FOREWORD
I COUÉ'S NANCY PRACTICE
II THE NATURE OF AUTOSUGGESTION
III THE PRACTICE OF AUTOSUGGESTION
Drawing on the early twentieth‑century work of a French physician, this compact guide distills the principle of autosuggestion into everyday language. It argues that the mind already possesses a natural power to reshape habits, moods, and even minor ailments, provided we learn to direct its quiet voice.
The author walks the reader through a handful of practical exercises, recommending a few minutes of calm repetition each day while the will rests, then showing how to harness active will elsewhere without strain. Clear examples illustrate how simple phrases can replace self‑criticism with confidence, offering a step‑by‑step routine that anyone can try at home.
Placed alongside conventional medical care rather than opposed to it, the method appeals to people of any belief system who feel trapped by their own imperfections. Its tone is modest and encouraging, making it a useful companion for anyone seeking a gentle, psychologically grounded boost to wellbeing.
