Frank Channing Haddock

Frank Channing Haddock

Frank Channing Haddock (1853-1915) was an influential New Thought and self-help author, best known for his series, "The Power-Book Library."

Early life and career

Frank Channing Haddock was born November 17th, 1853 in Watertown, New York. His parents were the Methodist minister George C. Haddock and Cornelia B. Herrick Haddock. After graduation from St. Lawrence University in 1876 he first undertook training for the Methodist ministry but decided instead upon the field of law, and was admitted to the bar in 1881. He moved to Milwaukee, Wisconsin, where he established himself as an attorney. In 1887, after his father was assassinated in Sioux City, Iowa due to his connection to the temperance movement, Frank Haddock returned to the church, and worked as a minister in Iowa, Ohio, and Massachusetts.

New Thought writings

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.

End of life

Frank Haddock died in Meriden, Connecticut on February 9th, 1915, at the age of 62. The cause of death was meningitis, at that time a virtually untreatable disease. He was just completing his final work, the “Creative Personality” at the time, and it was published posthumously.
