Emma Curtis Hopkins was a lady who lived a long time ago and wanted to help people feel better about themselves and their lives. She believed that everyone had the power inside of them to be happy and successful, they just needed to learn how to use it.
To teach people this, Emma used something called "New Thought" which is a way of thinking and believing that focuses on positivity and the idea that our thoughts and feelings create our reality. For example, if someone thinks negative thoughts all the time, they might end up being sad or angry a lot. But if they think positive thoughts and believe in themselves, they might feel happy and successful.
Emma wrote a lot of books and gave classes to help people learn about New Thought and how to use it in their own lives. She also started a school where people could learn more about these ideas and become teachers themselves.
Even though Emma lived a long time ago, her ideas are still helpful to people today who want to think positively and create a better life for themselves.
