About the author

Sydney Blanshard Flower (1867–1943) began his career as a journalist and later became closely associated with Herbert A. Parkyn and the Chicago School of Psychology. He worked as a publicist and business manager while helping promote a practical, non-mystical approach to hypnotism and suggestive therapeutics.

Flower wrote Hypnotism Up to Date and A Study in Hypnotism, both published in 1896, and edited The Hypnotic Magazine from 1896 to 1897. He went on to promote the wider New Thought movement through publishing and periodical work, presenting psychology, self-suggestion, and mental healing in an accessible style for general readers.
