Warriors on Unhappiness
<p>In making my selections, I can disavow neither personal taste nor error. There is, it must be acknowledged, a degree of affinity present. I warrant only earnestness of effort and consistency of criteria.</p>
<p><em>Happy Warriors</em> explores not just New Thought’s most intellectually and spiritually stimulating figures, or so I reckon, but those who remain widely read and influential. On that last count, I permit several exceptions, including the late-­nineteenth-­century journalist-­seeker Prentice Mulford with whom the book opens; Mulford deserves widespread rediscovery. I begin with the fitful seeker because he, perhaps more than any other figure in New Thought, elevated the genre to the conversational, widely accessible language on which it soared to influence.</p>
