One of many books on mind powers and the supernatural that Theron Q. Dumont wrote, The Psychology of Personal Magnetism is an explanation and guide for using your mind to influence and affect others, in a positive way. Dumont (aka Atkinson) instructs readers not to be selfish with their powers of persuasion, but to develop them for good. Within, he covers how to develop mental and physical power, how to develop magnetism and its affects, how to avoid unwanted or hurtful attraction, and how to use personal magnetism to approach and encourage love and marriage. THERON Q. DUMONT is an alias and pen name of American writer WILLIAM WALKER ATKINSON (1862-1932), editor of the popular magazine New Thought from 1901 to 1905, and editor of the journal Advanced Thought from 1916 to 1919. He authored dozens of New Thought books under numerous pseudonyms, including "Yogi," some of which are likely still unknown today.
