The fundamental idea explained through 20 chapters of this book is that the subconscious mind is a powerful force that silently influences our habits, decisions, emotions, and even our life outcomes.

FINAL THOUGHTS
This is one of those books that shifts your perspective and forces you to become more aware of your everyday thoughts & beliefs. If you are open to unbiased introspection, this remarkable work by Dr Murphy is your ultimate guide. Of course, you might find it a little too religious—since there are biblical references throughout the book—but that can be tolerated. I recommend this book to anyone interested in self-help literature.
