Christie L. Russell · Annotated Editions
Read the originals — with the missing context
These New Thought classics were written a century ago. The authors were right about almost everything — they just didn't have the neuroscience to explain why. Christie's annotations add that layer back in.
What makes these editions different
The original text, plus the science that explains it
Neuroscience annotations
Each passage that describes mental or emotional process is annotated with its modern neurological equivalent — RAS, theta states, neuroplasticity, somatic memory.
NLP & CBT commentary
Where the classic teaching maps onto a clinical technique — reframing, behavioural experiments, linguistic priming — the annotation names it and explains why it works.
Immediately actionable
Christie's notes turn inspiration into instruction. You understand not just what the author said but exactly what to do with it — and why it will work for you.

About the annotator
Christie L. Russell
Christie discovered New Thought over thirty years ago and spent decades bridging the gap between the classics and modern practice through NLP, CBT, and somatic work. Her annotated editions are the book she always wished existed — the original text, fully illuminated.
