Frank Channing Haddock




Influential Early Self-Help Writer

Frank Channing Haddock (1853-1915) was born November 17th, 1853 in Watertown, New York of the well known Methodist preacher George C. Haddock and the former Cornelia B. Herrick. He graduated from St. Lawrence University in 1876 (with “high rank” and as the class poet), and entered the Methodist ministry but left that to take up law, being admitted to the bar in 1881, practiced in Milwaukee and was a well known legal writer.

In 1887, he returned to the ministry (after his father’s assassination for temperance work), preaching in Iowa, Ohio and Massachusetts. He then retired from the ministry to take up writing again where he became a famous author and lecturer on ethics, philosophy, spirituality and empowerment.

His primary work is captured in the Power-Book Library comprised of the "Power of Will," "Power for Success," "The Personal Atmosphere," "Business Power," "The Culture of Courage," "Practical Psychology" and "Creative Personality". He died in Merriden, Conn on February 9th, 1915 of meningitis while completing his last work, the “Creative Personality.

Haddock retired from the ministry to become a writer. As a New Thought author and lecturer, he became well known for his teachings on will power, cultivation of the will, ethics, financial and business success, philosophy, and spirituality. Like his contemporaries William Walker Atkinson and Charles F. Haanel, he exemplified the more secular and less overtly religious side of the New Thought movement.”
