While reading this short-read book, I don’t see any specific reason as to what was the need of writing this, where he already covers every aspect brilliantly on his very famous one “The Power of your Subconscious Mind” or we can say the Distilled version of his previous book. Anyhow, let me summarize and highlight only the most important aspect of this book. Here they are: • Our brain consists of two parts, the Conscious and the Subconscious, where the Subconscious is the seat of the emotions. • Your body is just like a Ship, where the captain is the leader or the Conscious part of your brain and worker of the engine room treats as a Subconscious part, now all it depends on as to how the captain leads the workers (Subconscious mind) and the ship will flow accordingly. • Once we understand and unlock the true potential of our Subconscious mind, we can solve any problem we want, and we can achieve anything we need to. “More smiling, less worrying. More compassion, less judgment. More blessed, less stressed. More love, less hate.” ― Roy T. Bennett, The Light in the Heart • Surround yourself with the positive people, feed the positive vibes at your mind. • Your mind can work miraculously, one need to understand the true potential of Subconscious mind. • Treat your Subconscious mind like a Bank, what you deposited, only can be withdrawn. “You might be poor, your shoes might be broken, but your mind is a palace.” ― Frank McCourt, Angela's Ashes • Diets, multivitamins, and supports of all kinds will not keep these people young. They must realize that they grow old or remain young in accordance with their processes of thinking. Your subconscious mind is conditioned by your thoughts. If your thoughts are constantly on the beautiful, the Noble and the good, you will remain spiritually young regardless of your chronological years. (from SyedReads Review) “Happiness depends on your mindset and attitude.” ― Roy T. Bennett, The Light in the Heart In short, a good motivational booster, it can change one’s perspective towards life and himself & remember, the subconscious mind can heal you. . . #SyedReads #ThePowerofyourSubconsciousMind #JosephMurphy #BookReview

This book published back in 1910 by Wallace D. Wattles, though a good book but I don’t agree to the primary premises of this book, as it was written back in early 19th century that don’t completely fulfilling the theories we are living these IOT days. Wallace actually asked, that readers should adopt and believe in this strange creed and the most repeated content throughout the book which you’ll find includes: • "There is a thinking stuff from which all things are made, and which, in its original state, permeates, penetrates, and fills the interspaces of the universe. • A thought in this substance produces the thing that is imagined by the thought. • A person can form things in this thought, and by impressing his thought upon formless substance, can cause the thing he thinks about to be created." The only part which encouraged me a lot to read was Creative vs the Competitive part of getting rich which actually again consider only in theory to some. “Gratitude is a powerful catalyst for happiness." The whole process of mental adjustment can be summed up in one word – Gratitude. “Draw nigh unto God, and he will draw nigh unto you” Give wealth to the poor, and he will get feed for a time or 2, give them the inspiration, and they will help themselves a lot of so they don’t die poor. Remember there are 2 kinds of people in this world, the GIVER & TAKER. May be the taker eats better but the giver sleeps better. Where god helps those, who help themselves. So, when you happen to read this book content in just 100 pages, you’ll get to know there won’t be any cheap tricks or short cuts to getting rich in bla bla days but yes helps in changing the perspective of your thinking that will ultimately help you in getting rich. Well I wouldn’t rate this book no more than 3 out of 5, a one time read only. . . #SyedReads # TheScienceofGettingRich #WallaceD.Wattles #BookReview

"Art is theft" - Pablo Picasso A very short book (only consists of 161 pages) but surely I can say A Crash Course to boost your creativity. Austin Kleon describes beautifully to look at the world like an Artist do. Productivity is Limited. Creativity is Infinite. Try to figure out what's worth stealing; then move on to the next thing. "What is Originality? Undetected Plagiarism" - William Ralph Inge If the Human hand is incapable of making a perfect copy; so why not copy only to what you love to see, so copy copy and copy until you find yourself in it. So here's the formula: Think > Study > research > no rules at all > Think again > brainstorm > Steal from many > Use your hands & stay away from screen> Mix ideas > transform > Credit > Remix Buy a small notebook, make it a logbook & call it "A Diary without a Law" Build your own world around you. Surround yourself with the stuffs you love most, if you are a person with more than 2 or 3 hobbies, pick all of them and have the books around yourself you love most. "Your elevation requires your Isolation" ENJOY YOUR CREATIVE WORLD OF CAPTIVITY . . #SyedReads #StealLikeanArtist #BookReview

Book Review | Draw to Win by Dan Roam “There’s always room out there for the hand-drawn image”- Matt Groening The book title says itself “Hey let’s do a Crash Course this creative way, use your visual mind to follow the process which includes: 1. Draw 2. Sell 3. Lead 4. Innovate & 5. Train Where the premises of this book is very simple yet full of creativity and conveys a message that “ANYONE CAN DRAW!” Picture help people learn, and the best picture are the simplest. This book consists of 10 chapters based Crash Course and let me cover the highlighted points from each: Chapter 1: • Drawing isn’t an artistic but a creative thinking process. • Today’s conversation is all about visual and to join this conversation, you need to be more visual too. Chapter 2: • Business has always been a visual; from Draw to sell to lead to innovate to train defines a Business Cycle. • Picture helps you win’ not everyone is an artist, but everyone is visual so next time you says “You can’t draw, start with a circle and give it a name”. Chapter 3: • Drawing is not an art, but is thinking. • Seven basic building block shapes includes: 1. Dot 2. Line 3. Arrow 4. Circle 5. Square 6. Triangle & 7. Blob Chapter 4: • Vision is predictable, when you draw the right pictures in the right order, you can command attention for a long time. • Lead the eye and the mind will follow. Six essential pictures for visual explanation includes: 1. Portrait 2. Chart 3. Map 4. Timeline 5. Flowchart 6. Equation Chapter 5: • Learn to add simple emoticons and stick figures to charts and diagrams helps you bring your data to life. • If you want to capture attention, show people. As more than anything else, people are entertained in other people. Chapter 6: • The core library of vision archetypes is small, learn it & you can inspire extraordinary action with few images. • As a leader, your number 1 job is to provide vision, and that requires a picture. Chapter 7: • Think the way people think. Picture sells products where visual thinking creates the right picture to sell an idea. • To make sales magic, use the 75/25 rule; draw 75% of your picture in advance and 25% during your pitch (let your client do the remaining part). Chapter 8: • Innovation simply means “Learning to look at old things in new way.” • If you want to create something new, first draw something old, then turn it upside down. “Experience is the teacher of all things” – Julius Caesar Chapter 9: • To train, draw the story. • The best training is connecting the dots; when you hand over the pen to your client, you both learn more. Chapter 10: • The ABCs of drawing consists: 1. A: Awareness; 2. B: Beauty; 3. C: Clarity, Comprehension & Communication • The right picture can speak a million words. Training isn’t a time drain, is a knowledge gain. So understand your visual mind and unlock the true power of creativity. . . #SyedReads #DrawtoWin #DanRoam #BookReview

Before I should start writing review, let me add one of the Napoleon Hill’s priceless quotation which stated below: “A positive mind finds a way it can be done. A negative mind looks for all the ways it can’t be done” Napoleon Hill Our mental attitude can become as hardened as our arteries, so is our mental diet which is as significant then our regular diet plan. It is very crucial to prepare our subconscious mind accordingly as our body is just like a ship where a captain acts as a conscious mind part, & crews as a subconscious. So our mind totally up to us as how should we take it & how to control? As Jeff Keller in his book “Attitude is everything” said that the wise man always at first think, act and then speak. However what we do is totally a different scenario where we act at first and then we think. “Do it now and before anyone tells you to do it” Napoleon Hill Here are 5 facts worth remembering: 1. Thoughts are things. 2. Our choices our outcomes in life. 3. What we think about we become. 4. A positive mental attitude is the right mental attitude in all circumstances. 5. Our mind can only entertain one thought and/or emotions at a time. Judith Williamson by taking a very powerful content from Napoleon Hill stated that; “If Parents think and talk in terms of sickness and poverty and failure, they will pass these states of mind on to their children who, in turn will use them as stumbling block to failure throughout life. “ So we need to Think, act and speak in terms of health, affluence, achievement-and give our children steppingstone to success. “Happiness may be found only by helping others to find it” Napoleon Hill As we all know word “KARMA” where what goes around comes around so it all depends on our deeds and better we should control our deeds or else we can’t control our thoughts. As Self-discipline is crucial as it begins with the mastery of your thoughts. It helps you control over 14 major emotions where half are positive, rest are negative, and here they are: Positive Emotions: 1. Love 2. Sex 3. Hope 4. Faith 5. Enthusiasm 6. Loyalty & 7. Desire Negative Emotions: 1. Fear 2. Jealousy 3. Hatred 4. Revenge 5. Greed 6. Anger & 7. Superstition . . . #SyedReads #GoodasGold #NapoleonHill

Though I bought this book coincidentally however after reading this amazing self-help book, my perception about life was wrong to somehow. If you gonna read the book title, may be you gonna disappointed however nothing will be relevant to what you are searching in the book regarding the title. Where Robin says be kind, be humble, don’t be hard on yourself & if you made a mistake, it's totally alright so learn from it & keep moving. See troubles as a blessing, learn from it so it won't be trouble anymore, read more books, live a life fully, get good as asking & always carry a book with you so your time's be valuable than & meanwhile the others waiting in the line are complaining, you will be growing and feeding your mind a rich diet of ideas found in great books. Set higher goals, be a CEO of your own life, stop complaining & start living. At the end, I want to conclude by telling you that life is just like a boxing ring, where it doesn't matter how hard you hit but it's about how hard you get hitted (very much inspired by Rocky movie) but to keep fighting & be humble. "Live fully so you can die happily" . . . . . #SyedReads #ThePowerofyourSubconsciousMind #JosephMurphy

So it all starts with what the Subconscious Mind is all about, how it works, where your mind is the captain of your ship, your body is your environment and the Subconscious part takes order from the captain or the master of this ship. Now it's totally upto the one how and by which means to take order and to proceed with. You think with your conscious mind, & whatever you habitually think goes into your Subconscious Mind. Your Subconscious Mind accepts any suggestion, no matter if it's true or false and so is the different reaction to the same suggestion. What all matter is what suggestions you are taking up to? Your Subconscious has the answer to all problems. IF you suggest to your Subconscious prior to sleep, “I want to get up at 6 A.M.,” it will awaken you at that exact time. The day we are born, we are bombarded with the tons of negative thoughts/suggestions, whereas not knowing them how to counter them, we unconsciously accept them and so it lead us to those worst scenarios/circumstances. Your Subconscious is your book of life, so how you write it from the day one, matters all. Mental healing in the ancient vs the modern times, almost works the same, whereas the Law of life is belief what do you believe about yourself, life and the universe as "It is done unto you as you believe" The vital step to success is to firstly find out what you love to do and then do it what you love. In that case, if you really don’t know what you really love to do, what you want to achieve, or how on earth do you find a field of effort that you will love so pray for guidance in this way, "The infinite intelligence of my Subconscious Mind reveals to me my true place in life." Your Subconscious Mind never sleep or rest, it is always active, controlling all your vital forces. However the healing process takes place takes more rapidly while you are asleep. So trust your Subconscious Mind completely, know that its tendency is always life wards. It responds you in very vivid dreams. Diets, multivitamins and supports of all kinds will not keep these people young. They must realize that they grow old or remain young in accordance with their processes of thinking. Your subconscious mind is conditioned by your thoughts. If your thoughts are constantly on the beautiful, the Noble and the good, you will remain spiritually young regardless of your chronological years. A woman once asked Thomas Edison, the electrical wizard "What is electricity" He replied "Madame, electricity is, USE IT" So same applies to life as well. You cannot see your mind, but you know what have a mind. You cannot see a spirit, but you know you have the spirit of game. Likewise, the spirit of goodness, truth and beauty moving in your mind and heart are real. Believe in yourself & you can definitely do wonders. Feed your subconscious mind with the positivity, you're the only thinker of your universe & your thoughts are creative, & so creativity happens every time. Your subconscious mind is the builder of the body & can heal you. . . . . #SyedReads #ThePowerofyourSubconsciousMind #JosephMurphy

“Keep your face always toward the sunshine - and shadows will fall behind you.” ― Walt Whitman So it all begins with mind, as you sow, so shall you reap. Though if you have already read Jeff Keller’s “Attitude is everything”, when reading his 2nd “The Winning Attitude” to somehow both great books conveys the same message. As you would expect from the title, it says all where this book totally focuses on our attitude, and how to beautifully shift your mind towards positivity. This book consists of 54 short parts which all says “Attitude is everything” which truly is. It really makes you think about how much your mind really determines your outcome, to achieve anything you want & to become succeeding, maybe there are other principles you have to apply, but it all starts with an attitude. Jeff justifies in a very fine way of how to handle different scenarios with a positive attitude if it’s to handle the criticism or to surrender the ego or to unclog yourself or to be aware of the patterns. The secret of happiness is to count your blessings while others are adding up their troubles.” ~ William Penn. Many people in wheelchairs were smiling and happy while others in good health & with full mobility were miserable; Then there were those who were happy even though they had very little money and we're fortunate just to have a roof over their heads & enough food to eat, while others with considerable wealth & lovely home were unhappy because they couldn't afford to buy a larger home. Where I would conclude this powerful content’s review by adding one of my favorite part, chapter #16; “The Tiny Black Dot”, where during some of his presentation, he takes an 8 ½ * 11 piece of white paper, make a little black dot somewhere in the middle of the sheet and then he show the sheet to people in the audience and he ask them “What they see”, where unfortunately majority will say that “They See a Black Dot” where we tend to look at our lives to very same way, we have been blessed with loved ones, many great things around us yet we focus on what we don’t have. Below are some of the trends that he suggests to follow, which ultimately help us create a life filled with meaning, connection and uncommon success, here they are: • Taking responsibility • Honoring every individual • Authenticity • Tolerance of Ideas • Positive Focus • Simplicity & Spontaneity • Inner Peace All I have seen teaches me to trust the creator for all I have not seen.
