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.
