"Dynamic Thought; Or, The Law of Vibrant Energy" by William Walker Atkinson is a book about the odd union of ancient occult teachings to the most advanced and latest concepts of modern science. The book discusses higher levels of thinking and development, completely separate planes of the mind, and how natural forces and the law of attraction can influence our actions or how anyone acts toward us. This book, like much of his work, is intended for students of philosophical and psychological thought.

William Walker Atkinson (1862–1932) was a pioneering figure in the early 20th-century New Thought movement, a system of beliefs centered around the concept that the mind holds the key to unlocking personal power and spiritual enlightenment. Atkinson pursued a career in law before a profound personal, mental, and physical health crisis led him to explore the realms of mental power and its potential for healing and personal growth. After his recovery, Atkinson turned to the study and practice of mental science and spirituality, becoming an influential writer, editor, and publisher in the field of New Thought and related philosophies.

Atkinson was a prolific author, penning numerous books under his own name and various pseudonyms. One of his significant works is 'Dynamic Thought; Or, The Law of Vibrant Energy,' which explores the concept that energy and matter are controlled by the power of thought. In this book, Atkinson discusses the metaphysical principles behind the functioning of the universe and human consciousness, blending Eastern and Western philosophical thought. His literary style is marked by clear, didactic prose aimed at providing practical instruction on harnessing the mind's potential. Atkinson's contribution to New Thought and his influence on later generations of metaphysical and self-help authors is considerable, and his works continue to be studied by those interested in the powers of the mind.
