What All the World's A-Seeking

by Ralph Waldo Trine [1896]

This thought-provoking book, which can be read in one sitting, is a perennial classic of this genre.

This book stands out in the huge body of New Thought literature for several reasons. First of all, he uses the phrase 'A Science of Mind' nearly two decades before the Ernest Holmes book of the same title. Second, and much more importantly, is the stress he places on service and compassion, not only to humanity, but to also animals, in fact, all sentient or conscious beings.

1896. Each is building his world from within: thought is the builder; for thoughts are forces, subtle, vital, irresistible, omnipotent, and according as used do they bring power or impotence peace or pain, success or failure. This book reveals techniques for propsperity and spiritual success.
