This is the one book that has enlightened me more than any other of it's kind. This is not a book that preaches to you, or offers advice that is difficult to follow. Although it was written over 50 years ago, everything said still holds true today.

The reigning theme in this wonderful book is this: Anything you can conceive and believe, you can achieve. This simple yet powerful idea is proven via numerous examples, and the author offers multiple techniques, hints, advice, and even secrets - that will change your life forever.

I think one of the reasons this book stands above any other books written by similar authors is that in each chapter, practically in every paragraph, the author finds a way to explain how this phenomenon works, and why it can work for anyone. If one example doesn't sink in with you, the next one will.

If I had to pick one part of the book that changed my life more than anything, it would be the section on creating treasure maps. This technique alone has enabled the majority of my personal and professional dreams to become to reality. If I had to pick one book, which would be the only book I could read for the rest of my life, this would be it. I guess you could say this book is my Bible.

Well, I can't say enough good things about this book. I intended this review to be short, but still I feel I haven't said enough. I want to thank Amazon for finding and offering this book. For many years it was out of print, but I guess enough people requested it, and now it's here.

Mostly I want to thank Robert Collier for writing it, because his efforts are responsible for enabling me to make my life better, in so many different ways.

In closing, I'd like to leave you with this thought:

Whatever you can do, or dream you can do, begin it. Boldness has genius, power and magic in it. -- Goethe

There is a reason why this book is still so popular after half a century: Robert Collier had a unique understanding of the world and how it works, and was the best ever at explaining it. This book answered questions that I'd not found answers to after many years of searching: Why doesn't my life work better? How do I know I am doing the right thing? Is there some way to remove the doubt I have about what I should be doing? How can I find my purpose in life? I only wish that Robert Collier could have met Jose Silva and written about the techniques that Mr. Silva developed... techniques that implement the things that Collier wrote about. They both understood... Jose Silva developed techniques, and Robert Collier helped us understand them. I hope everyone will read this book. Thank you.

RICHES WITHIN YOUR REACH

GOOD ESPECIALLY IF YOU ARE A COLLIER FAN
I purchased this book after reading several of Robert Collier's other books.
I am happy with the purchase and think the material is great.

The only reason that I can not give it 5 stars is that some of the information seems to be somewhat redundant and excerpts from his other books (not totally original) but overall it is well worth the time, BUT if you are new to Robert Collier you would probably do better with his Secret of the Ages book.

This is a compilation of several of his books.
Another incredibly good compilation is the 7 Motivational Greats which includes As a Man Thinketh and several others.

This book is loaded with wisdom. The writer presents priciples and simplifies them for the reader's understanding. The revelations I have recieved have led me to reconsider my way of thinking and resulted in breakthroughs in virutally every area of my life. The priciples contained withing require extensive contemplation and action. If you want to get loaded with rich concepts, read this book as an open vessel and the manifestations will follow.

This book by Robert Collier is good reading for those who have read "The Secret", but are puzzled by the lack of God in the equation and feel that there is too much emphasis on "me,me,me" in that book and DVD. I recommend you read Secret of the Ages first, but this book is a good 2nd choice. There is some redundancy from Secret of the Ages, also by Collier, but it is good reinforcement for the ideas set forth in both books. He emphasizes God in his approach to the law of attraction and reminds us that the most important thing we can do with the bounty received is find a way to make the world a better place and share with others.

I have just read this wonderful book and can recommend it toanyone interested in the art of conscious creation. I am a greatfollower of Esther Hicks channelled information and thought I wouldnot need anything else. However this book has added so much more tomy knowledge on this subject and I felt I had reached a state ofcomplete allowing and non-resistence just half way through. If youcan replace the religeious references to God with your "HigherBeing" then you will find it very relevant today. I would alsohighly recommend the work of Esther Hicks...

An Amazon friend "reminded me" of Robert Collier, an often overlooked metaphysical writer of the early to mid 1900s. I found this book (in great condition) in a used bookstore for only $1.00! I got this book when I was "full swing" in my metaphysical/spiritual search for answers and it wasn't because he really said anything new that endeared me to this man's writings, what endeared me to this author was the way in which he said it.

He is so convinced that Mind is the only Creative Power there was/is/will be that every page is filled with glorious reasons as to why this is so. He is a very thoughtful writer and encourages his readers to keep on keeping on in the pursuit of all that they desire to achieve. I know that even today, after almost 20 years on the spiritual/metaphysical path, I have those days where I doubt this "mind stuff"; that I just want to kick it to the curb and lead a "normal" life...whatever that means...and pretend that I have never even heard of this stuff, but then I will manifest something that I've been working on for some time, and I get in awe all over again at how true and valid and beautiful this mind stuff really is and I become very grateful that I am on the path that I am on.

I have not read more of Robert Collier's books, which I am quite embarrassed to admit, because, as I mentioned in the first part of this review, he is often overlooked, and here I am overlooking him by not reading more of his stuff. My Amazon friend mentioned that his book 'Secret of the Ages' was featured in the beginning montage of the movie, The Secret. You would think after 30+ viewings of the movie, I would've noticed, well, I guess we really do learn something new every day.

Perhaps, I will order this book very soon.

You see, after 20 years of studying, practicing, and teaching classes based on this stuff, I have come to know, and rather joyfully I might add, that there is never anything "new" in metaphysics, but that does not mean it should ever become stale or boring, in fact, just the opposite is True. We should always be getting fresh insights, new lights should be turning on in our minds,hearts, and souls, new ways to apply this invaluable stuff to our lives should be taking place because Truth not applied is merely theory, but when we live our Truth...when we live our spirituality...our metaphysics, people look at us and say, "Why is your life so charmed? What do you do?"

And in our heart of hearts, we'll know why; we were blessed enough by the Laws of Grace to have the gift of Truth brought to our awareness.

Don't be telling me that you came to Truth, Truth came to you and "she" knocked, and you answered.

(You can thank God, now.)

Here's is hoping that you stay in awe; that you continue to plant new seeds in the garden of your mind, heart, and soul and that you reap an abundant harvest. Here is knowing that even now we are blessed, healed, and prospered and so it is.

Peace & Blessings, friend...

Robert Collier's book is premised on biblical fundamentals and points to the starting point of much of what is written as self development and self improvement literature today. It brings an informed basis of rethinking one's view on life's possibilities and point's to the underlying and foundational thinking in most of today's literature - book worth purchasing for your library.
