Review - The Science of Mind by Ernest Holmes

A steal at just under $5 from learnoutloud.com. I listened to the audio version. It lasts over 9 hours. If you prefer a hard copy grab it from Amazon.

This book comes with a great pedigree.

The Science of the Mind was originally published in 1926 by the founder of the worldwide Religious Science movement. It was completely revised in 1938 by Ernest Holmes and Maude Allison Latham; this 1997 edition is the 1938 version with an added introduction by Jean Houston and a one-year study program that breaks the weighty tome into digestible bits. Using creative techniques, Holmes guides the student in easy-to-follow steps toward mastering the powers of the mind to find purpose in life. His explanations of how to pray and meditate, heal oneself spiritually, find self confidence, and express love have helped millions change their lives for the better.

For me, the audio seemed to just go on and on and on. Perhaps despite my keeness. Now was not the time to listen to it. So many other things were going on during that week. Maybe that was it. It just didn't gel for me. Yet the reviewers on Amazon nearly all seem to love it.

Summed up, it is saying you create your own reality. Yet for $5. It's a great addition, worthy of a second visit, some time in the future.

Happy Travels
