      I really enjoyed this book. It's summarized, so it was a fast read. I could see this being something I go to regularly, or any time I feel the need to get "back on track."

    The Million Dollar Secret Hidden in Your Mind (Condensed Classics) - Anthony Norvell

    INTRODUCTION

    A Better Path to Power

    You may have noticed a lot of books on attaining power making the rounds lately. Many of them, in my view, are unappealing. They encourage the pursuit of success without nobility, proffering methods like taking credit for other people’s efforts or ideas, intimidating acquaintances, withholding information, and being a general sneak.

    There is a better way. And it appears in the condensation you are about to experience of an overlooked and underestimated work from 1963: The Million Dollar Secret Hidden in Your Mind. Its author, Anthony Norvell, was a jack-of-all-trades success guru who reached his highest watermark with this practical, shrewd, and principled book. In it, Norvell makes memorable and substantive points about the non-exploitative pursuit of worldly success.

    Norvell wrote with more edge than a Dale Carnegie, but always with an eye on legitimate personal growth. For example, Norvell pushes you to cultivate influence through the law of proximity, which means seeking the company of people who encourage your finest traits, provide good examples to emulate or imitate, do not indulge your lowest habits, and challenge you to match them in mental acumen, not in money. Norvell observed how the most retrograde influences in your life are likely to come from old neighborhood friends and acquaintances, who forever see you as you were in childhood, and who nudge you toward past, and often dysfunctional, patterns of behavior.

    Here are some of my favorite Norvell aphorisms. They may seem elementary but their meaning is deeper than may first appear.

    •  Most people have a tendency to minimize themselves and their abilities.

    •  To be great, you must dwell in the company of great thoughts and high ideals.

    •  Do not be afraid to ask important people to help you.

    •  Your subconscious mind will give you valuable ideas, but if you do not write them down, they leave suddenly, and it is difficult to recall them again.

    • "Your mind likes definiteness. Give yourself a fiveyear plan for study, growth, and evolvement."

    •  You must create a need in your life for the things you want.

    •  Determine that you will never use your money for any destructive or degrading act.

    •  "Know what you want of life."

    •  You build your sense of self-importance by studying constantly.

    Yes, there are more sophisticated works of mental therapeutics than Anthony Norvell’s. You can read the essays of Ralph Waldo Emerson and William James (and you should); you can approach the complex metaphysics of Mary Baker Eddy and Thomas Troward; or you can immerse yourself in the luminous spiritual visions of Neville Goddard and Ernest Holmes. But there exists in Norvell’s work a sapling of all those figures. What’s more, Norvell writes with a delightful, infectious simplicity.

    I often think of how to reply when asked to recommend a single book on mind power. This could be such a book. It is easily digestible and surprisingly broad in scope. You’ll enjoy its ideas—but, above all, you must use them. Proof of their depth is in application.
