Kybalion : The Masterwork of Esoteric Wisdom for Living With Power and Purpose

The Transformational Occult Classic―Now in a Special Abridged Edition with a New Introduction

Since its first appearance on the American metaphysical scene in 1908, The Kybalion has been a source of wisdom, wonder, and practical advice. Its esoteric insights, drawn from the Hermetic traditions of Ancient Egypt and Greece, present a complete philosophy of life.

Now, PEN Award-winning historian and New Thought scholar Mitch Horowitz reintroduces this landmark work in a razor-sharp condensation that contains all the wisdom of the original, but provides a special entry point for newcomers and a touchstone for longtime readers who want a refresher in the book’s insights.

This condensation of The Kybalion will enhance your understanding of the original, as it zeroes in on the book’s most transformative points, and Mitch’s introduction explains and contextualizes the work’s enduring power.

Who wrote this mysterious guide to esoteric psychology and wordly success? History has kept us guessing. The "Three Initiates" who authored The Kybalion chose to remain anonymous.

Mitch Horowitz, who abridged and introduced this volume, is the PEN Award-winning author of books including Occult America and The Miracle Club: How Thoughts Become Reality.  The Washington Post says Mitch "treats esoteric ideas and movements with an even-handed intellectual studiousness that is too often lost in today's raised-voice discussions." Follow him @MitchHorowitz.
