How to Read Human Nature: Its Inner States and Outer Forms

How to Read Human Nature: Its Inner States and Outer Forms by William Walker Atkinson is a guide to human body language, personality, character, and qualities. It takes reading body language and voice inflection for meaning to the next level, analyzing such elements as mental qualities, emotive qualities, relative qualities, and perceptive qualities in the human brain, reminding one of the study of phrenology. A lovely complement to Atkinson's books relating to higher thought and the super- and sub-conscious, How to Read Human Nature is an ideal read for students of "New Thought." American writer WILLIAM WALKER ATKINSON (1862-1932) was editor of the popular magazine New Thought from 1901 to 1905, and editor of the journal Advanced Thought from 1916 to 1919. He authored dozens of New Thought books under numerous pseudonyms, including "Yogi," some of which are likely still unknown today.

William Walker Atkinson was one of the early twentieth century’s most prolific New Thought advocates. He is believed to be the author of several New Thought books which, in part, work to introduce Western readers to Eastern ideas about the topic spirituality. During the course of his writing career, Atkinson wrote under several pen names including “Yogi Ramacharaka,” "Swami Bhakta Vishita" and “Swami Panchadasi.” His books include Thought Vibration.
