Many books have been written about success and self help, but this book is at the top of the heap. The techniques are very powerful and they do work. The mirror technique is especially powerful. This technique enables one to develop a hypnotic and magnetic personality. The author writes in this book that the methods must not be misused or there will be a rebound of evil. This is no idle warning. I found that Hitler used the mirror technique to develop a hypnotic personality. The mirror method gives one the power to use suggestion to influence other people. This is how Hitler could overtake Germany and people would kill at his command. No doubt Hitler was a master at the mirror technique. This is an incredible book that also shows how to use the powers of visualization to gain great power. Nothing I wrote is an exageration. This book is awesome. I have seen the results for myself. Please heed the authors warning and do not use the book for evil. If you do you do you will surely suffer the consequences.
When this book is applied to your own life you will find powerful changes that your belief effected. The "mirror technique" is particularly potent as are the exercises for auto-suggestion. It seems to me that the Creator gave us complete power over but one thing and that is our own minds. People who run this book down or make sarcastic statements about it show that they don't know the force and power of their own minds. Every single day of your life you get up and then go to sleep. In both of those activities and the countless ones in between, you are conciously using the power of belief in all that you say and do. Trouble is, people get "lulled in" to accepting the bare minimum of life and after years of familial, educational, societal, and personal programming, they forget that they literally have a gold mine between their ears. If you doubt this, then try and think of one case of anyone achieving success without even the most rudimentary use of the power of belief. This book helps you learn not only how to use your own inherent power, but learn to use it wisely. This boo
Claude Bristol reveals the supreme secret of the ages to anyone who is truly ready to receive it. A great bok.

The Magic of Believing by Claude Bristal is one of those magical books like Think & Grow Rich that never get old and never stop delivering on their promises. Like Napoleon Hill's work, many if not all of the top trainers of today have Claude Bristol in their work.
Back in 1976 I promoted a bodybuilding contest which featured Arnold Schwarzeneggar. Arnold was big on mental conditioning. He talked about using mental pictures and running movies over and over in your mind to see success before it has happened. Exactly what Bristal says to do in this book.
About the same time, I was involved in anetwork marketing company and all of the top people raved about The Magic of Believing. Many of these people were making $20,000 a month and more and this was in 1970s $! That is like $100,000 a month today.
What impressed me was when I read about the "mirror technique." Really nothing new, a lot of people use it. Actors use it. Speakers use it. The most successful sales people use it. What impressed me was when I read that a drunk man talked himself sober in about 5 minutes using nothing but the mirror technique. The top rep int he company I was in at that time said he never left home without using the mirror technique. He even used it throughout the day. It is the fastest way to reach the subconscious mind.
I heard that some people had doubled, tripled and even quadrupled their incomes with use of this technique. I started using it before sales calls, early in the morning and last thing at night. My income went from $480/month to $2,500/month (in 1976)
Like Think & Grow Rich, this is must reading for anyone who wants to reach their maximum potential. While you are at it, read TNT another great book by Bristal. And if you don't have it already, get Think & Grow Rich. |

Have you ever known someone who constantly thinks doom and gloom, and seems to find it at every turn? Have you ever known someone who expects the best of every situation and always seems to get it? That, according to author Claude Bristol, is The Magic of Believing.
The Magic of Believing works because Bristol was himself a skeptic at first. He presents this controversial topic with complete objectivity, addressing and overcoming objections throughout, and creates an excellent case for the power of belief.
Bristol reminds us that "...whatever we fix our thoughts upon or steadily focus our imaginations upon, that is what we attract." He doesn't assume that thought alone will bring success, but also encourages the reader to develop a plan of action, and gives simple steps to help make it a reality.
I can personally vouch for the validity of this material. The unconscious application of these principles has taken me to international acclaim as an author, when three years ago my only resources were a written affirmation statement and a strong belief.
Here's the funny part...it only works if you believe that it will work! If you don't, it won't. Do yourself a favor - hang on to that naive belief long enough to see it work for you. This book could be where it all starts. |

Many books have been written on success, but this book condenses the wisdom of all of them. Bristol talks about suggestion, visualization, the mirror technique and telepathy. All success books use this in one form or another. The instructions are practical and they do work. You must be persistant at these techniques, perhaps for years, but they do work and bring astounding results. Bristol gives case histories of the use of these techniques that are very enlightening. I have read of other uses of it. Hunter Davies wrote a book about the Beatles and he quoted Paul McCartney as saying that anyone can be a success if he tells himself this often enough. Hard work is essential of course, but suggestion is certainly a most powerful assistant. |

This book purports that through the use of positive thought and mental imaging, one can change their life and character. The way this book communicates this idea is by giving success stories and briefly explaining the process itself.
Here is the real deal about this practice: It works, but it doesn't usually come all at once and give people continuous miraculous results. Like any skill worth possessing, it takes persistence, practice and trial and error.
People often experience much initial success when first trying out the principle of mental science (or affecting circumstance through thought and creative visualization) but they often experience some difficulties also. Its not a panacea for life, its a practice that deepens over time and through effort and study.
This is a great book because it tells you that you have tremendous latent power within you, that you have access to it and that it can change your life. Well, all these things are true and the world needs to wake up to the possibilities of the inner life. What the book doesn't emphasize is that more often than not, its a process that requires commitment and persistence to acquire as opposed to a magical cure all.
Even so, the beginner will see results and those results will continue as they continue, gradually becoming more meaningful, but perhaps not as explosively as this book emphasizes through its many dramatic success stories.
My reccomendation for reading The Magic of Believing: Enjoy its positive tone and motivational nature, and try the practice for yourself. Claude M. Bristol has a way with words and this is a great place to start learning about some really cool principles. However, also know that sometimes the real transformation occurs not through a good book and a little bit of practice, but through sustained and sincere hard work just like any other skill or field of study.
The good news is, if you find that metaphysics (the science described in this book) is your bag and you are willing to put in the hours, the results will be worth it.
