Brown Landone was one of the first neurologists in the United States. He was also the first to show that there are a number of brain centers in our bodies, not just the one in our skill. For example, there is a brain center near our heart and one near our gut. In 1895, he organized the first boy's activities in the YMCA. In 1905, he was executive chairman for a group of one hundred educators from seventeen different countries for the "New Educational Movement." Then, in 1914, he became director of the Institute of Science and the Arts in Paris. A year later, the President of France appointed him to be special ambassador for France to the U.S.

In 1917, he published the seven-volume, "The History of Civilization," as Editor-in-Chief. He would go on to publish over a hundred books and booklets. This includes his book, "Soul Catalysts and How to Use Them," that is drawn from in this book, "The Spiritual Flow of Life And the Science of Catalysts.".
