The Genie Within: Your Subconcious Mind--How It Works and How to Use It

What I really appreciate in this book are the specifics on the Alpha state. I have virtually all of Joseph Murphy books and he has repeated the instruction often, of the necessity to drop into that drowsy state, before reciting his reprogramming statements in your mind.

But this particular writer brings his own experience and knowledge of many different sources to the table, including Silva Method and cites many excellent current writers, and not so current.

The writer cites specific writers/books who have instructed the reader to only read goals in the morning when you are either coming up from Delta to Beta and you are suggestive, or at night when you are slipping from Beta back to to Delta and thus have that Alpha time again available to you.
(he mentions "It Works" as one of the books with the simple instruction to read/envision your goal at morning and night )

He does this to help convince you of how many experts in the past have always known of the effectiveness of the Alpha (and theta states).

(When a writer mentions a lot of sources, especially ones that I've read, I can really "crunch" into his material and it "gels" better.)

What I like about this book also, is that he refers to sooo many other sources and his sort of un-said disclaimer is that he's not trying to tell you something that's not already known since Ancient times.

If you want a solid book with a complete set of tools for making the maximum use of your powerful subconscious mind, get this one.

I have been a student of prosperity and abundance since 2006, and into metaphysics much longer, and ran across this gem of a book a couple of months ago.

I have read many books on how to change your life, how to get rich, etc, but Harry's book is the best I've read so far. Why? Because he makes a very important point which most others miss, and it's this: In order to change your life, you MUST change your SUBCONSCIOUS programming. He not only makes this very clear, but goes on to show you HOW to do so in a very direct and easy to understand fashion. He also cites sources and has a great bibliography, many of which I've read. I bought both the book and both of his CDs, and use the CDs every night before going to sleep. I have noticed many positive changes in myself as a result, and the best part is that they were effortless.

I also love the fact that Harry is accessible. If you have any questions, you can contact him through his website, [...], and he answers right away. With the wisdom of close to 40 years of study and teaching, you don't have to go all the way to Tibet to learn-he's a Master living right here in the USA, and you will definitely want to pick his brain. His website is worth checking out also as it's full of all kinds of great information, and Harry has sample chapters that you can read. If you subscribe to his newsletter, you won't get a ton of junk e-mails trying to get you to sell some product. And if you're not satisfied with the book or CD's, you get your money back. It just doesn't get any better than this!

If you're serious about changing your old subconscious beliefs that no longer work and really want to live a wonderful life, and want instructions that are clear, concise, direct,and that actually WORK, then I highly recommend this book. A+++

In this book, I got more than I bargained for in every way. I was expecting at least a rehash of Joseph Murphy or Claude Bristol, and I considered it a calculated risk that he wouldn't have a new angle I didn't consider. But he does (Harry Carpenter). It isn't that he has anything new, but he simplifies and updates entertainingly the universal (I'm not going to say old) like every great inventor... I'm not going to say it's equal to, but I'll use these two examples: from the candle to the light bulb or from the telegraph to the phone. Well, the comparison is something like that. I mean sure, saying that is a little dramatic don't get me wrong. But as he says in his book, you have to paint a sometimes overly vivid picture on the mind's canvas to get a point across and especially when it is gestation, you get the greatest results. This is a great book in that it solidified all of my concepts about the mind and hypnosis and all that and the way the Universe works. It's not anything new, but a GOOD reaffirmation of my accurate belief system about getting exactly what I want out of life. As for rehashing, well his rehashing is more interesting and exotic, (As semi-quoted from above) not a rehashing of established works like Joseph Murphy or Claude M. Bristol, but more interesting and exotic like Jose Silva or Theodor Laurence (talking about Theodor Laurence the Psychosymbology/Magick expert and Jose Silva of Silva Mind Control), so like I said, it's not anything new, but it's anything that works and it is good, albeit somewhat exotic and interesting. But anyhow what is good, is good. And that concept comes through strongly in this book.

This is a great book. Lots of practical instructions that are very easy to follow. I really love this book and am currently applying it to improve my life. If you like "The Power of Your Subconscious Mind" you'll like this one more because it actually contains instructions you can use. I highly recommend it to anyone who is trying to change and improve their lives.

I could not agree more with the comment of amazon.com that IT IS THE LAST BOOK YOU WILL NEED ON THIS TOPIC! Over the last 12 months, I have read countless material about the power of the subconscious mind and no doubt this book is my last!

Other material I have read about the subconscious in first place showed and taught me about the power of the subconscious mind and I am grateful for those. But it just kind of stopped there. I knew I had this gigantic power as we all do, but did not really know what to do with it exactly and clearly. Actually it kind of gets frustrating that you know you have got this power but don't know what to do with it... And, yet this book made me "believe" in this power in a true sense, internalise it and understand completely clearly what to do with it.

As I finished this book, a button got literally turned on inside me that I felt as strong as the entire universe. It got me into action in an area of my life where I knew I could do something well yet everything needed because I am created with that power and I SO wanted that... but somehow deep inside something was stopping me... and this has been so for a long long time... I think most of us can relate to this kind of a story... But here is what happened: the day I read this book, the locked gate was open... with clarity, enthusiasm and action flowing.. now it is like a waterfall... as I read this book a switch got literally turned on inside me and in came the light...

In fact, after seeing the dramatic change in me, my husband and my 11 year old son got so curious to hear what in the world got me into action the way I did. When I told them about the book they were thrilled. Now my 11 year old son is reading the book along with me (as I am reading it again and my husband will wait for his turn) because I am a walking proof of something so powerful in front of their eyes.

I am simply grateful! God bless you Harry! That is the best way I can summarise the value your book has had on me... Thank-you for your contribution to our lives.

I just ordered another copy of this book because my husband and I keep tripping over each other to refer to it. We also ordered the Chinese translation for a friend of ours (he was thrilled). Finally, I ordered the CD the author has made to help with getting into the various states of meditation that are discussed in the book. Very nice CD too.

This book is beautifully written, excellent style and grammar and so clear and easy to follow. The little drawings in it make it all the more interesting and memorable. Also, I don't know how many of the others who read this noticed, but Harry Carpenter not only wrote this book, but he self-published it. How cool is that?

I urge anyone who has any interest in learning about the workings of his/her subconscious mind and how to navigate through life with some semblance of control over the outcome or the path taken to get this book and read it, then reread it several times. Do this until you know how to apply this information with your eyes closed (literally and figuratively).

There are so many books written on this subject matter, but few are as clear, concise and devoid of fancy, confusing theories and platitudes as this one. This book is a quiet, unassuming little masterpiece. It is a true gem. Easy to understand and to follow and written with real heart, soul and know-how, so it pretty much carries you along once you get into it. Don't miss out on this one. It is the owner's manual to taking charge of your life. No joke.

Thank you, Harry. What a great contribution you have made!

This is a great book. Not too long. Easy to read. Reaffirms what I have always heard about the power of our subconcious mind. It's a shame that we waste all this power and ability.

Harry Carpenter is a genius in taking a very complicated idea re: the power of the subconscious mind, and developing simplistic tools, usable tools to learn to surpass the limitations and restrictions we place on ourselves. I have not read another book which was more helpful.

Loved this book! Loved this book! it helped me so much! I hope this book will remain in print for future generations. So helpful! Great ideas!

Telling it like it is, simply but informative with exercises and examples.
Easy to understand and implement. I would recommend this to anyone
who is curious how the mind works and how to make it work for you.
