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.

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.
