Charles Francis Haanel was a noted American New Thought author and a businessman. He is best known for his contributions to the New Thought Movement through his book The Master Key System.

Hannel's book The Master Key System, was published in 1912, when he was 46 years old. It is written in the form of a course in New Thought, mental development, financial success, and personal health. The book was heavily promoted in the pages of Elizabeth Towne's New Thought magazine The Nautilus. By 1933 it had sold over 200,000 copies worldwide. Haanel practiced the financial principles he preached and was a self made success who owned several major companies. According to Stevens, writing in 1909, "He was president of the Continental Commercial Company, president of the Sacramento Valley Improvement Company, and president of the Mexico Gold & Silver Mining Company."

The original Master Key System contained 24 parts or modules of study. The allegedly "lost" chapters of the Master Key System, chapters 25-28, which are found in some editions, are not original, but have been copied from the chapters 11-14 of A book about You. Among the key points of Haanel's system are what he refers to as the laws of concentration, attraction, and harmonious thinking and action. Unique to the Master Key System is a set of exercises that accompany each chapter, and which are systematically building upon each other — they are what makes the Master Key System a system.

In addition to the Master Key System, Haanel wrote several other books including Mental Chemistry, published in 1922, The New Psychology, published in 1924, A Book about You, published in 1927, and The Amazing Secrets of the Yogi, co-authored with Victor Simon Perera and published in 1937.

In 1919, Napoleon Hill wrote Haanel a letter thanking him for The Master Key System.[8] In the letter Hill stated, "My present success and the success which has followed my work as President of the Napoleon Hill Institute is due largely to the principles laid down in The Master-Key System."

Haanel was quoted in the best-selling self-help book The Secret by Rhonda Byrne, published in 2007.

الكتاب جداً رائع من الناحية العلمية والدقه في وصف الحلول
كما انه بسيط وواضح لايحتوي على اسهاب للنقاط
استفدت منه جداً لكن لدي ملاحظة بسيطة
يجب ان يقرأه الشخص الذي قد قرأ العقيدة مسبقاً
لأن فيه امور قد فسرها الكاتب تفسيراً يعود لعقليته ورأية الديني
الا اننا كمسلمين نستطيع ان نجد تفسيرها في كتاب الله وسنة نبيه
لمن يقرأه الكتاب جيد جداً علمياً الا ان بعض التفسيرات لم تكن كما ذكرها الكاتب
ولها تفسير منطقي شرعي لدينا كمسلمين ..

جميل جداً

تم كتابة النسخة الاولى والاصلية من الكتاب سنة 1912 ثم تم تنقيحها واعادة نشرها فى عام 2002
هذه الطبعة المحتواه على 450 صفحة هى فى الحقيقة تضم النسخة الاصلية والنسخة الجديدة.. مع العلم انى لم اجد فارق ملحوظ بينهم .. ربما اراد الناشر ان يقدم كتاب من الحجم الكبير لكى يغرى القارئ بشرائه
الكتاب يدور حول قانون الجذب وقانون الوفرة حيث ان الكون ملئ باكثر مما نحتاجه ولكن مطلوب مننا ان نجذب الينا ما نحتاجه بالطريقة السليمة
للاسف الكتاب ملئ بالتكرار والاعادة بشكل رهيب واعتقد انه من الخطأ انه عنما تقرأ كتاب هدفه ان يعطى القارئ طاقة ايجابيه ويشجعه لا ان يصاب القارئ بالملل والتشتت
هناك بعض التمرنات التأمليه الجيدة.. وتقييمى للكتاب انه متوسط

▪︎من المحزن ما اكتشفه الكثيرون من أن حُكم مملكه أسهل عليهم من تحكمهم في أنفسهم.

▪︎الصمت هو السكينة البدنية والخطوة الأولى على طريق السيطرة على النفس والتحكم فيها

▪︎من عادة الأفكار الكبيرة القضاء على أي أفكار بسيطة، لذلك من الأفضل أن نفكر في أفكار كبيرة بما يكفي لردع أي ميول تافهة أو غير مرغوبة والقضاء عليها.

▪︎غذ ذهنك بالأفكار العظيمة، فالإيمان بالبطولة يصنع الأبطال

This book is basicaly a step by step guide to mastering your thoughts and mind for the purpose of attaining what ever you might want. It was origionally published in 1912 and was one of many of the books that were referenced in the writing of The Secret.

Amazing book... I have worked through several of the chapters which take you through different meditation excersizes and I feel that it is pretty powerful stuff.

I am still surprised that Mr. Charles wrote this book around 1910. Very thought provocative. Thanks Charles, I learnt a lot.
