Amongst The Best, June 13, 2008
This review is from: Maximize Your Potential Through the Power of Your Subconscious Mind to Overcome Fear and Worry: Book 1 (Bk. 1) (Paperback)
You cannot go wrong with Joseph Murphy's books. He is one of the best writers on showing how a person can turn their life around. He had great learning and understanding, which he wanted to share with the world to help end suffering and bring perfect happiness into the lives of people. It is clear he loved people, the world, and Life.
Especially needed and learned is his chapter on women and religion in volume three of this series of books. The meaning of 'woman/wife' and 'man/husband' in scriptures was never to be meant literally, but refers to the female and male aspects of every person, and is a scriptural lesson on how to 'control'/guide/direct yourself so that you can 'come out of bondage' to the life you are meant to have. (There are many other authors who have researched the symbolic/allegorical meanings of the scripture stories for those who are interested in this topic).
Change starts within and Joseph Murphy shows you how and tells you why you can bring the change you want in your life. It must start within yourself first before you will see it on the outside. It is all up to the individual; it always has been.
Joseph Murphy tells you that it's the world within, your thoughts, feelings, moods, imagination, that is creative; that inner world is the cause of the outer world of the senses, and you are the director/the one at the wheel.
So you can change the outer circumstances by changing your thoughts and most importantly not reacting to all that's appearing in your life, but keeping your focus/moods on feeling you will see manifest what you want; not easy, but if you persist, keeping in mind that what you're experiencing is based on your past thought patterns and so will passover/change as you change your inner world, you cannot fail to receive what you seek.
Not everyone is ready for this message, it means taking full responsibility for your life and blaming no-one...it is the message of all the 'holy' scriptures in the world.
It's up to you, always has been, and it's all good once you can see the truth, you can use Life negatively or positively, It's always acting on what you think (and therefore, direct). Life is there for you, all joy, all peace, is all there for you.
Joseph Murphy's books are timeless, easy to read and comprehend and worth every penny...read and reread, until your practice manifests the truth of what's said.

Maximize Your Potential Book 1 (2007), February 26, 2011
This review is from: Maximize Your Potential Through the Power of Your Subconscious Mind to Overcome Fear and Worry: Book 1 (Bk. 1) (Paperback)
I have become a devoted follower of Dr. Joseph Murphy's wit and wisdom, keen insights, penetrating personal interviews. This book is yet another testament to his literary genius. Although I would have liked for the publication to have been released as Murphy wrote the essays, the editing seems very geniuine and does not disrupt the Murphy flow of expression. Feeling a bit low, discouraged, directionless--even fearful, nervous? This text will do more for your spiritual health than any drug or potion. A gem to own, a jewel in your crown.
