Awaken the Inner Power is a concise work of New Thought spirituality, centered on the disciplined use of imagination, will, and constructive thought as instruments for self-mastery. Written in a direct, exhortative style, it combines practical metaphysical instruction with the moral seriousness characteristic of early twentieth-century mind-power literature. The book belongs to a tradition that treats consciousness not as passive reflection but as a creative force, urging readers to align desire, faith, and action. Geneviève Behrend was one of the most influential interpreters of Thomas Troward, whose metaphysical teachings on mental causation profoundly shaped her work. As a lecturer and writer, she translated abstract principles into accessible methods for personal transformation. Her own career, marked by study, teaching, and an evident confidence in the educability of the inner life, helps explain the book's emphasis on training thought rather than merely wishing for change. This book is recommended for readers interested in the intellectual roots of modern self-development, manifestation, and spiritual psychology. Those seeking a brief but earnest guide to inward discipline will find Behrend's work both historically important and practically suggestive.
