Believe in Yourself Paperback – September 2, 2010

Very inspirational book....I bought this for my son who was battling heroin addiction at the time. He is a very handsome man, 27 yrs old, 6'' 4" blond hair, dark skin and big blue eyes with long black eyelashes.....he turns the head of all the girls since he was 14........but still he suffered a very low-self esteem and a self defeating behavior. He was in jail at the time serving 90 days for possession of marijuana and so I thought this would be an excellent time for God to get his attention so I bought him three books, " Jesus Calling" daily devotional, "Self-defeating Behaviors", in this book . And so he began reading these books, he had no distractions and nothing but time, quiet time it that is, on his hands These books gave my son hope, helped him to target where his self defeating feelings spiraled from. This was 8 mos ago, today he is clean and sober with the guidance of God, an NA program, and a very good support system. He refers back to this book and keeps it on his bedside table along with his bible and the other books...one day at a time he is learning to manage his life.........he is a complete different person and he says ; these books help to give him insight and guidance along with the tools to believe in himself again. I cannot express, coming from a Mothers heart❤️, how meaningful that is. I was on the verge of losing my son, I just could feel it, every time the phone rang or there was a knock at my door i had deep dread of answering it.....everyday I lived in fear of the day would come when my heart would truly break....every time I heard a siren I would call my son....it was very crippling to me...to see my son clean, bright eyed, with a smile on his face is so liberating for me. I bought a copy for myself and a few copies to pass along to others.

This book is a step closer to making you successful. Loved all the examples and illustrations made to help you cultivate a positive mindset and how to overcome any negative emotions.

This book is PHENOMENAL!!!! The power of the HEART aligned with the images of the mind is REAL and is the the consciousness, the Spirit of the creator in us to bring into fruition what we truly FEEL and imagine. Fear and Hopelessness is not from or of the creator. It is a program to be forgiven and transcended to awaken to our Infinite, Immortal and GOD essence!

I enjoyed many of the aspects of the book, especially the positive affirmations that can impact your self conscience which can manifest into happiness. I did feel a New Age twist or theme even though God and Jesus are referenced. I still do not know what scientific prayer is.Overall it was a good read, very inspiring, and the point of view is helpful, especially in this day and age.

That's so beautiful book

You can get free pdf downloads online but I love a book (in case the grid goes down or...whatever else, I like books!)Not enough can be said about those who came before us and paved the way for us to train our minds to get what we want in life. If you don't change your thoughts, you will continue to reap the same results. "As ye sow, so shall ye reap" also applies to failing at life, in being broke, being poor in spirit, being depressed, being negative and it is all caused by our thoughts. Joseph Murphy is one of my absolute favorites. He also wrote The Power of Your Subconscious Mind. Do yourself a favor, start reading his work. If you have young adults who have inquiring minds, turn them onto how "your thoughts are magnets" and how you draw to you that which you keep in your mind.It's a gift to learn how to live prosperously and happily and it all starts, "from within". "Thoughts are things". Use it and prosper. God bless!

As someone who is well into their senior years one of my many reading interests are methods to develop your mind power and self-improvement techniques. Many years ago I had read several books related to the above themes and I recently purchased this brief 79 page soft cover book (Believe in yourself by Joseph Murphy) on Amazon. This book was originally published in 1955 making it 65 years old; however, since I was familiar with the author’s most famous best seller (The power of your subconscious mind) I decided to also read this particular book.In this volume the author focuses on the power of your imagination and also emphasizes taping into the subconscious mind and infinite intelligence. There are only three areas covered in this text: Make your dreams come true, the subconscious mind in business, and how to imagine success.I found this book somewhat interesting and informative, but consider it to be merely an introduction to author’s “The power of your subconscious mind.”Rating: 3 Stars. Joseph J. Truncale (Author: Martial Art and Warrior Haiku and Senryu).

The man was a genius way ahead of his time. I believe that positive prayer and affirmation and the belief that God wants what is good for us can deeply enhance ones life. We are what we think and believe and negative thoughts manifest negative things. Same thing is true of positive thoughts, they can bring about beautiful results in our lives. Though modern medicine has brought about many advances in treating disease, it is still our own God given natural defenses that have to to the healing. I believe that there is no disease powerful enough to overcome us if we have a strong enough faith and conviction deep within are God given souls to combat it; but to often we are lead to look outside for a cure, and the next miracle drug. After all natural cures and faith don't sell drugs, men do, and men make big profits off of illness and diseases. I'm not saying all pharmaceutical companies operate this way, but they don't look favorable on alternative methods either. In the end it's up to the patient and ones family as to how to best treat illness when it strikes; however the person must be proactive in their choices and go for what feels right for them.
