This self-help treatise by prominent New Thought author Christian D. Larson explores the accumulation and preservation of personal power, an essential ingredient in success. Larson defines this management of power as poise, an attitude that prevents the unnecessary loss of vital force. The title page bears the following epigraph: "A genius is slumbering in the subconscious of every mind. This genius can be awakened."

Christian D. Larson was a prominent representative of the New Thought movement and the author of more than 20 books covering many aspects of self-development. In this compact tract, Larson provides a trenchant examination of the basic principles of concentration and a straightforward plan for its development in the individual.

And since man can change both himself and his actions, he can determine what his fate is to be.

Samotný císař pochopitelně své nové, neexistující šaty nevidí, ale předstírá opak, aby si lidé nemysleli, že je hloupý či neschopný.
