5 Stars Master Key System
This book is one of those rare books that has the potential to be life altering for the reader. The author was undoubtedly in communion with a higher power as it was written. Read it with an open mind and the possibilities for self improvement are unlimited. Highly recommended!
5 Stars This could be life changing
My comments are based on the original book, not any re edits or revised editions. If you look online, you should be able to find an ebook of Charles Hannel’s original for free, since the book is over 75 years old it is in the public domain. Personally I spend all day in front of a computer, so it’s nice to take a break and read an actual physical book, and I like to circle, highlight and write on.
This book is incredible, I think this was probably “the secret” original edition since it was introduced in 1903, predating napoleon hill and several others. TO my knowledge this is the first book that mentions the “law of attraction” but it mentions several other laws as well. Although Prosperity through thought force
You could honestly come up with probably a chapter of material if you took each key point and went into detail describing it. But the information in this book is absolutely compacted to the max, no fluff at all. Honestly you could spend a long time just thinking about each section.
Unfortunately because it goes and lists everything, I know that some people will not find it a book that you can read through.
This is one that although it makes sense, it isn’t an easy read. There’s just so much information to take in, that most people will have difficulties reading it.
It isn’t like chewing through a hard to swallow think hide meat though, it’s more like very rich dessert that you want to savor.
But although it’s a difficult book, this is still probably the best book I have ever read in my life. It’s amazing that a book can have such deep profound information locked into every chapter. I read this prior to viewing “The Secret”, and was actually very disappointed in the secret because it simply doesn’t do the law of attraction justice.
I haven’t even finished this book yet because I like to absorb my time and take it in.
If you put all the success books out there together, you will still probably have more information in this one.
I love how it actually logically and factually explains the law of attraction, and explains through the cause and effect how it all works.
Seriously, if you are thinking about getting this book get it. If you don’t want to pay for it, search for it google and download it.
Here’s a couple google searches
“Master Key system” filetype:doc (will find a word document version)
“Master Key system” filetype:pdf (will find a pdf version)
print it if you’d like otherwise read it online.
5 Stars Great
I am starting week 5 of this book. I swear doors are opening and answers to things are just coming out of nowhere. It seems people are beginning to be drawn to me more also. I tried reading the book at 19 and the language was too difficult and complex to grasp, so that could be the problem many readers faced earlier. Later in life it makes sense. You need to read slowly and grasp the exercises. I can’t imagine all of the things to be gained by week 24. Defiantly worth the [...].
4 Stars Good info and excercises
I’m not a fan of the “Law of Attraction” in general, but I think this book has merit. It’s got some explanations and exercises for getting one’s mind in the right frame for cooperating with the forces that be, in any case.
The only trouble is that it’s very badly written. It was originally meant to be a weekly mail-order course, and maybe it worked better in that context. Each chapter begins with a brief argument, then several paragraphs of short statements to reflect on, then usually a weekly exercise, and finally a Q and A that’s really a summary of all the paragraphs that made up the bulk of the actual chapter. There are several chapters where the weekly excercise is the only information of real value it provides — perhaps an abridged version of the book should be released.
5 Stars Become a ‘Master Mind’ with the Master Key!
I found out about this book on Twitter. One of my twitter friends ‘tweeted’ that it was one of the best books that he’s read. In his tweet he posted a link to the amazon page. When I got to it, I was glad to read that the book was back in print.
Now, I realize that the book is floating around on the internet as an ebook but I prefer to have the real thing.
After having read this book, I have to add it to my list of the top 10 books that I’ve read in my life. I’ve read many of the classic books like Think and Grow Rich, The Power of Positive Thinking, Law of Success, etc.
And in many ways, I prefer this book.
The closest book that I’ve read that is similar to this book is Three Magic Words by US Andersen. I really believe that we have greater control over our circumstances than we realize. One of the other reviewers stated that some of the more prominent self-help coaches and gurus don’t really believe that you control 100% of your results.
Now, the problem with that thinking is that it defies the laws of the universe. The world we ’see’ is the world of effects that have definite ’causes’ and those causes originate in the world within. So, it’s our job as spiritual beings to focus our thoughts on the things we desire and trust that The Universal Mind will show us the ways and means, in other words, ‘the how’ of achieving our desires. Once we receive divine guidance on the ‘how’ then we must take action.
The book provides a lot of practical advice for people in the areas of health, relationships, and business. One particular line in the book that I thought possessed great truth was when he said,
‘Difficulties and obstacles will continue to come until we absorb their wisdom and gather from them the essentials of further growth’
This is a book that you need to read slowly. Take your time with it and let your mind absorb the great Truths that are presented by the author.
After you’ve finished reading this book, you will truly realize that you have no excuses for the results that you are manifesting in your life. And for those of you who are relatively succesful, you too will benefit from this book.
