"THE MAGIC OF BELIEVING" by Claude M. Bristol is actually an book on the thinking that how much positive thinking and behaviour can change your expertise. It's also in Hindi language so it's super beneficial for all readers.

How to imply strategies and get benefits from them is its prime moto. Psychologically it's helpful to shape our reality. One should definitely go for this one.

At this point I have nothing to loose

I'm a firm believer in personal develop. This book came strongly recommended from Shanel-Cooper-Sykes. I believe in the power of the mind and I believe I can create a better life for myself. This book gave me the tools to get more focused with my creation. This book is inline with the secret and other books that discuss the topics of belief. But the tools are more specific. I highly recommend reading this book.

There is a very real secret revealed here

Belief empowers action. Belief alone can alter everything about your life.

This book has been one of the foundational texts of the self-improvement movement, and it should be in the library of everyone who wants to shape their lives in new and profound ways.

I recommend this book with highest praise. It can be the start of a profound journey for you, or it can reaffirm what you have learned elsewhere. Read this book.

Third or fourth time reading this always interesting book.

Bristol shares many compelling examples about the power of the subconscious mind and our thought life—perhaps too many. After a while, the repetition began to feel redundant.

I did appreciate some of his practical suggestions, particularly the card system and the mirror technique. However, I would have welcomed more concrete, step-by-step applications rather than additional stories.

As a Christian, I also struggled with some of the philosophical underpinnings of the book. Bristol leans toward a kind of universalism and ultimately attributes the source of power primarily to human potential. From my perspective, this view overlooks the ultimate and infinite source of power—God Himself.

I've read this book numerous times and it never gets old. It always refreshes my hope and faith. It is a true testament to how powerful the mind is. I know from personal experience that this couldn't be any more true. I love books such as this one that keep me reminded of that. This book is very inspirational and refreshing to me.

Positive visualisation of your goals awakens your subconscious to focus on that goal and work out a way to get it. Look in the mirror and give yourself a positive pep talk that you will achieve your goal,visualise it happening and it will come about. Think the thoughts of the things you want people to do or things you need and they will work their way into your life.

Nice upbeat easy read👍🏼

This book reinforce my conviction that thought power is the answer. Use it and never give up. There is no chance, coincidence or accident in a world ruled by Law and Divine Order.

This book is an interesting read; I heard that Phyllis Diller read it, and I think so should you, too!

This is one of my FAV books. I love it! I read it several times. I think this should be thought in school, instead of nonsenses and lies.

The best I have read in a long time with so much empowerment that to not read it is a disservice to yourself

Excellent read and suggestions. As relevant today as when it was first published. Helpful tips and concepts to help you reach your personal goals.

Many of the stories were old but the concept is still there and it is a book that you can go through quickly to get the main ideas.
