Personal Magnetism
The Art and Science of Personal Magnetism
I take pleasure in presenting to many American students who will acquire possession
of copies of this book, these practical lessons on the art and science of
Personal Magnetism. These chapters contain the gist of the lessons taught be me,
in classes, and to individuals, in my courses of personal instruction conducted by
me, here in Paris, for the past eighteen years.
In my personal class work, of course, I adapt the instruction to the special requirements
of my individual students, which I cannot do in the case of general
lessons in printed form. But, notwithstanding this, I feel that I have condensed
into these pages the essence of my methods, and principles of practice, so that
any student of average intelligence may readily grasp, assimilate, and apply the
same with success, at least, I feel that if the student does not accomplish this, it
will be his or her own fault, not that of myself.
In introducing this book, I with to express my obligations to Mr. L. N. D., an
American student of mine, here in Paris, who has kindly transformed my rather
stilted “guidebook English” into the plain, simple form desirable for a book designed
for the general public. I feel particularly indebted to him for supplying the
idiomatic, American “man on the street” terms, thus reproducing the conversational
style which I use in all my lessons in French, but which my “book English”
rendered impossible in this case without the kindly assistance of this worthy gentleman.
With hand on heart, I send to my new American audience the sincere regards,
and most earnest wishes for success, of
Their solicitous teacher,

A couple of interesting points, but it had a strange atmosphere of the occult around it. People of a rational/logical bent of mind will need to take a leap of faith in order to follow this book. Some familiarity with Napoleon Hill's "Think and Grow Rich" will help, as both authors use the same concepts and some of the same terminology as well.

Aku tidak mengerti, kenapa buku rumit yang sukar dipahami dan cenderung diberikan rating rendah (karena terjemahannya mempusingkan) bisa membuatku menyukainya. Topik-topik berat, kemudian disusul kalimat keseharian membuat buku ini nyaman dibaca. Cover buku di series ini sangat bagus, bahkan harga yang affordable sangat memungkinkan kita memiliki semua serinya. Buku ini bisa jadi terapi untuk orang yang punya masalah dengan sosialnya. Banyak penyadaran lainnya untukku, seperti untuk mengategorikan hal positif dan negatif, dan hanya melakukan yang positif, kemudian jika kita tidak bisa memberikan pengaruh daya tarik kuat, kita bisa menyangkal bila tak bisa mempengaruhi. Semua juga sesederhana jika kita melawan balik kalimat atau tindakan buruk yang selama ini kita lakukan.
Aku hanya menyayangkan kutipan profesor atau riset yang terlalu sukar dibaca sehingga kepala jadi makin pusing. Namun, bisa diatasi dengan melewatkannya ke kalimat berikutnya. Kemudian, fakta bahwa ada hal yang tidak bisa kita lawan dalam kehidupan sehari-hari: orang berbadan besar, punya senjata, daya Tarik dan mental ini akan mudah ciut dan tidak bisa dipraktekkan, kecuali hanya menyangkal.

Dubious claims,confirmation bias, and placebo are littered throughout, but certain aspects such as the “flash” exercise (self-affirmations repackaged) are worth hearing described in a different manner than usual.

idk, at first i was really interested in this book. but with time goes on, it's getting boring and there's just smth weird with the occult and stuff, so i just stopped reading it. also there are several words which were hard to understand for me.

The middle chapters about hypnotism didn't interest me, but much of the rest was right on.
Worth investing a couple of spare hours in this.
