Reviews

[Rod Bradbury]

A highly recommended read for anyone looking for personal inspiration in any area of their life.
I have read this book multiple times and get something new from it every time. It has changed my way of thinking.

[Dave]

One of the first, if not the first book I read on positive psychology.
The main concept of the book is to allow your subconscious mind to work for you unhindered by your waking, or conscious mind.
You simply state your problem/ goal as you drift off to sleep, arriving at an answer at the appropriate time.
A book I have turned to time and again.

[Andy Cob]

Such a Wonderful and life-changing book! Thank You Ben Sweetland for writing this book, which gives us the opportunity to progress toward an excellent life! I now know that Ben Sweetland is a very underrated author. Please read this book if you want to change your life for the better!

[Boris Trucco]

I think this book could be the perfect companion to Napoleon Hill's "Think and Grow Rich." Whatever good you want to accomplish in life starts as a thought, the mind being the most powerful tool at your disposition. I highly recommend it if you are ready to change your life and become successful.

[Lizelle DuPlessis]

This book will change your life. It is exceptionally well written and when I started reading it, I couldn't put it down. Any person of any generation should read this book.

[Trilok Reddy]

amazing book on accumulating unlimited wealth

[Dujon]

Good read on the subconscious mind and what it is able to do for you. The book should be read at least 2 times.

[Kamp Woods]

This book is great coupled with Think and Grow Rich. So far this book does a great job with emphasising the power of the subconscious mind but also the importance of what we put into it. What is your mental diet? What do you consume daily? What is your relationship with the idea of wealth/riches?

Something else that stands out to me is the fact that a guilt conscious is a personal experience. You can feel guilt based on the promises you know you haven’t kept and what is keeping you from doing so?

All laziness is mental, it’s a response to being assigned work you are not interested in. I like the emphasis on using yor imagination and creative mind, it’s something that we all have the power to do but easily forget. The book also mentions the importance of mental work.


Some additional points that stood out to me are the following:
—You are what you think, you are literally made up of everything you ingest into your mind and it comes out in the way you present yourself and communicate.
—Man is a mind with a body, not a body with a mind… your mind is in control of your body, your mind controls how you use you're body,
—Most are operating from habit vs intelligence, it’s more about what you decide to do vs what you know about “what to do”
—-FEELINGS OF INSECURE ARE DEVELOPED IN CHILDHOOD, IT COMES FROM COMPOUNDED COMMENTS ON CERTAIN ASPECTS OF YOUR BEHAVIOR AND HOW YOU EXPRESS YOURSELF
—-THE FAILURE INSTICT IS INSTILLED IN CHILDHOOD, IF YOU LIVED IN A RESTRICT CHILDHOOD, ALWAYS TOLD WHAT YOU CAN’T DO, YOU’LL GROW UP TO NEVER KNOW WHAT YOU REALLY CAN DO.
—-CHANGE YOUR PERSONAL PRICE TAG, HOW MUCH IS YOUR TIME/TALENT WORTH.

[Abhishek Biswas]

There's a line break after every couple of lines, otherwise the book would be less than 100 pages.
Feels like I'm reading an amateur online article written for novice readers.

And the content? nothing. Just read some inspirational quotes and you'll be better off. If you really like to read about law of attraction stuff, I'd suggest The power of your subconscious mind by Joseph Murphy.

[Ivan Tan]

Life changing mindsets

Lots of important perspectives on how positive thinking can affect your whole life. Goals, dreams, motivations, action, attitude all boils down to what know chooses to think. Easily one of the best books that I have read in my life!

[Angela]

A bit older but a great guide book on changing your thinking so that you can change your life.

[Briana Brown]

I forgot the authors name, I think this was the book. It could have been better.

[Vlad]

This book is an positive affirmation on how to manage on focussing on goals and possibilities encounters you can get. It provides infofmation on how well you should manifest to become rich.

[Marko]

Please change the photo, this man on the photo is not Ben Sweetland, the author of Grow Rich While You Sleep. You can find his photo from 1962 on the Internet.

[Karume Asangama]

A great book!

A wonderful book! Must read for any one who would like to personally develop himself or herself.

Thank you so much Mr. Ben Sweetland!

[Glimineda]

That book is just amazing

[BlooperFromTejas]

This book had some interesting ideas, almost identical to the Rich Dad series in some aspects.

[Rodrigo Astete]

Bueno

Bueno y simple.
Me recordo el secreto y creo q es la base del mismo.
Lo recomiendo de todas maneras

[Przemysław Garczyński (3telnik.pl)]

Dawno się z niczym tak nie męczyłem...

[Gregory]

To będzie naprawdę krótka recenzja: szkoda czasu. Tylko dla absolutnych desperatów. Dwie gwiazdki jedynie za promocję pozytywnego myślenia. Promocja ta jest jednak niskich lotów - ostrzegam.
