Think Yourself Rich : Use the Power of Y

I started off by reading Joseph Murphy's " The Power of Your Subconscious Mind" a few years ago, the blue and white cover edition, not the nicer Penguin books (green and white cover) edition, both sold on Amazon. Recently I took an interest in reading more of Murphy's book, because I mostly only heard of The PYSM (for short), and wasn't aware that there were at least 5 or six other prominent works from Murphy including the Miracle of Mind Dynamics, Infinite Power to Be Rich, and Think Yourself To Health, Wealth... Bottom line, this book Think Yourself Rich, is probably my favorite Joseph Murphy book, even over The PYSM, Murphy is probably at or near the top of my favorite prosperity authors along with Ernest Holmes, Robert Collier, and Charles Haanel. However, in this book, Murphy seems to quickly and succinctly sum up many of the ideas he presents in the PYSM, however he backs them up with actual examples of clients or students that he had helped over the years, and makes a compelling case for the power of positive thinking, and why for many people the LOA (Law of Attraction) doesn't seem to work the way they expect it to. Alll of the books released in the Penguin Classic (the solid colors on top, whitte on the bottom) series are very nice books quality wise, and my understanding is that they have been authorized by Joseph Murphy foundation, as updated re-releases of his works. My ONLY gripe or PET peeve, is that most of these books have been MODERNIZED with more up-to-date examples: what do I mean? 1) In this book there and the rest in this series, there are several stories that Jospeph Murphy tells of students or people that he has counseled that are working in certain career fields, he will tell a story of this guy X, or this women Y, works in this industry or career, etc etc, with the new versions many of these careers have been changed from what were probably traditional career fields at the time for men and women (the original copyright is in 1972) of maybe secretaries, people working in industry etc, to all of sudden these people being web-designers, internet stock investors, etc. It doesn't change the content of the examples but it is annoying in the sense that you know there was no way Murphy included these careers in his original work, he passed away before these careers where even around. There is a similar example in Charles Haanel's Master Key System where one edition has him talking about VCRs and Computers, his book WAS WRITTEN in th 1930s, anyway sorry for the caps but I think that sometimes this attempt to MODERNIZE these works takes away from the original content, even if some of the original content does reflect the typical racial and sexual attitudes of people at that time, you see some of this in Robert Collier's work and Napolean Hill. Anyway I do highly recommend this book, The PYSM, and The Miracle of Mind Dynamics for anyone who wants to get their feet wet with Joseph Murphy's work!

This one another great book of the psychologist cum minister Dr.Joseph Murphy. In this book also, he as usual gives the down to earth methods for self improvement, happy living with peace and abundance. New readers will astonished to find the Author stating that a person need not depend upon others for his happiness, peace, health, wealth and whatever he wants in his life and he has to depend upon himself and his thoughts since thoughts are things and God is the inexhaustible supply of all wealth and all things. As suggested by the Author one read h is books two times consecutively which makes understanding much easier and application instant. Thanks to the Great Author and this book should there in every home and every child of twelve years and above should be given this book to read and make them great citizens. thanks to Amazon for selling such wonderful books at affordable prices. Thank you

This book is very easy to read and follow. There is a summary at the end of each section. The book is full of useful tips on how to master the " secret" of the mind. I liked the book because the author uses examples of life challenges that anyone can easily relate to both the young and the old.

This is before it's time. What an interesting author who really inspires.
