Self Mastery Through Conscious Autosuggestion is a book by French psychologist Emile Coué, first published in 1922. The book discusses the practice of autosuggestion and the ways in which it can help you in your daily life. The author was known for introducing it as a method of psychotherapy and self-improvement. Together with his wife, he founded the Lorraine Society of Applied Psychology in 1903. His teachings were very popular in Europe during his lifetime, but later became widespread in America, with people like Napoleon Hille Norman Vincent Peale becoming famous themselves by spreading Coué's words. The method he used - that of a mantra repeated many times a day (Every day, in every way, I am getting better and better) is known as the Coué method, and while the author always emphasised that he was not a healer, he did make the claim that he effected organic changes through autosuggestion. Coué was convinced that, because of the way our mental organisation worked, we seemed to have two minds, each endowed with attributes and powers and able to act independently of the other. His methods can be linked with the law of attraction, as they were based on the basis that any idea that exclusively occupies the mind, becomes reality - within the realms of the possible.
The book covers these principles, as well as including some letters from his patients who were treated using this method of autosuggestion.
