About this title: Both inspiring and practical, Claude Bristol's principles of success have motivated people for over half a century. Many people cite THE MAGIC OF BELIEVING as one of their favorite books, and attribute their success in life to it. Bristol offers a message of affirmation, along with advice on success and relationships. Though his language may at first seem a little dated, his clear and simple message comes through: believe in yourself, have a vision, be focused, and don't give up. "To win, you've got to stay in the game."

"A gift from my Uncle Dave: I learned so much, daily I have to catch my thoughts and retrain my thoughts: "The person with a fixed goal, a clear picture of his desire, or an ideal always before him, causes it, through repetition, to be buried deeply in his subconscious mind and is thus enabled, thanks to its generative and sustaining power, to realize his goal in a minimum of time and with a minimum of physical effort. Just pursue the thought unceasingly. Step by step you will achieve realization, for all your faculties and powers become directed to that end.""
"This book I chose because i was leaving the country and wanted some inspirational words to read. Its extremely outdated (the author was in world war one, and in the book the US hasn't landed on the moon yet...haha) which makes most of his refrences un-relatable to us today. the message is good though and I think he does make many valid points that I plan to use in my everyday life now. I'll admit thought that I skipped through it a lot because he writes example after example after example, its like "i get it already". I think the book could perhaps been half as a long and still gotten the point across. There really is power in your thoughts though!"
"Captivating self help! I worshipped Napoleon Hill but this book is even juicier, more intriguing and much easier to read and grasp. Ex-uni friend Tony loaned it to me 15 yrs ago, just shortly after i finished reading Think & Grow Rich which was gifted from another friend. It hyped me up for the genre. Since then i've embarked on an infinite journey of over-spending and under-budgeting for parapsychology/metaphysical/quantum physics/mind body soul books. Wonderful!"
