About the author

(Arabic: جوزيف ميرفي)
Joseph Murphy was a Divine Science minister and author.

Murphy was born in Ireland, the son of a private boy's school headmaster and raised a Roman Catholic. He studied for the priesthood and joined the Jesuits. In his twenties, an experience with healing prayer led him to leave the Jesuits and move to the United States, where he became a pharmacist in New York (having a degree in chemistry by that time). Here he attended the Church of the Healing Christ (part of the Church of Divine Science), where Emmet Fox had become minister in 1931.

In the mid 1940s, he moved to Los Angeles, where he met Religious Science founder Ernest Holmes, and was ordained into Religious Science by Holmes in 1946, thereafter teaching at the Institute of Religious Science. A meeting with Divine Science Association president Erwin Gregg led to him being reordained into Divine Science, and he became the minister of the Los Angeles Divine Science Church in 1949, which he built into one of the largest New Thought congregations in the country. In the next decade, Murphy married, earned a PhD in psychology from the University of Southern California and started writing. After his first wife died in 1976, he remarried to a fellow Divine Science minister who was his longstanding secretary. He died in 1981.

[Jake Medvetz · Rating 4 out of 5]

Ok book, liked the message but it sometimes seemed slightly out of touch. All about using positive affirmations to help use your mind to achieve your goals. I agree with this premise as a lot of life's battles are just whether or not you have the right mindset and approach. If you can set the tone with your conscious mind, you can use your subconscious mind to your advantage. You can also create an environment around you that endorses this environment. Listening to positive music, hanging around positive people, etc. will allow you to help create this positive mental image and environment.

Some general thoughts about some chapters...
CH 3 Tell your subconscious mind what to do affirmations and techniques
- autosuggestions, affirmations, self hypnosis, passing over, visualization, dream boards, mental movie, mantra, sleeping, tank you approach, acting as if, prayer can all be used to convince subconscious mind

Ch 5 Repair the damage overcome self limiting thoughts
- As children we're most open to suggestion and this can be extremely detrimental
- people want you to act a certain way that is in their best interest
- you have to recognize this and do what's best for yourself and you have no excuse as you control everything
- reprogram your mind with empowering thoughts and repeat them with conviction

CH6 Get healthy and fit
- give your body the proper nutrition
- fix it, end it, let it go, the 3 solutions when you have bad emotions
