Summary: Great Book - Simple Effective Methods
Review: Another reviewer mentioned that the techniques outlined in this book are nothing new - I agree. This book definitely appeals to me because Dr. Murphy has taken universal or spriritual laws and explained them in a very simple manner. Dr. Murphy teaches the reader how to apply techniques such as autosuggestion. His clear, simple and practical methods motivated me to begin and continue to apply these techniques daily. I can truthfully say that by day and by night I am being prospered in all of my interests. You'll like this book if you enjoyed Napoleon Hill's Think And Grow Rich. Many of the same pricipals can be found in Murphy's Power. I'm interested in corresponding with individuals that are applying the techniques in this book and seeing favorable results.

Summary: A paraphrased watered down version of PsychoCybernetics
Review: Basically the author read "PsychoCybernetics" written by Maxwell Maltz in 1960 and attempted to paraphrase the entire book (while leaving out critical details). It's a cheap watered down carbon copy that even occassionally plagarizes the original. If you want to read the best book ever written about the subconscious mind and circumvent all of the silly new age garbage (I.E. This book claims that the Biblical term "LORD" is actually referring to our subconscious mind.?) then pickup a copy of PsychoCybernetics. It is much better.

Summary: Learn the Power of Your Own Thought
Review: This book is a great introduction to Murphy's simplified instructions on how to understand the way your mind works. We all know that our thoughts are tied into our actions, but most of us never consider that changing our thoughts can change our environment. But once we understand this, we can use it to our advantage. All of Murphy's books are quite easy to read -- and they are not just your typical "positive thinking" fare. The difference is that Murphy's approach is not only simple, it is scientific. When using Murphy's techniques, some people have amazing results right away. Others take longer. I have had victories and setbacks, but I am basically much better off in less than a year and I am certain if I pursue these methods I can make even more improvements.

Summary: Classic!
Review: My original copy has been read so many times that the front cover finally came off! While I don't agree with EVERYthing Mr. Murphy put in this book, I'm simply amazed that there is so much good stuff that can be used and practiced. The techniques can be used in conjunction with just about any sort of Mind Science type of material from NLP to Huna to Quantum Physics to Silva Mind Control. A good companion volume would be Jess Stearn's _Alpha Thinking_ which is another variation on the Silva Mind Control method.

Summary: 1 0f 3 MUST HAVE BOOKS!!!!!
Review: Im sure everyone has a bible. What you need on top of that is Think and Grow Rich, and this book.
This book has the most how-to than any book i've ever read.
Think and grow rich has the formula to get rich, but is vague on how exactly to use the formula.
Thats why this book is a must-have. The author breaks it down so readable and within a few chapters you are able to apply some techniques. It really taught me how to use my mind to talk to myself.
I got results after only a couple days.

Summary: The best $7.99 I've ever spent.
Review: I completely agree with the other 5-star reviewers. Buy this book! I read it once then went back and reread it with a yellow highlighter. I've tabbed the pages. I carry it with me and refer to it nearly every day. I've ordered copies for friends and family. This book provided the 'light bulb' (Ah ha!) that had previously eluded me.... now, suddenly, finally, I understand. The book is really all about the science of mind. The subconscious is your gateway to the universal mind. The author tells you how to access that power to achieve happiness, health, abundance, etc. Meditation, self hypnosis, and/or prayer play a part. He also gives insight into why things don't always work out the way you want them to (relax, forgive, believe). Some of the examples are pretty goofy but they help make the point.

Summary: A Timeless Classic that Holds True Today
Review: Although originally produced over 40 years ago, this version was updated in the Year 2000. The book is broken down into chapters on Wealth, Health, and Relationships among others. There are good examples of affirmations in each chapter, but I think that it is best to customize your own affirmations, using the examples in the book as guidelines. Although controlling your own thoughts through the use of affirmations is a central principle in this book, there is also some good information here with respect to the impact of negative thoughts as well. The book makes good use of real-life examples which serve to illustrate the central principles. I have read many works on positive thinking and the use of affirmations, but this is one of the best since it explains the flip-side of negativity and unforgiveness that can sabotage your efforts to improve yourself. This aspect sets the book apart from the others. It is also a very smooth and readable resource that goes by quickly, unlike others that can be a struggle to finish.

Summary: BUY IT, PRACTICE IT, SHARE IT
Review: This book has some many positive reviews that the only thing that I can do is to offer an enthusiastic testimony that the techniques described to achieve/obtain whatever one wants really work for me.
The only variant I use is doing it in hypnologic/meditative state, and using more modern prayers/affirmation creating my own rhythmic slogans, but keeping a strong conviction/faith and emotion while praying/affirming, as recommended.
This is not an academic book, it ONLY pretends to give people access to an INCREDIBLE POWER but is miserably and dogmatic criticized because of some possible literal misquotations (depending of what are the sources/translation), while the meanings still the same. Is this enough for not grabing what ever may be wanted? Somebody is missing a lot....or maybe he does not needs/wants more in life.
I can see people trapped by the conscious analytical mind not willing to submit control to the subconscious (or being affraid of the power, it is better to ignore it).
It is easy to appreciate why the negative and under rate reviews from people that not being convinced will never put in practice. How could it be otherwise? Could it be called prayer/affirmation if done without faith/conviction?
Even if the techniques are practiced, but without faith/conviction they will never work, on the contrary, they will reinforce the contrary effect desired. the idea is not to cheat the subcouncious which is impossible, but it is possible to increase one's own conviction/faith due to the tangible results obtained using the techniques recommended to have the subcouncious mind produce them.
You do not need to give a try, just do it.
There is not limit, believe me.
I'm giving this book as present to every person I can imagine can take vantage of this teaching.

Summary: Brilliant book.
Review: This is one of the greatest books ever written. I have been using the methods for 20 years and have bought this book for many people. I recently read Optimal Thinking:--How To Be Your Best Self and I have to tell you that it is the next step past positive thinking. Train your mind with Optimal Thinking and you won't have to settle for second best!
