TO ALL IN CONFLICT WITH THEIR OWN IMPERFECTIONS THIS LITTLE BOOK IS DEDICATED
PREFACE TO THE AMERICAN EDITION To my American readers a special word of gratitude is due for their
generosity to this little book. I hope that it has given them as much
encouragement and help as they have given me. In America, the home of so many systems of mental healing, it is
perhaps even more necessary than in Europe to insist on the distinctive
features of M. Coué's teaching. It is based, not on transcendental or
mystical postulates, but on the simple and acknowledged facts of
psychology. This does not mean that it has no relation to religion.
On the contrary it has a very close one. Indeed I hope in a future
volume to point out its deep significance for the Christian churches.
But that relationship remains in M. Coué's teaching unexpressed. The
powers he has revealed are part of the natural endowment of the human
mind. Therefore they are available to all men, independently of
adherence or non adherence to any sect or creed. The method of M. Coué is in no sense opposed to the ordinary practice
of medicine. It is not intended to supplant it but to supplement it.
It is a new ally, bringing valuable reinforcements to the common
crusade against disease and unhappiness. Induced Autosuggestion does not involve, as several hasty critics have
assumed, an attack upon the Will. It simply teaches that during the
actual formulation of suggestions, that is for a few minutes daily, the
Will should be quiescent. At other times the exercise of the Will is
encouraged; indeed we are shown how to use it properly, that is without
friction or waste of energy. C. H. B. 19 October , 1922.
AUTHOR'S PREFACE The discoveries of Emile Coué are of such moment for the happiness and
efficiency of the individual life that it is the duty of anyone
acquainted with them to pass them on to his fellows. The lives of many men and women are robbed of their true value by
twists and flaws of character and temperament, which, while defying the
efforts of the will, would yield rapidly to the influence of
autosuggestion. Unfortunately, the knowledge of this method has
hitherto been available in England only in the somewhat detailed and
technical work of Professor Charles Baudouin, and in a small pamphlet,
printed privately by M. Coué, which has not been publicly exposed for
sale. To fill this gap is the aim of the following pages. They are
designed to present to the layman in non technical form the information
necessary to enable him to practise autosuggestion for himself. All readers who wish to obtain a deeper insight into the theoretical
basis of autosuggestion are recommended to study Professor Baudouin's
fascinating work, Suggestion and Autosuggestion . Although in these
pages there are occasional divergences from Professor Baudouin's views,
his book remains beyond question the authoritative statement on the
subject; indeed it is hardly possible without it to form an adequate
idea of the scope of autosuggestion. My own indebtedness to it in
writing this little volume is very great... Continue reading book >>
