indeed, in many cases, I felt that Dr. Satter over-eggs the pudding, and draws conclusions beyond her citations, and, in some cases, dismisses as "ambiguous" or "unclear" those authorities which do not fit her premise. I found the omission of Elizabeth Delvine King's work, whose "purity new thought" ideas would not fit the author's "chronology" of the rise and fall of the "purity" movement, to be puzzling, and the near-dismissal of the Unity School and Religious Science to be curious in light of the far greater mainstream impact each movement had upon the culture than many of the people whom the author covers in detail.

Still, this book merits reading because it is a narrative voice making important points from fascinating subject matter. She introduced me to thinkers with whose work I was less familiar. More importantly, she tackles the gender rhetoric of early New Thought writings, particularly that by women, and examines the impact of the competing ways of looking at things on the broad culture.

5.0 out of 5 starsInteresting and Enlightening
By Oldant on April 19, 2006
Format: Paperback
This is a great book. I have not been able to stop reading. It does indeed read like a good novel. You will find that it explains a great deal about our Victorian heritage and some of the ideas that have shaped the present. Fascinating!

4.0 out of 5 starsThe Evolution of Theories of White Supremacy
By Edith Swanek on April 24, 2012
Format: Paperback
This is a fascinating study of how 19th century theories of explicit White Supremacy and the White Race's ostensible need to "evolve to the next level" to continue and expand its world domination...instead evolved unto the present into modern psychology, womens' liberation, the Social Gospel, New Age beliefs and religions, scientology, inner child/self/peace/divine movements, 12-stepism, affirmations, western meditation, and Positive Thinking Christianity.

A rather odd debt the 21st century (see Oprah and President Obama's choice to give the benediction at his own inauguration) owes to overtly rejected beliefs from the 19th century, but there (and here) it is.

4.0 out of 5 starsGood book – poor publishing in Kindle.
By Jim Youngman on August 1, 2014
Format: Paperback
The book offers some fresh insight into the early development of the New Thought movement. Unfortunately the Kindle edition is marred by poor OCR and does not appear to have been edited.
