He was a bestselling author, renowned speaker, and Minister-Director of the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.divinescienceministersassociation.org\/rev-dr-joseph-murphy.html\">Church of Divine Science<\/a>, a religious faction within the wider <a href=\"https:\/\/www.shortform.com\/blog\/what-is-the-new-thought-movement\/\">New Thought movement<\/a>. This religion\u2019s core belief is that God is good, the source of all creation, and omnipresent. Further, this faction teaches that negative circumstances only come about when we fail to practice the presence of God\u2014in other words, when we think and act in ways contrary to God\u2019s inherent goodness.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Murphy authored 36 books including:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.penguinrandomhouse.com\/books\/545021\/the-cosmic-energizer-by-joseph-murphy\/\"><em>The Cosmic Energizer<\/em><\/a>: includes ancient prayers, techniques, and meditations for calling upon the power of the universe to create abundance and joy in your life<\/li><li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.penguinrandomhouse.com\/books\/647257\/grow-rich-with-the-power-of-your-subconscious-mind-by-joseph-murphy\/\"><em>Grow Rich with the Power of Your Subconscious Mind<\/em><\/a>: covers simple but powerful ways you can focus your attention to create prosperity and live the life of your dreams<\/li><li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.penguinrandomhouse.com\/books\/545022\/within-you-is-the-power-by-joseph-murphy\/\"><em>Within You Is the Power<\/em><\/a>: presents powerful prayers and techniques from different cultures and ancient teachings from around the world<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p><em>The Power of Your Subconscious Mind<\/em> was originally published in 1963 and has since been reprinted by various publishers including <a href=\"https:\/\/www.penguinrandomhouse.com\/books\/549149\/the-power-of-your-subconscious-mind-by-joseph-murphy-phd-dd\/\">TarcherPerigee<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Intellectual Context<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><em>The Power of Your Subconscious Mind<\/em> contributed to the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.newthoughtwisdom.com\/about-new-thought.html\">New Thought Movement<\/a>: A spiritual movement that promotes the idea that we\u2019re all connected to a benevolent \u201chigher power.\u201d According to this movement, we must align our conscious thoughts with this power by thinking positively to achieve <a href=\"https:\/\/www.shortform.com\/blog\/happiness-and-success\/\">success and happiness<\/a>. Otherwise, our negative thoughts block our access to this positive force and create illness and failure in our lives.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Murphy\u2019s ideas are not necessarily new, and his success is partly due to the work of previous authors writing within the same genre. The premise that positive life experiences come from aligning your conscious thoughts and beliefs with a benevolent higher power has become increasingly popular since the publication of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.shortform.com\/app\/book\/the-science-of-getting-rich\/introduction\"><em>The Science of Getting Rich<\/em><\/a> by Wallace D. Wattles in 1910. Wattles, like Murphy, asserts that your thoughts are the <em>cause<\/em> of your success, and offers advice on how to <em>think constructively<\/em> to create health, wealth, and satisfying experiences. Besides <em>The Power of Your Subconscious Mind<\/em>, other successful books in this genre include:&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.shortform.com\/app\/book\/how-to-stop-worrying-and-start-living\"><em>How to Stop Worrying and Start Living<\/em><\/a>, Dale Carnegie: discusses how to cultivate a worry-free mindset<\/li><li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.shortform.com\/app\/book\/the-power-of-positive-thinking\"><em>The Power of Positive Thinking<\/em><\/a>, Norman Vincent Peale: explores how positive thinking empowers you to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.shortform.com\/blog\/steps-to-achieve-your-goals\/\">reach your goals<\/a> and live a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.shortform.com\/blog\/living-a-fulfilled-life\/\">fulfilling life<\/a><\/li><li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.shortform.com\/app\/book\/think-and-grow-rich\"><em>Think and Grow Rich<\/em><\/a>, Napoleon Hill: argues that you can <em>think<\/em> what you want into reality<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>The Book\u2019s Impact<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Published in 1963, <em>The Power of Your Subconscious Mind<\/em> has since been translated into 30 languages and sold millions of copies. It continues to be one of the most popular books in the self-improvement genre and has inspired influential self-improvement authors such as Tony Robbins (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.shortform.com\/app\/book\/awaken-the-giant-within\"><em>Awaken The Giant Within<\/em><\/a>) and Brian Tracy (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.shortform.com\/app\/book\/eat-that-frog\"><em>Eat That Frog!<\/em><\/a>). Both Robbins and Tracy write about similar ideas\u2014that you have an innate ability to achieve extraordinary success and can unleash your potential by training yourself to think positively.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Critical Reception<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><em>The Power of Your Subconscious Mind<\/em> enjoys thousands of excellent reviews\u2014the majority of reviewers have labeled this book as \u201cinspiring\u201d and \u201cmotivational\u201d and have employed Murphy\u2019s techniques to make dramatic improvements to their lives.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>However, some reviewers do find it difficult to take Murphy\u2019s argument seriously\u2014while he presents many anecdotal examples to demonstrate how people have improved their lives by employing his techniques, he doesn\u2019t offer any scientific explanations to back up his statements. These reviewers find the book \u201cweak on content,\u201d \u201cunconvincing,\u201d and \u201ctoo focused on religious concepts.\u201d In addition, some reviewers find it difficult to move past the repetitive style of the book.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Commentary on the Book\u2019s Approach and Organization<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Murphy organizes the material into 20 chapters to explain how improving your conscious thoughts can positively impact each area of your life: health, wealth, relationships, and success. However, the content of each chapter is largely indistinguishable from the content in others because each chapter simply reinforces one single concept\u2014that your thoughts impact your life experiences. Because the chapters don\u2019t progress to include any new explanations or research to back up Murphy\u2019s argument, many <em>The Power of Your Subconscious Mind<\/em> reviewers note that the material suffers from repetition.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Is Joseph Murphy&#8217;s The Power of Your Subconscious Mind worth reading?
