You Become What You Think About: How Your Mind Creates The World You Live In
It's Been Called The Strangest Secret
Buddha declared that, “The mind is everything. What you think you become.” “You become what you think about all day long” is how Ralph Waldo Emerson expressed it.
In The Strangest Secret, the only personal development recording ever to receive a Gold Record, Earl Nightingale reveals that the secret is “You become what you think about."
Using that principle, you can create an entirely different world than you live in today. Bruce Lee returned to the United States at the age of 18 with $100 in his pocket and the idea he often quoted that "As you think, you become." By the time of his early death a scant 14 years later, he had become a major motion picture icon and the father of mixed martial arts.
Your subconscious mind is responsible for just about every major thing in your life. You don’t have to consciously think about breathing, your heart beating, walking, or how to properly digest and metabolize the food you eat.
Without the cooperation of your subconscious -- the deep recesses of your inner self -- change can be difficult to impossible. You might consciously have tried to lose weight. But if your subconscious mind was fixated on fattening food and how difficult exercise was, the experience was probably a challenge or a dismal failure. Therefore, changing one or more aspects of your life can’t occur until you affect change on your subconscious.
In You Become What You Think About: How Your Mind Creates The World You Live In, Vic Johnson will take you step-by-step as he shows you how to harness and use the power of directed thought in your life.

This is the perfect book to read before a new year. I will be changing a few bad habits like procrastinating, and watching mindless TV. This book gives great advice and tools on how to modify your thinking to kick a bad habit.

You can’t cultivate anything on the surface. The subconscious is where sustainable change occurs. You can’t break through the layers of habits and thought patterns in one day. Where we are today , mind & body, is a result of our behaviors. Circumstances don't just happen, we create them.

Much too simplistic and repetitive. Not much substance.

Nice self-help and motivational read. Some parts were a bit repetitive but I picked up a few good tips and lessons.

Comically, one of the flaws I'm seeing mentioned in this book for why people don't like it is that it's made too simple. Well, that's the thing. It is simple. It's distilled, and it's to the point. Do the actions in the book. People overcomplicate things because that's how they see things. They think that things need to be hard. They don't. The book says as much if you read it through. If you are moving towards your goals, keep moving towards them. Make decisions like your ideal self. Is your ideal self going to do this type of stuff? No. If they are, yes. Do them. And keep doing them. Are these the people that you find to be ideal in your life state? Yes, then keep seeing them. If not, then go make new friends and meet new people. That is the essence of this book. If you want to be a billionaire, start thinking and acting like a billionaire and making those types of decisions that your billionaire self would make. And that does not include going out and buying a Lamborghini Murcielago because you woke up and realized you're a billionaire today.

FAVORITE QUOTES
-“Procrastination is simply a way of deceiving yourself into believing your actions will be easier in the future.”
-“You can’t always control your circumstances, but you can choose to be happy. When you’re unhappy it’s not the result of circumstances but the result of thought, which is why feeling unhappy often coincides with feelings of helplessness. To be happy is associated with the knowledge that how you think and feel will always be your choice, which will put you in charge of your life.”
-“It’s pretty much the same for all circumstances in your life. Your outer abundance will reflect your inner abundance, and your outer lack will reflect your inner lack. If you want to change your circumstances, you must become the person in the circumstances you want to live in.”

I think this is a good book for anyone. Even if you know everything they said, it's good to have it at the forefront of your mind. It used examples that asked you to try them, even for a moment, to prove they worked

Principles taken from Scripture, this book is thought-provoking. Literally, from Prov. 23:7. And also incorporated ideas from the New Testament. Will defiantly be revisiting this. The natural laws of God's world stand true, what is true for the Christian, is true for the heathen, though the outcomes are different, the principles remain the same.

Short and sweet. I actually enjoyed it, it is straight to the point, no BS, no trying to sugarcoat it,just facts and advice.

"Changing your thoughts isn't as easy as it sounds".
A very easy book of self help with changing how you think and how your thoughts affects your daily life. And how you can change your life and what you want of your life by changing how you think. Nothing extraordinary things to do or new things to learn, but nevertheless effectfull because it's simplicity.

In a nutshell, this is a ‘completely hack your mindset and reap the rewards’ little book. The short chapters end with tasks which are fast and simple to carry out, but feel remarkably powerful.
I listened to it - the narrator sounded thoroughly old fashioned, formal and slightly hard to relate to, but the guidance is gold dust! I will be merrily overhauling my life-view and can’t wait to incorporate better habits and mental energy more aligned with where I’m going.
Highly recommended.

This is a good, economic description of the power of positive thinking. Concise chapters end in meditation-like assignments. The focus is on crowding out negative thoughts with positive affirmations and moving from that to actions. This is the type of book of which there are many yet we can all benefit from hearing the message in different ways and at different times.

Short, simple and to the point. Full of things you would say you already knew but aren’t practicing. I think this book gives you the motive to go ahead and put those ideas into action.

A great book, perhaps read it weekly to help you stay on track for your desired goals…
I can see this becoming a daily calendar, motivational posters … how to start a meeting…. Life goals etc.

A really good refresher. A book that can be read multiple times to look for answers and get out of certain situations in life.
May 15, 2024
A quick audiobook but one that was worth a couple hours to help with self improvement. It did seem that the author borrowed some concepts from others such as Atomic Habits' belief in making incremental small improvement over time to gain huge rewards in the long term. Additionally, the author's description of goal setting was well done. He mentioned setting appropriate goals, but that one has to differentiate between stretch goals and fantasy. His review of affirmations in one's daily life was also on point. If you consistently tell yourself how bad you are, then your life will be challenged. If you consistently look at the positives in your life, then you will be much happier and more successful. A great read for someone looked to live life a little better.

Unsure as to my feelings on this book.
Honestly not even sure why I am reading so many books of this genre - I think it's because scribd has limited my book access as I apparently have accessed so many this month already.
That aside. This book was essentially about the law of attraction. I understand the theory and I mean I am probably not doing it right. However I just feel like it doesn't work for me.
It's a fantastic interactive book if you are already practicing the law of attraction lifestyle but as someone who has minimal experience of it - I struggled to connect with the book and it's theories.

Books and Authors mentioned: As a Man Thinketh by James Allen, Book of Proverbs, Ralph Waldo Emerson, The Strangest Secret by Earl Nightingale, The New Testament of The Holy Bible, Think and Grow Rich by Napoleon Hill
My rating: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️½🤔💭
My thoughts: This seemed like a summary of what "James Allen says," so I'm not sure if it would have been better to just read As A Man Thinketh instead. Overall it was an insightful quick read. I think I'm annoyed about it being so simple because I put this book off for 20 days.
Recommend to others: Yes especially if you don't like reading Self-Help novels.
Memorable Quotes: You may not know the true implication of those words from the Book of Proverbs (23:7). For example, in ancient Greek the word “heart” didn’t mean the physical organ, but rather referred to the unconscious or subconscious mind.
Is it true that we can trace our beliefs, actions, doubts or decisions to our subconscious thoughts? Doesn’t everything we do ultimately spring forth from the way we think?
Everyone has a conscious mind capable of making a variety of decisions on a day-to-day basis. But many of them are not decisions, but rather actions you take as a result of habit. For many people, their biggest daily decision can be whether or not to take the scenic or same route to work, or whether to part their hair on the left instead of the right. Therefore, it’s subconscious versus conscious habits that can affect real change on your life. Your subconscious mind is responsible for just about every major thing in your life. You don’t have to consciously think about breathing, your heart beating, walking, or how to properly digest and metabolize the food you eat. A deeply embedded, ancient part of you handles all of that work, and therein lies the wisdom of “As a man thinketh in his heart, so is he.”
Without the cooperation of your subconscious -- the deep recesses of your inner self -- change can be difficult to impossible. You might consciously have tried to lose weight. But if your subconscious mind was fixated on fattening food and how difficult exercise was, the experience was probably a challenge or a dismal failure. Therefore, changing one or more aspects of your life can’t occur until you affect change on your subconscious. To try and change your life through conscious thought is similar to expecting an orchard to grow by throwing apples on the ground and hoping a tree will grow. But a wise person will clear the land of weeds, till the soil, fertilize the ground, plant the seeds, water them every day, and keep the soil free of weeds as the tree grows. Your subconscious is the farm that will produce well if you plant thoughts (the seeds) and cultivate the fertile soil you need in order to grow as a person. Your conscious mind is the “farmer” that is ultimately responsible for caretaking your farm. You’re responsible for your own mental destiny that will determine where you end up and ultimately who you become. So let’s take a closer look at how to change your thoughts that will allow you to lead a life you love.
Many common problems can be traced back to small, subtle causes that led to the problems (the effects) in the first place.
The topic of “how to be happy” could fill several volumes of books. Heck, it could fill an entire library, and you still wouldn’t know everything on the subject of happiness versus unhappiness. At the core of unhappiness or happiness is thought.
Beliefs shift the reality of your focus.

How your mind, in many ways, CREATES the world you live in--many concepts in this book have been written about a lot, or may seem cliche-- but the author writes clearly and with recommendations for practice + assignments that really make understandable the POWER of thoughts + emotions to change your life.
This fairly short book is worth reading & re-reading if you struggle with negative thinking. (I plan to re-read it!)

This is a great review of principles stated better by the likes of James Allen and Earl Nightingale. It is a great review and refresher for some of classic self development books written. It can also serve as a good introduction, but you will want to start with more robust works to gain a better understanding of what is being taught here.

I give this book 2.5 stars
I don't think this book is anything amazing. It's an okay book that has some okay advice. It's nothing groundbreaking or special. I like some of the advice but most of it is either common sense or stuff I already knew. It was a quick read though.

Admittedly, I did the end of chapter work "in my head" because I listened to this as an audiobook while walking but it was good and I would like to listen to it again in a few months. I am doing some self improvement work right now and this factored in nicely.
