Your Invisible Power & How to Live Life and Love it (Annotated‪)‬

Geneviève Behrend's Your Invisible Power & How to Live Life and Love It is a lucid New Thought manual on the disciplined use of imagination, desire, and mental causation. Written in a direct, exhortative style, it blends practical exercises in visualization with metaphysical claims about the creative power of thought. Situated within the early twentieth-century literature of mental science, the book reflects the era's confidence that inner states could shape outer circumstance, while retaining a distinctly devotional and ethical tone. Behrend was one of the most prominent pupils of Thomas Troward, the influential British judge and metaphysical lecturer whose Edinburgh Lectures helped define New Thought philosophy. Her own work translates Troward's abstract principles into accessible counsel for ordinary readers seeking prosperity, purpose, and emotional renewal. As a woman teacher in a field often dominated by male theorists, Behrend brought warmth, clarity, and practical urgency to ideas she had tested through study and lived experience. This volume is recommended to readers interested in the history of self-help, metaphysical religion, and the genealogy of modern visualization practices. It will especially appeal to those who value concise spiritual instruction and wish to understand a foundational text behind later prosperity and positive-thinking traditions.
