About the author

Born in St. Louis on November 13, 1874, Warren Hilton was an American writer whose books helped introduce applied psychology to everyday readers. Library and public-domain records connect him with a long run of practical, motivational titles, and biographical listings describe him as both a lawyer and a psychologist.

Hilton is especially associated with works such as Initiative Psychic Energy, Power of Mental Imagery, The Trained Memory, and the multi-volume Applied Psychology. Rather than writing for specialists, he focused on clear, usable ideas about attention, mental training, achievement, and success, which helped make his books widely reprinted and preserved in digital libraries.

He died on August 4, 1958. A suitable confirmed portrait image was not available from the pages reviewed here, so no profile image is included.
