sidharthvardhan 's review for:
The Power of Your Subconscious Mind
by Ian McMahan, Joseph Murphy
The Power of Pseudoscience crap
You can not win with Murphy. If you get what you 'prayed' for, it shows power of your subconscious mind. If you don't, than you didn't pray right. And there is, of course, no other way to know if a prayer was done right except by the result. The book is a terrible mixture of pseudoscience, faith healing non-sense, some stupid coincidences used as examples of rules and so on. One can only find such genius for nonsense in motivational writers. The worse part though is bad writing - showing a lack of self-confidence of a seller. Subconscious is a very powerful things - this is a sure thing, we all know about placebo for example but it is not something that easily controllable. Moreover it understands more in terms of images than words. And imagining yourself a happy movie as author wants you to do, might make you more miserable when you don't see that happening. Happy people don't tell themselves that they are happy. If you consciously tell yourself happy, you might actually be reminding you aren't or you won't have to go trouble of telling yourself that.
