"The Golden Key" by Emmet Fox is a concise, influential piece that encapsulates the essence of New Thought principles, offering a straightforward, practical method for dealing with challenges and achieving a sense of peace and fulfillment. In this essay, Fox suggests that the solution to any problem lies not in obsessing over the issue itself but in turning one's thoughts towards God or a universal higher power. This mental shift, according to Fox, has the power to change one's perspective and bring about solutions in a natural, harmonious way. The work is celebrated for its simplicity, brevity, and the profound impact it has had on readers seeking spiritual guidance and practical ways to overcome adversity. Fox's message is timeless, advocating for a form of mental discipline that encourages positive thinking, faith, and the relinquishment of negative, problem-centric thought patterns.

"One of those books that underpins a whole genre - this was a book that influenced C S Lewis as a teenager and set him on his path of fantasy writing. It's somewhat Victorian in language and thought, but still, quite something. "
