F.W. Sears




Pioneer New Thought Psychologist

Franklin Warren Sears held a Master of Psychology and was the author of “The Books Without an If” series in the early 20th century. Through his books, correspondence courses, as well as by personal counselling, he was able to help a great many people overcome everyday difficulties of all kinds.

For twelve years between 1902 and 1914 F.W. Sears was married to influential New Thought leader Julia Seton M.D., who gave him a grounding in New Thought teachings and philosophy, after which he branched out to become a successful New Thought lecturer and writer in his own right.

Dr. Sears' philosophy as taught in “The Books Without an If.” introduced the concept of the Law of Harmonious Attraction, under which things come to us because they want to come and not because we make them come; they remain with us because they want to do so. In his most widely read book, "How To Attract Success" Sears explains the Law of Harmonious Attraction in great detail.

This law has become the foundation for much of the booming self-help industry in the world. F.W. Sears was a pioneer in the field of self-help writing and teaching and his theories remain as relevant decades after his death as they were at the time of his writings in the 1910s and 1920s.

Dr. Sears does not quote any “authorities” for any of his statements. The highest authority any soul can possibly have is its own God-self and it is this God-self in you which the proper and persistent study and application of Dr. Sears lessons will bring out into greater expression, and thus enable you to set the new causes in motion which will bring you success along any line you may desire.

Regarding "The Sears Philosophy" and the "real" psychology as taught in his books, he has this to say....

"To understand this Law of Force and its manipulation by the power of concentration with man's mental faculties is what the schools, colleges and universities of the world teach as 'psychology.' It is no more real psychology than black is white.

Just as black is the absence of all color while white is the harmonious union of all color, so is the 'psychology' of the schools, colleges and universities of the world the absence of all real psychology because such teachings are limited only to the physical and mental planes.

Real psychology is the union of all planes of consciousness manifesting in one perfect and harmonious whole, under the Law of Harmony."

Dr. Sears had proven for himself everything he taught. He knew that everything he says in his books is true, and you can know it too but you will have to apply the lessons and prove them for yourself.
