In Happy Warriors, iconic voice of esoteric spirituality Mitch Horowitz provides an enthralling literary survey of the lives and ideas of the most remarkable figures in positive-mind spirituality, opening a fresh window on the history and practice of New Thought. Writing with drama, erudition, and practical, hands-on ideas, Mitch reconsiders popular icons including Napoleon Hill, Neville Goddard, Wallace D. Wattles, Emile Cou , Joseph Murphy, Florence Scovel Shinn, and more. Mitch also writes about deeply influential figures who have never before been historically profiled, including Magic of Believing author Claude M. Bristol, Psycho-Cybernetics author Maxwell Maltz, and remarkable mind-body physician Ainslie Mears. Mitch further captures the work, ideas--and controversies--of socially significant voices including Oral Roberts and Norman Vincent Peale. Happy Warriors is a breakthrough work that reassesses the leading minds of popular metaphysics in a grounded, meticulous, and practical light.
"Mitch is a wonderful bridge connecting these ethereal, misunderstood, eyeroll-y subjects with a great methodology and with a great way of articulating them."--Duncan Trussell, The Duncan Trussell Family Hour "Horowitz effortlessly navigates between believer and critic."--Zack Kruse, Mutant Graveyard, Substack "The thinking man's mage."--Douglas Rushkoff, Team Human
