Your Forces and How to Use Them: Six Volumes - Complete Edition
This carefully crafted ebook: "Your Forces and How to Use Them (Six Volumes - Complete Edition)” is formatted for your eReader with a functional and detailed table of contents.
Extract:
"A principal means for holding and increasing both physical and mental strength lies in the training of the mind and body to do but one thing at a time; in other words, to put all the thought necessary for the performance of any act in that act, and to put aside all other thought whatever save what belongs to that act.”
Your Forces and How to Use Them is the most profound piece of work by one of the New Thought pioneers, Prentice Mulford. It contains six volumes and each one can be considered a separate book itself. These volumes are composed of numerous essays which, even though some being on various topics, still have one common goal, achieving prosperity and success using forces that are in us and which we are not aware of. The book was written in Mulford's final years and it was not published until after his death.
Contents:
YOU TRAVEL WHEN YOU SLEEP
WHERE YOU TRAVEL WHEN YOU SLEEP
THE ART OF FORGETTING
HOW THOUGHTS ARE BORN
THE LAW OF SUCCESS
HOW TO KEEP YOUR STRENGTH
CONSIDER THE LILIES
THE ART OF STUDY
PROFIT AND LOSS IN ASSOCIATES

Mulford's book, Thoughts are Things served as a guide to this new belief system and is still popular today. He also coined the term Law of Attraction.

One of the most incredible books on the planet.

This book is a century old yet it is a very practical guide for taking control of the self in today's fast paced & short attention span world.

This book is the optimist's Bible and a handbook of wisdom for anyone who is in pursuit of self-improvement. It is perhaps the only self-help book you'll ever need.

I'm a firm believer in the Law of Attraction. I've been working at it for years and the process is full of ups and downs, of course. I love reading books on the subject. I've explored handfulls of such books, always hoping that there is something new that will click that I can soak up and use!
This one in particular I struggled with. I felt like it rambled and at least half the content was repetitive and forced. I also felt like it was poorly put together, almost like it needed a few rounds of revisions before being put out there for readers. It has a lot of potential and some amazing points to learn from, yet its lacking a few rounds of sanding and polish.
I wish I would have read it in paperback with a highlighter. And had I enjoyed it better, rather than feeling like I had to force my way through, then I would have considered buying a paperback copy just so I could get away with marking it up. I found myself wanting to pick it apart and make it better myself. There'd be a sentence or even a paragraph once every five to ten pages that really clicked and stood above. I'd like to highlight those portions so that I could go back through and study them without having to dig around in the rest of the mumbo-jumbo.
I few points I did love, was the elaboration through out on living as "I am". I also liked the layered concept of subconscious thinking and the way Christian broke it down. I wasn't a fan of so much talk of detentions. Nor did I buy the man inside stuff. I thought was kind of a weird outlook on the whole concept. Ultimately, because there was the hit and miss stuff that I loved, I think it made up enough to give it a three.

The best part of this book appears at the beginning, "Promise Yourself", now known as "The Optimist Creed". Some of the other lists of aphorisms are also great. The rest of the book is just abstract psychobabble.

Definitely the most impactful book I have ever read.

She was quite a wordy person, but the essence is on-point. All that goes through my head during the day now is, BE IN REPOSE. BE IN REPOSE.

The writings of Prentice Mulford always teach me something I never knew or thought of. He was way ahead of his time by understanding that our thoughts, however invisible are things and do matter. He actually writes signposts that help a person live a better, more whole life.
Highly recommended.
