William Walker Atkinson
William Walker Atkinson was a prolific American author, attorney, and pioneer of the New Thought movement.
Born in 1862, he wrote over 100 books under various pseudonyms, including Theron Q. Dumont and Yogi Ramacharaka.
Atkinson experienced a personal crisis that led him to discover New Thought principles, which he credited for his recovery.
He became an influential figure in the movement, editing magazines and authoring numerous works on mental science, psychic influence, and practical psychology.
Despite his significant contributions, Atkinson's extensive use of pseudonyms and personal secrecy have led to him being largely forgotten today, though his works remain in print.
