Geneviève Behrend

Geneviève Behrend (1881 in Paris – 1960 in United States) was a French-born author and teacher of Mental Science, a New Thought discipline taught by Thomas Troward.

There is little known about her early life except that one of her parents was Scottish. She later wrote in her book Your Invisible Power that she found a book of Thomas Troward's lectures. In about six weeks, she received the money.

After her studies with Troward she founded a New Thought school called The School of the Builders in approximately 1915 in New York City, running it herself until 1925. She then founded another New Thought school in Los Angeles, after which she traveled throughout North America lecturing on mental science and New Thought for 35 years, as well as giving radio broadcasts.

She is quoted as an expert in the best-selling self-help book The Secret by Rhonda Byrne.
