About the Work

How to Stay Well - New Thought, 1866-1954

Larson applies his optimism and mental development principles to physical health, arguing that consistent right thought creates the internal conditions for sustained wellbeing.

The Science Behind It

Larson's prolific optimism-based approach is the closest New Thought comes to positive psychology as a formal discipline. His emphasis on the 'promise yourself' principle maps to self-compassion research - treating yourself as you would a good friend is one of the most evidence-backed interventions for sustained positive change. His insistence on consistency over intensity anticipates what we now know about neuroplasticity: small repeated actions create stronger and more durable neural pathways than occasional dramatic ones.
