About the Author

Harry Carpenter developed a passion at an early age for finding out how to use more of his subconscious mind. The information he found over a lifetime helped him and his wife in so many ways that he wanted to share it. After retiring, he condensed this knowledge into a course he teaches in the Southern California area. Harry's students kept asking him for a book that contained what he taught. Since no existing book has all of this information, his response was to write The Genie Within.

Harry Carpenter is a retired aerospace research engineer. He has four children and seven grandchildren. He and his wife, Jane, live in Fallbrook, California.

More About the Author

BIOGRAPHY
Harry W Carpenter

Harry W. Carpenter is the author of The Genie Within: Your subconscious Mind--How It Works and How to Use It. Learning how to use his powerful subconscious mind has been his passion and avocation for 60 years. This passion began with a mental healing of a life-threatening illness at age 10. The practitioner hired by his parents instilled the concept that his mind could cure him, and it did. He read every book he could find and took courses on the subject. But it wasn't until in his 30's that he was able to put all this diverse information together. Harry distilled all that he learned into a rational and useful paradigm. He and his wife say that this knowledge changed their lives dramatically.

Because of his successes in using his subconscious mind, Harry was encouraged by friends to teach them what he had learned. He taught his first classes 40 years ago but stopped teaching to pursue a career in aerospace engineering and raise four children. He resumed teaching after he retired in 1994. His standard course is 14 hours of lectures with essential mental conditioning.

The Genie Within: Your Subconscious Mind is a written form of this popular class. The impetus for writing the book came from his students who asked where they could find a book with the information he teaches. Harry's response was that no book comes close because the information in The Genie Within: Your Subconscious Mind was gleaned from many books and teachers. The book is the distillation--the best of the best--from 60 years of reading, studying, practicing, and teaching.

No matter where you are in your journey of self-understanding or enlightenment, you will benefit from reading The Genie Within. Mr. Carpenter has had students who studied hypnotism and metaphysics for years that said they leaned more in The Genie Within than any class they had taken or book they read.

The Genie Within: Your Subconscious Mind is written for the layman, easy to read, and simple to use. A lot of information is condensed into a paradigm that is sensible and easy to use.

The Genie Within: Your Subconscious Mind is not a book of inspirational stories; it is a complete manual on how to use your subconscious mind to achieve success, health, and peace of mind.

5.0 out of 5 stars Definitely one of the best books on the Subconscious Mind, October 31, 2006

This review is from: The Genie Within: Your Subconcious Mind--How It Works and How To Use It (Paperback)

What I really appreciate in this book are the specifics on the Alpha state. I have virtually all of Joseph Murphy books and he has repeated the instruction often, of the necessity to drop into that drowsy state, before reciting his reprogramming statements in your mind.

But this particular writer brings his own experience and knowledge of many different sources to the table, including Silva Method and cites many excellent current writers, and not so current.


The writer cites specific writers/books who have instructed the reader to only read goals in the morning when you are either coming up from Delta to Beta and you are suggestive, or at night when you are slipping from Beta back to to Delta and thus have that Alpha time again available to you.
(he mentions "It Works" as one of the books with the simple instruction to read/envision your goal at morning and night )

He does this to help convince you of how many experts in the past have always known of the effectiveness of the Alpha (and theta states).

(When a writer mentions a lot of sources, especially ones that I've read, I can really "crunch" into his material and it "gels" better.)

What I like about this book also, is that he refers to sooo many other sources and his sort of un-said disclaimer is that he's not trying to tell you something that's not already known since Ancient times.

If you want a solid book with a complete set of tools for making the maximum use of your powerful subconscious mind, get this one.

5.0 out of 5 stars The definitive book on self-help, October 31, 2007

I have been buying self-help/power of positive thinking books and tapes for as long as I can remember. They haven't all been complete wastes of time, I have picked up a few nuggets of wisdom here and there over the years, but I was never able to find that one resource that put everything together in a manner that was scientific enough for me to believe and plain enough for me to understand and use instantly to make major changes in my life. That was until my journey lead me to this book. It is the holy grail of self-improvement and the last book you'll need to buy searching for the "magical secret" to change your life.

I won't go into detail on how this book has changed me but events happened since reading this book that frightened me as they took place. All positive stuff, don't worry, but unbelievable nevertheless.

Look out world, here I come!

I've read this entire book and found that it is in step with many of the neuroscience books that I have read. If you take this book seriously and do the exercises (they offer a companion Cd for this) you will be astounded at the results you get. This is one of the most powerfull books I own. It'll change your life for the better.
