Author Sherry Evans applys her years of study in Astronomy, Physics, and Philosophy to The Roads To Truth: In Search of New Thought's Roots, a serious treatise concerning the nature of New Thought. Discussing concepts ranging from the self-fulfilling prophecy and psychosomatic illness to the concept of God being within each one of us and all of nature, to the bases for successful and happy living that underlie so many varients of "pop" psychology, The Roads To Truth examines the common thread between all these occurances--the acknowledgement of the paramount importance our thoughts play within our lives. Thought is of supreme importance, to the extent that it defines life and the self; thought is the foundation of churches, a power with the ability to heal physical and psychological ailments, and the driving force behind successful lives and careers. The Roads To Truth combines the science of mental healing and the wisdom of numerous philosophies to lay out the wisdom of New Thought. Among the varied paths to enlightenment are the path of rebellion, the path of the intellectuals, and the esoteric path, yet all lead to a merged understanding governed by rules such as "the law of cause and effect" (positive thoughts bring positive effects, negative thoughts bring negative effects) and "the law of attraction" (we attract what we expect into our lives, whether positive or negative) and much more. A welcome contribution to self-help shelves as surely as metaphysical and new age shelves, as the philosophy discussed allows one to better know oneself on the purest level--that of one's own thoughts.
