Thoughts Are Things

What if the power to transform your life was already within you — in every thought you think? First published in the 1880s, Prentice Mulford’s *Thoughts Are Things* is a foundational work of the New Thought movement that has quietly shaped the landscape of modern self-help. In clear, direct essays, Mulford argues that our mental habits determine our external circumstances: fear invites failure, trust invites abundance, and every thought is a seed we plant for the future. This faithful modern-English edition restores the original’s warmth and practical wisdom without archaic language. Whether you are new to Mulford or returning to an old friend, you will find a gentle guide to mastering your inner world — learning the art of forgetting, the economy of the passing moment, and the power of concentration. Here is a book to read slowly, reflect upon, and return to often. Part of The Modern Wisdom Library.
