David Manners was a successful movie star in the 1930’s. He starred in films such as Journey’s End, The Last Flight, Dracula, The Mummy, and The Black Cat. He was also a founding member of the Screen Actors Guild. At the peak of his success, however, Manners suddenly
left Hollywood and acting forever. After Manners left acting, his focus turned inward. He began searching for personal healing from his childhood issues, from his sexuality, and from his Hollywood experiences. Though he probably didn’t recognize this fact until much later in
life, Manners was also looking for self-acceptance. The Wonder Within You: From the Metaphysical Journals of David Manners is a collection of Manners’ numerous newsletter works and regular
Journal entries that he wrote over the years. These
pieces range from short comments on life to longer pieces that detail methodology. For those that haven’t read Manners’ books on Spirituality and Metaphysics, this
