15 Minute Read : The Power of Your Subconscious Mind
The unique feature of this book is its down-to-earth practicality Here you are presented with simple, usable techniques and formulas, which you can easily apply in your workaday world. I have taught these simple processes to men and women all over the world, and recently over a thousand men and women of all religious affiliations attended a special class in Los Angeles where I presented the highlights of what is offered in the pages of this book. Many came from distances of two hundred miles for each class lesson. The special features of this book will appeal to you because they show you why oftentimes you get the opposite of what you prayed for and reveal to you the reasons why. People have asked me in all parts of the world and thousands of times, ?Why is it I have prayed and prayed and got no answer?? In this book you will find the reasons for this common complaint. The many ways of impressing the subconscious mind and getting the right answers make this an extraordinarily valuable book and an ever present help in time of trouble.

Joseph Murphy
1,047 books1,943 followers(Arabic: جوزيف ميرفي)
Joseph Murphy was a Divine Science minister and author.
Murphy was born in Ireland, the son of a private boy's school headmaster and raised a Roman Catholic. He studied for the priesthood and joined the Jesuits. In his twenties, an experience with healing prayer led him to leave the Jesuits and move to the United States, where he became a pharmacist in New York (having a degree in chemistry by that time). Here he attended the Church of the Healing Christ (part of the Church of Divine Science), where Emmet Fox had become minister in 1931.
In the mid 1940s, he moved to Los Angeles, where he met Religious Science founder Ernest Holmes, and was ordained into Religious Science by Holmes in 1946, thereafter teaching at the Institute of Religious Science. A meeting with Divine Science Association president Erwin Gregg led to him being reordained into Divine Science, and he became the minister of the Los Angeles Divine Science Church in 1949, which he built into one of the largest New Thought congregations in the country. In the next decade, Murphy married, earned a PhD in psychology from the University of Southern California and started writing. After his first wife died in 1976, he remarried to a fellow Divine Science minister who was his longstanding secretary. He died in 1981.

A one sit read so it was worth the risk.
This information is very straightforward and helps to detail the way the conscious mind is connected to the subconscious.
It does read like a textbook, so be prepared for that.
I found the info about the subconscious to be interesting and it helped me to think about things in a different way. I also appreciated the breakdown and instructions on how to tap into it.

Short, interesting, potentially worth a reread to embed the principle.
Key quotes:
“
The three steps to success Let us discuss three steps to success: The first step to success is to find out the thing you love to do, then do it. Success is in loving your work. The second step to success is to specialize in some particular branch of work and know more about it than anyone else. For example, if a young man chooses chemistry as his profession, he should concentrate on one of the many branches in this field. The third step is the most important one. You must be sure that the thing you want to do does not redound to your success only. Your desire must not be selfish; it must benefit humanity.
You were born with only two fears, the fear of falling and the fear of noise. All your other fears were acquired. Get rid of them.
Specialize in your particular field and try to know more about it than anyone else.
There is no virtue in poverty; it is a disease like any other mental disease.
You will get a reaction or response from your subconscious mind according to the nature of the thought or idea you hold in your conscious mind.

Simple advice, very optimistic
The author gives some practical advice on basically how to relax your way to success. He explains the difference between the conscious and subconscious,and how you can use that other, untapped level to your benefit. I like reminders like this that are optimistic when you need them, even if they are a bit generalized and over-positive that circumstances don’t play a big role too.

Makes you realize everything bad is your fault.
I like the fact that it is simple and straight to the point. There is not a lot of useless filler. I have read and watched the Secret and many other books about positive thinking.
There were never any simple answers and directions to make life better.
The directions here are simple, easy to follow, and actually explain that it is your subconscious that controls everything. Not some magic in the air.
Thank you.

Very enlightening read! I have a better understanding how my thoughts work.
This was a very down to earth explanation of how the conscious and subconscious mind operates. I appreciate the practical examples of affirmations to try. I wrote a couple of them down to practice believing that I too can achieve positive results especially as it pertains to my relationship with money and how I perceive myself. A good source for me to refer back to for guidance and reminders.

Concise, Helpful, and Encouraging
Tiny book with great insights and powerful advice. I enjoyed that the author cut through long talks and gave clear steps for success. I also appreciate that he dealt with not just financial success, but also physical health and spiritual health. Now to just go back and make a list of areas to deal with and write out my positive statements not only to myself but to those around me. Thank you for this helpful booklet!

Short sweet and to the point
Short sweet and to the point. All I have to do is apply what I learned. Make use on a daily basis.Making a conscious decision to make use in a positive way as instructed that could work for me. A new awakening of what was known but ignore for the most part.

Really inspiring
I learned quite a few principles about the mind which I never thought existed. I'm putting them into practice, and I already see the changes especially in my attitude towards things I was negative about. I definitely recommend this lecture to anyone who wants to succeed in every aspect of life.

I appreciated how Joseph Murphy thoroughly explained the subconscious mind, its influence on our daily actions, and how we can exercise control over it. However, knowing that Murphy was a man of faith, I feel the discussion lacked depth on how faith integrates into these concepts. That’s my only critique.

Wealth of Knowledge
This book is short and straightforward. It’s honest and raw and if you use the principles as described, I don’t see how you could fail. My biggest problem is being consistent and impatience. But after this book, I’m going to try something different and new

Mantra heavy
There are so many mantras and affirmations in this little gem of a book. To recite all of them would keep you busy for a lifetime - in all the adventures of life! I can only imagine the power of mind you would have!

Was not prepared for just how woo this was
Given the title I was expecting the book to be lots of conjecture and "woo" - however, I was unprepared for just how much there is in these slim pages.
Lots of people may like this book.

Great Read
Short read, but nothing stops from rereading and expanding on the ideas and principles in this book. Deep thought and practices, one can only reap or truly see the benefits if action accompanies the mental intake.
