Contents Introduction I How I came to tap the power of belief II Mind-stuff experiments III What the subconsious is IV Suggestion is power V the art of mental pictures VI The mirror technique for releasing the subconscious VII How to project your thoughts VIII Women and the science of belief IX Belief makes things happen

Book was great except for the last 30% where it delved into Telepathy, ESP and more examples. ( )

Assumes that one's subconscious WANTS to believe and act on that belief. That's wrong in many cases.

This is indeed an interesting "self-help" book - although old. I can personally say that the main topic of this book does work. You are indeed what you think and what you think does come to light.

I am glad I found this book. It made me understand better what I have known and how things in the past I have wondered came to be.

As the saying goes, "mind is a terrible thing to waste!" ( )

While I agree that one should not be foolish enough to attempt anything so dangerous as "a woman driving with confidence that all the lights will turn green," I wouldn't think this book deserving of "one star," as it delves deeply into what the author calls "the golden thread of belief" that we all share in common when it comes to "sewing" our judgments together, whether it be of religion, life, etc.

The contents of this book speaks about the sub-conscious and it's mysterious workings. Back in the year when this book was published, not many people understood anything about the subconscious, so it sticks to the basic (and sometimes uses biblical scripts to support it's claims)

From my own experience, I can say I've seen some "concrete evidence" that definitely responds to our subconscious. It's beyond what words can do justice, and far-fetched when explained, but it works! So for that, I thank this book for helping me understand the concept better. Although, thanks to our newer day and age there are much more advanced books on the subject. Much more comfortable and now meticulous. But never-the-less. I won't overlook this little booklet. :) ( )

I actually am a fan of self-help books. I do not dismiss the genre out of hand. But this one seems poised to help only those who are most susceptible to spiritualism, or religion, or maybe hypnosis as the answer to their problems. He uses for examples a woman who drove without stopping for traffic lights, confident that her belief would render all the lights green for her direction; and a person who was convinced they could win the lottery and did so. I do not say that these things could not happen. But I do contend that the individuals' beliefs had nothing to do with the outcomes and that it would be foolish and dangerous to live that way. ( )
