An older classic which has been rewritten many times in many different styles to date. Nothing new, but I still liked the book even thou the lingo sometimes slowed me down. I didn't care for the way the author called indigenous peoples, savages but that was par for the course in the 1940's. He does give 2 or 3 easy techniques for tapping into the subconscious. Overall I felt happy while reading the book and that is my personal benchmark for worthiness and learning.
The science of setting your goal and then reaching it!
Powerful forces locked in your mind can turn desire into reality. Learn how to harness the unlimited energies of your subconscious.
It probably wouldn't work anyway.
Another book on the how to turn your thoughts into actions. Precursor to "The Secret." Visualizing positive thoughts does work, contrary to what people think. For example, I had a student who was PITA (pain in the a**). First thing in the morning, he was fine. After an hour, he refused to do work, bothered the other students, and would do what he wanted to do. Finally, I removed everything from his desk. I refused to hand-out a textbook or worksheets to him. Instead, I would calmly go up to him and ask him if he wanted to work. He would shrug. I told him I took that as a no and when he wanted to work, he would have to verbally tell me. I would turn to the class and start teaching but in my mind I visualized him as not in the classroom. In fact, I would circle the room and walk past him as if he wasn't even there. After two weeks of this treatment, he finally told me he wanted to be part of the class and wanted to learn. For the rest of the year, he was an absolute pleasure. A little rough at times, but he did learn.
