This is an astonishing book. If you can get your hands on her dissertation (it's in ProQuest) it's even better (this is an adaptation). This book discusses the New Thought movement that has become the basis of everything from positive thinking, to mind-over-matter, to power of thought, to law of attraction, and more. Most of the modern works point back to the period researched here as their source of authority, but in this book we learn that our cultural context has changed so much that current authors and readers fundamentally don't understand those foundational works. It's an astonishing revelation, and very surprising given that we're only 100 years removed, in the same culture, and have almost identical language. Highly recommended. A true masterpiece.
When I began to read "Each Mind a Kingdom", I soon realized that it was that dreaded genre--the doctoral dissertation made flesh.I expected the worst sort of academic exercise, in both senses of the word, and read on only because the book had a great cover and I am fascinated with New Thought ideas.But "Each Mind a Kingdom" is anything but a dry academic tome.It's as alive as a novel, and full of ideas and opinions. It's rather like going to a movie like "My Dinner with Andre", in which the author sets up ideas with scenarios, and then allows the ideas to subtly hover.I'm not saying that I found everything in "Each Mind a Kingdom" to be a plethora of positions with which I agreed. Indeed, in many cases, I felt that Dr. Satter over-eggs the pudding, and draws conclusions beyond her citations, and, in some cases, dismisses as "ambiguous" or "unclear" those authorities which do not fit her premise. I found the omission of Elizabeth Delvine King's work, whose "purity new thought" ideas would not fit the author's "chronology" of the rise and fall of the "purity" movement, to be puzzling, and the near-dismissal of the Unity School and Religious Science to be curious in light of the far greater mainstream impact each movement had upon the culture than many of the people whom the author covers in detail.Still, this book merits reading because it is a narrative voice making important points from fascinating subject matter. She introduced me to thinkers with whose work I was less familiar. More importantly, she tackles the gender rhetoric of early New Thought writings, particularly that by women, and examines the impact of the competing ways of looking at things on the broad culture.Dr. Satter has three to five books of material in this work, and it is in some senses a shame that she tries to do so much.Her conclusory points about Freud and modern self-help,each interesting, appear to be "toss ins" to try to "add relevance" to a work which needs no such effort.But this is a fundamentally satisfying work, even though it is not free of flaws, because it has a rich sweep of ideas and characters better suited to a wonderful set of novels than to a single tome about gender imagery in New Thought. One might wish (as I do) that Dr. Satter adopted a style a little less quick to jump to conclusions and a little more willing to consider the rhetorical and metaphoric value of gender terminology (rather than the more mechanical, if fascinating,angle she takes).But nonetheless, the work simply fascinates--it's a good read, with many troubling and promising lines of analysis.Dr. Satter's explorations all prove quite interesting, and well worth reading, although some of her conclusions are notions with which I could not disagree more. This is perhaps a mark of a good book, though--you can dissent from the author's point of view, and yet still like the work.I encourage anyone who wishes to understand the turn of the 20th Century to read this work, which offers ideas which will be both controversial, sometimes perhaps even unacceptable, but always fascinating. Well done. I wish that every dissertation read so well.
Great book. Quickly shipped. Thank you.
A goldmine of little known information about lack of women's rights
This is a great book. I have not been able to stop reading. It does indeed read like a good novel. You will find that it explains a great deal about our Victorian heritage and some of the ideas that have shaped the present. Fascinating!
The book offers some fresh insight into the early development of the New Thought movement. Unfortunately the Kindle edition is marred by poor OCR and does not appear to have been edited.
This is a fascinating study of how 19th century theories of explicit White Supremacy and the White Race's ostensible need to "evolve to the next level" to continue and expand its world domination...instead evolved unto the present into modern psychology, womens' liberation, the Social Gospel, New Age beliefs and religions, scientology, inner child/self/peace/divine movements, 12-stepism, affirmations, western meditation, and Positive Thinking Christianity.A rather odd debt the 21st century (see Oprah and President Obama's choice to give the benediction at his own inauguration) owes to overtly rejected beliefs from the 19th century, but there (and here) it is.
