Riches within Your Reach!
Trusted and beloved by readers everywhere for his prosperity classic The Secret of the Ages , Robert Collier takes the next step in Riches Within Your Reach! and explains how to harness mental visualization to achieve financial and professional success.
"A definite purpose, held on to in the face of every discouragement and failure, in spite of all obstacles and opposition, will win no matter what the odds," wrote Robert Collier. And with faith in your own definite purpose, taught the self-help master, there is no limit to what you can accomplish. In every adversity, there lies the seed of an equivalent advantage, and in each defeat, there is a lesson in how to achieve victory next time. This is the message of Riches Within Your Reach !
In 1947, Collier produced Riches Within Your Reach ! to assemble his most talked-about works into one simple guide. It The God in You (1937); The Magic Word (1940); The Secret of Power (1945); and The Law of Higher Potential (1947).
Together, these pioneering works reveal all facets of one powerful Human beings, since the dawn of history, have used the applied principles of mental visualization to achieve their aims. Many of the world's most successful figures -from Napoleon Bonaparte to Benjamin Franklin to Andrew Carnegie-began their lives at a significant disadvantage, without the wealth or health that many of their peers enjoyed. Yet they were able to triumph and succeed in ways that their contemporaries weren't-by tapping into the infinite power of their own minds. Riches Within Your Reach ! not only builds upon this teaching but illuminates Collier's most remarkable lesson that each of us has an equal chance to harness the powers within ourselves to succeed, but first, we must learn how to focus our desires.

This is truly a success classic and combines 4 of Robert Colliers works - "The God in You", "The Magic Wand", "The Secret of Power" and "The Law of Higher Potential".
This volume is 565 pages and provides a matriculation into the University of Success U!
The first work, "The God In You" will immediately reflect the fact that Collier had trained to be a priest, but went into business. He was very successful and his "Kings and Priests" perspectives are driven by this foundation and makes him extremely credible (in my book!) in regards to the subject matter.
For those of us that are capitalist (and not afraid to admit it!) and don't want the paradox of "wealth and worthiness" that cloud so many spiritual essays, these works give you a corresponding viewpoint to the value of "divine riches".
Colliers writing style flows and is easily understandable and relatable though written in 1930's and 40's. The concepts are consistent to what most books on achievement subscribe to such as power of thoughts, law of attraction and compensation. Collier sets himself apart with level of detail, intellectual depth and spiritual directness that aligns with people of faith.
If I could only own 10 books on the subject of success, wealth and life fulfillment, this would be one of them...I highly recommend it for those looking for a deeper view of mental/spiritual driven success!

I have never read a more insightful self development book prior to reading "Riches Within Your Reach". Robert Collier uses language that cuts through the debris of self hindering thoughts lodged in the mind and starts to replace them with possibility thoughts that open doors to the life that one desires. I remain forever grateful to this great man for helping me discover keys to change my life.

Riches Within Your Reach by Robert Collier is a spiritual book not a religious book. Published in 1947 at the close of WWII, Collier tells us that we are the masters of our fate through the Creator Force within us. When reading, the reader must be aware that Collier is not telling us God is Santa Claus or a geni in a bottle. Rather, He is God. He created us to have a joyful abundant life. He is the Father who gives good gifts to His children. It is our MIND agreeing with our Creator’s MIND that attracts abundance or lack. The book is scriptural. I would like to have seen the author reference the scriptures rather than just quoting them. Perhaps in 1947, people of that generation were more familiar with these verses. It’s a good read. I will probably refer back to it often.

Robert Collier, to me, is like Og Mandino. Just amazing men. So full of knowledge and so enveloped in spiritual aspects on how to be financially free and succesful.
This book will change your life. 100% guaranteed. It will also help you learn how to get in tune with God in order to fulfill your life desires.

May 22, 2011Sounds like a cross between Napoleon Hill's "Think and Grow Rich" and "The Secret". This book was written in 1947, so it's stood the test of time and still gets good ratings and reviews. Worth checking out...
