A really interesting take on the power of positive thinking that is part new age-y and part biblical but all useful and things that one can learn from and take positive lessons from it. If you’re someone who is your own worst critic or tend to be pessimistic, this book proposes that perhaps you are an author of the negative experiences you have in life and that by flipping your perspective and manifesting good things and keeping your mind on that which is good, you can change your life. The book focuses on physical manifestations of success and gives several examples and testimonies of how various people’s lives have been transformed for the better just by changing their mindset and having faith in their subconscious (or from a religious perspective, in God).
The way the author presents the ideas in this book is very much on the new age spirituality spectrum. It often felt like the author was trying to secularise what was were mostly religious principles for mass appeal- so changing at times what a person of faith might call God or the inner man, and labeling that power and agency as the phenomenon of the subconscious. Personally, as a Christian, I read this book from that (Christian) perspective and through that sort of lens and I think it translated well in through a lens of my faith. This is one of those where you can pick what resonates with you and reject what doesn’t. I also liked that it was practical in suggesting affirmations that address the various challenges and difficulties that one might experience in life. I think even if you reject the premise of this book that having faith can transform your lived reality, adapting your thinking and affirming positive thoughts and ideas for yourself will at least change your perspective and help you lead a more joyous, enjoyable life. Whilst some of this read a little hokey, I overall found it really valuable for starting a habit of daily affirmations, building a regimen for strengthening my faith and trust in God, dealing with doubt and fear, and just generally living a more positive life filled with hope and expectation and excitement rather than dread and pessimism. I think whatever transformations come from this book or experienced by those who love it, are largely due to a change in perspective which for many people can be huge in changing everything about their lives from what jobs they apply to how they approach love and finance etc.
I highly recommend this for these reasons even though some of its premises could be a little problematic if taken as absolutes rather than things to think about, reflect upon and incorporate as you see fit.

It's about individual subconscious mind how to use in there life to achieve their dreams of life.
This book will change your life. It uses real life examples to describe how powerful your subconscious can be.
I started off on my spiritual / power of thinking journey many years ago after reading "The Secret." I found it to be a bit superficial because it was all about material objects.
I found this book to take it to the next level, to use that ability to achieve more meaningful changes to your life that will actually improve your quality of living.
I've gone through and flagged the different subjects in different colours so that I can forever use it as a reference tool when necessary.

If interpreted RIGHTLY then it would do what is says ! Only if !
This book is truly something ! The idea behind it astounding and jaw dropping. It had some new terms for me like 'scientific prayer'. I liked how Doctor here is denying the existence of God while not denying. Pray and with faith ! And world around you will support everything in its power to make you achieve what you want to achieve. Clever idea !
I think many would think that this book is promoting atheism but it really isn't ! In fact, it is encouraging the religious activity. Ask with faith and you can have it. FAITH is the key.
The power of subconscious, well, I can't comment on that at the moment. I loved the idea. And it is practical. But obviously I haven't tried it yet. But I am certainly taking this into practice.
HARMONY ! That's all I take from this book. Harmony between soul,body,conscious and subconscious mind will bring about almost anything !

The book basically talks about unleashing the power of Subconscious Mind
It cites various examples through anecdotes showing how feeding the right thoughts to your subconscious can lead to amazing results and improved control over life. It lays down the basis for later concepts like law of attraction and NLP. In some ways it is the foundation for the entire teachings of Louise Hay and the likes. It teaches how much more power resides within your Subconscious Mind as compared to your conscious mind and how to harness it. It emphasis on the concepts by quoting various verses from the bible. It is a good book with a good message but having been written in 1960s it needs a lot of updating. I'm still very skeptical about the core concept of the book. It may work for some and for some people it doesn't. However, I still feel this book touches only the tip of the iceberg and I would advise further reading.
