I think that we are all familiar with the term 'you are what you eat' but the fact that we are also what we think has escaped many of us! This book gives a clear and simple insight into the workings of the mind and how it drives our lives in ways we may not have appreciated. Although very dated in some respects, this book is still very much worth reading as the age of the book has no bearing on the findings. Only with hindsight we can see that there is more truth to this subject than has been talked about in these pages but that need not dissuade you from reading this book.

The author occasionally slips into swiping at alternative theories or notions yet ironically ends the book imploring us to all be more open to everything that comes our way as life has many channels of expression! However, I wouldn't let that stop me from seeing his insights and knowledge.

For example the author believes that sleeping dogs should be left to lie, leaving the root of the problem to rest and just concentrating on changing the reactions by creating new habits. Personally, I see that this approach has some merit but from my experiences I wouldn't discount completely the idea of digging out the original problem and dealing with it, as that original wound will have many multi faceted parts to it that affect us in many different and subtle ways....clearly changing each one by forming new habits is time consuming and unnecessary if the original cause is removed. But like I said that doesn't detract from the many positive and helpful suggestions for getting in the flow of your subconscious power.

This book is amazing. I was able to overcome a long running bout w/ insomnia in almost no time and thats just the tip of the iceberg within the pages. I have since purchased several copies for friends. Its by far the most important book I ever read.

Not for the novice reader. Psycho-Cybernetics: A new technique for using your subconscious power should not be read in one sitting. You should take time to absorb and personally relate to every page. Do not expect to accept or even understand the subconsciously presented concepts of the human mind. Your first impression of the book will not be your last and most likely it will not even be correct. Share this book with a friend or better yet buy a second book. Compare your concept of the book with someone who has read the book. The book I bought was my gift to a Catholic Priest. He has not spoken to me since I gave him the book. So I do not know his opinion. Hoowever, I too read the book (a gift from a friend) many years ago. My perspective on my life and my general undestanding of society was permantly restructured.
