Joseph Murphy's self-help classic "The Power of Your Subconscious Mind" explores the mind's amazing potential and offers useful methods for using the subconscious to achieve both personal and professional success.

Below are my key highlights & learnings I took from the book.
Understanding the Subconscious Mind
The Author emphasizes the core notion that our lives are significantly shaped by our subconscious minds. He makes the case that our thoughts are sown in the subconscious mind, which he compares to a fruitful garden. Positive or bad, these thoughts have the capacity to affect our behavior, actions, and, eventually, our destiny.
The book draws attention to the differences between the conscious and subconscious minds. The subconscious mind works below the surface, storing memories, beliefs, and emotions, whereas the conscious mind is in charge of reasoning, decision-making, and everyday awareness. Our routine behaviors and instinctive reactions are controlled by our subconscious minds.
The Power of Belief
The notion that faith is a powerful force is one of the book's main themes. According to Murphy, your subconscious mind accepts anything you genuinely think to be true and works to make that reality a reality. Your subconscious will seek to support any deeply entrenched false views you may have about yourself or your talents, which could result in self-destructive behavior and failure.
Conversely, you can rewire your subconscious mind to act in your favor by developing positive thoughts and affirmations. In order to replace limiting beliefs, Murphy stresses the significance of constantly affirming positive affirmations. These statements should be favorable and in the present tense. For instance, you ought to state, "I am successful," rather than, "I will be successful."
Success and Prosperity
The book explores the notion that one's subconscious mind has the power to draw success and wealth into their lives. The "Prosperity Law of Command," which Murphy outlines, holds that people can command riches and abundance by claiming their right to it and believing that it will materialize.
Fear and uncertainty, in Murphy's opinion, are significant roadblocks to achievement. People can unlock a world of limitless opportunities by letting trust and confidence in their own abilities take the place of these negative feelings. The book offers a variety of accounts of people who have improved their financial circumstances by altering their attitudes and beliefs toward money.
The Law of Attraction
The Law of Attraction, a well-known theory that posits that similar things attract one another is one of the key highlights brought through out the book. The Author contends that people can attract pleasant situations and people into their lives by continually focusing on positive ideas and beliefs.
Murphy's theory that the subconscious mind is the key to achieving goals is the foundation of his application of the Law of Attraction. He emphasizes the importance of keeping a positive outlook and not concentrating on challenging circumstances or restrictions.
Below are some practical techniques & exercise to put into action to in order to achieve what you desire.
1.Affirmations: Write down affirmations for various aspects of life, from health to wealth to relationships & keep repeating them until it becomes a default setting in your mind.
2.Visualization: Create mental images of your desires and goals, infusing them with emotion and belief.
3.Relaxation and Meditation: Relax and meditate whenever you a get some peaceful time to quiet the conscious mind and access the subconscious.
4.Using Sleep: This is a powerful one. Use the time moments before sleep to program the subconscious with positive thoughts and affirmations.
Conclusion
This book has helped me leap out of life's brutal trials. The positivity it emanates just while engaging in the book will make your day.
You can either engage with it through your eyes (reading) or through your ears (listening). Any which way, it will stay with you for the rest of your life, if you truly take your time to devour it.
