The Power of Your Subconscious Mind

Joseph Murphy · Self-help

Read

Takeaways

Very old-school and some claims have not aged well, but the core habit — deliberately feed your mind what you want it to work on — is genuinely useful.

The Model the Book Uses

  1. conscious thought
  2. repetition + belief
  3. subconscious accepts it
  4. habits and actions follow

↺ what you repeat becomes what you do

Murphy's model, not neuroscience — but as a habit loop it holds up.

What I Kept, What I Left

  • Kept: reviewing a problem right before sleep and letting it sit — I often wake up with the answer.
  • Kept: noticing negative self-talk and replacing it deliberately.
  • Left: the claims about curing illness by belief alone. Read those chapters as stories, not advice.
Take what works, question the rest.
