"In this important book, Harv Bishop and his collaborators have made a powerful case for a revitalized and reinvigorated spirituality that changes perspectives and lives." -Randy Sotherland
"Bishop’s book is for everyone, whether you are new to the idea of using the power of your mind to create your world, or you are a long-time seeker of the teachings of New Thought." -Royce Christyn
New Thought is a uniquely American DIY spirituality that celebrates the human ability to shape reality through the power of thought and positive thinking. Its philosophy has been popularized by writers such as Deepak Chopra and Wayne Dyer.
This is a comprehensive introduction to emerging fresh ideas that celebrates New Thought’s strengths and asks tough questions about its limitations. The leading edge voices in New Thought included in this collection recognize that its teachings change lives for the better, but also are used to shame those who are ill or poor for creating their circumstances through negative thinking .
New Thought evolution rejects dogma, welcomes questioning and debate, and most of all wants to bring the thought back to New Thought. Newcomers and veterans alike can explore ways to use the best of New Thought teachings and leave outdated baggage behind.
Praise for New Thought evolution
New Thought evolution serves a dual purpose: it is both an instruction manual for the future of New Thought and an injection of much-needed fresh ideas about a topic where many feel they have heard it all before. It brings together many voices who unify to ask the question, “where does New Thought go from here?”. The answer is for you, the reader, to discover, as you undoubtedly will after reading this fantastic anthology.
-Royce Christyn, author of Suddenly Right, forthcoming from Inner Traditions
New Thought evolution is a deep-dive of a book, delving into the issues surrounding not only New Thought, but the future of spirituality in modern Western Culture. We do not live in the answers, we live in the questions. Harv Bishop is asking the right questions and inviting us all along on a journey of exploration. Everyone interested in New Thought spirituality should accept the invitation.
-Rev. Dr. Jim Lockard, New Thought Evolutionary blog and author of The Beloved Community
In his blog Harv Bishop’s intelligent and reasoned approach is to provide seekers and practitioners of all backgrounds with a space to convene, discuss, debate and grow. His new anthology New Thought evolution, continues in that tradition. The book is masterfully crafted. The passion of Harv and his contributors shines through. They live the philosophies they write about, question and defend.

Like every great spiritual movement, New Thought now stands at a crossroad. Will it become the powerful spiritual and intellectual force it could be or fade into obscurity? And, not just why New Thought must undergo a evolution, but also how it could again be the influential movement that shaped American religious and spiritual history.
-Randy Southerland, writer and Religious Science spiritual practitioner.
