The Short Cut: Regeneration Through FastingEverything you've always wanted can be yours, simply through the discipline acquired via self-denial. So went the thinking of the first "New Age" thinkers of the popular occult movement of the early 20th century. This 1928 book imparts all the wisdom of the New Psychology on the subject of fasting: the benefits of physical, mental, and emotional fasting, and the right way to fast in order to maximize those benefits. This intriguing document of early self-help and motivational philosophies will fascinate those seeking a little-trod path to enlightenment today. American doctor and writer JULIA SETON, M.D. (1862-1950) is also the author of Destiny, a New Thought Novel (1917), The Key to Health, Wealth and Love (1917), The Science of Success (1914), and Helpful Thoughts (1926). |
