Publisher's summary

Buddha declared that, "The mind is everything. What you think you become." "You become what you think about all day long" is how Ralph Waldo Emerson expressed it. In The Strangest Secret, the only personal development recording ever to receive a Gold Record, Earl Nightingale reveals that the secret is “You become what you think about." Using that principle, you can create an entirely different world than you live in today. Bruce Lee returned to the United States at the age of 18 with $100 in his pocket and the idea he often quoted that "As you think, you become." By the time of his early death a scant 14 years later, he had become a major motion picture icon and the father of mixed martial arts.

Your subconscious mind is responsible for just about every major thing in your life. You don’t have to consciously think about breathing, your heart beating, walking, or how to properly digest and metabolize the food you eat. Without the cooperation of your subconscious - the deep recesses of your inner self - change can be difficult to impossible. You might consciously have tried to lose weight. But if your subconscious mind was fixated on fattening food and how difficult exercise was, the experience was probably a challenge or a dismal failure. Therefore, changing one or more aspects of your life can’t occur until you affect change on your subconscious. In You Become What You Think About: How Your Mind Creates the World You Live In, Vic Johnson will take you step-by-step as he shows you how to harness and use the power of directed thought in your life.

Not recommended

Any additional comments?

I'm giving it two stars simply because the grammar was good. Everything else was a mixture of many other authors' works. It's not even an inch deep.

I think it is a must read.

I do need to watch the words that come out of my mouth. Control my thinking and watch who I have around me. This book is so right on with other books I have read but he puts it all together.

Simple, practical applicable

I liked that there were points and key takeaways for every chapter usually evolving a story and learned lesson. I listen to at quick speed because the stories can be a little too long.

Get your mind straight

If you are reading this book, you are already someone who is looking for positive reinforcement. This book will do it for you. Along with the great insights, reminders of an optimistic and proactive mentality, the end of chapter assignments will help gain your focus back. I also believe that every teenager and college student would greatly benefit from reading this book and completing all assignments.
