Warren Felt Evans was an American author of the New Thought movement and the founder of a mind-cure sanitarium in Salisbury, Massachusetts. . He became a student of the movement in 1863, after seeking healing from its founder, Phineas P. Quimby. Evans was the first to write about the New Thought movement begun by Quimby and was the only important figure, aside from Mrs. Eddy, who attempted to work out a consistent and philosophically supported system of metaphysical healing and mental healing after Quimby. He wrote the first effective literature that was foundational for a broad, diffuse American quasi-religious episode begun in the last quarter of the nineteenth-century, still flourishing today.
