Alexander Everett (1921–2005) was a British self-improvement and personal development consultant. He was the founder of the company Mind Dynamics, and author of the motivational books ''The Genius Within You'' and ''Inward Bound''.〔 〕 Everett's coursework and teachings had an influence on the human potential movement.〔 〕 Though Mind Dynamics only existed for a few years, it greatly influenced many other forms of companies and self-improvement groups known as Large Group Awareness Training.〔 〕 After Mind Dynamics folded due to the death of its co-owner, William Penn Patrick, and due to investigations on its parent company, Holiday Magic, by the United States government on allegations of pyramid schemes, Everett formed another course called Inward Bound, which he taught in the United States, Europe and Asia. == Early life == Born in England in 1921, Everett was initially inspired by Aldous Huxley's book ''The Perennial Philosophy''. Everett became involved with Christian Science, the Unity School of Christianity, and Rosicrucianism. He also traveled the world in a quest for spirituality and education, visiting Greece, India, and Egypt. Everett also studied Theosophy with Rudolf Steiner. He later settled down in Britain for a while, forming a preparatory school, Pendragon School at Bexhill-on-Sea, in 1950 in Sussex, England.〔 While teaching at the school in Sussex, Everett contracted polio, and was told by his physicians that he would never walk again.〔 〕 Everett believed that he healed himself using the Unity School of Christianity's "Prayer of Faith", by Hannah More Kohaus.〔 In 1953, Everett founded and became the headmaster of Shiplake College at Henley-on-Thames, Oxford, England.〔〔 Everett later acknowledged that the Unity Church had an impact on his development of self-improvement courses including Mind Dynamics, and he incorporated Unity techniques such as the use of silence, focusing on the intuitive inner voice, and affirmations into these practices.〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Alexander Everett」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
