Ralph Waldo Trine was born in 1866 in Mount Morris, Illinois. Educated in history and political science, he began writing in his 30s. First published in 1897, In Tune with the Infinite went on to sell over 2 million copies, and is considered the seminal book in “New Thought”. Fans of Trine’s included none other than Henry Ford, who was so enamored with the book that he gave copies away to his friends!
