From the millions-strong audiences of Oprah and The Secret to the mass-media ministries of evangelical figures like Joel Osteen and T. D. Jakes, to the motivational bestsellers and New Age seminars to the twelve-step programs and support groups of the recovery movement and to the rise of positive psychology and stress-reduction therapies, this idea--to think positively--is metaphysics morphed into mass belief. This is the biography of that belief. No one has yet written a serious and broad-ranging treatment and history of the positive-thinking movement. Until now. For all its influence across popular culture, religion, politics, and medicine, this psycho-spiritual movement remains a maligned and misunderstood force in modern life. Its roots are unseen and its long-range impact is unacknowledged. It is often considered a cotton-candy theology for New Agers and self-help junkies. In response, One Simple Idea corrects several historical misconceptions about the positive-thinking movement and introduces us to a number of colorful and dramatic personalities, including Napoleon Hill and Norman Vincent Peale, whose books and influence have touched the lives of tens of millions across the world.

In Happy Warriors, iconic voice of esoteric spirituality Mitch Horowitz provides an enthralling literary survey of the lives and ideas of the most remarkable figures in positive-mind spirituality, opening a fresh window on the history and practice of New Thought. Writing with drama, erudition, and practical, hands-on ideas, Mitch reconsiders popular icons including Napoleon Hill, Neville Goddard, Wallace D. Wattles, Emile Coué, Joseph Murphy, Florence Scovel Shinn, and more. Mitch also writes about deeply influential figures who have never before been historically profiled, including Magic of Believing author Claude M. Bristol, Psycho-Cybernetics author Maxwell Maltz, and remarkable mind-body physician Ainslie Mears. Mitch further captures the work, ideas—and controversies—of socially significant voices including Oral Roberts and Norman Vincent Peale. Happy Warriors is a breakthrough work that reassesses the leading minds of popular metaphysics in a grounded, meticulous, and practical light. “Mitch is a wonderful bridge connecting these ethereal, misunderstood, eyeroll-y subjects with a great methodology and with a great way of articulating them.”—Duncan Trussell, The Duncan Trussell Family Hour “Horowitz effortlessly navigates between believer and critic.”—Zack Kruse, Mutant Graveyard, Substack “The thinking man’s mage.”—Douglas Rushkoff, Team Human

What Would You Give to Lead a Bold, Satisfying, and Successful Life? Author Mitch Horowitz (“solid gold”—David Lynch) asks you to give one thing: your mental focus for just 30 days. In The 30-Day Mental Challenge, Mitch guides you through one simple exercise—so simple, in fact, that you may not believe it can change anything. But, like thousands who have tried, you will be surprised. You are to direct your thoughts for 30 days toward what is productive, forwarding, and promising—and to believe that every reasonable ambition is within your reach. That’s it. Simple as it sounds, however, this exercise places you in front of tremendous and unforeseen challenges. Hence, Mitch guides you—with realism, bluntness, and authentic ideals—through each day to help you stay on track, contend with pitfalls (which are many), and witness concrete results. Effort is all it takes. Will you try? Many have said yes only to drop off. Many others have stayed on. Their testimonies appear in the book, including: “I always dismissed the ‘positive thought’ movement as something somehow beneath me, preferring complicated and arduous meditation and nuanced esoteric rituals for my own self-improvement journey…These meditations have been a lifesaver during a very challenging time. No lie.” “This has been transformative beyond expectation.” “The 30-day challenge has helped me overcome so many obstacles and I feel so grateful. Magick is real and man, it is such a beautiful, positive thing!” Your time is now. Join The 30-Day Mental Challenge.
