Dr. Joseph Murphy’s The Healing Power of Your Subconscious Mind is a remarkable guide to unlocking the vast potential of our minds for self-healing and personal growth. While Murphy references scripture and uses certain spiritual examples, this book is not rooted in any specific religious doctrine. Instead, it’s a universal approach to understanding the subconscious, making it accessible to readers from all backgrounds.

Murphy explains complex ideas in a way that feels both accessible and empowering, guiding readers on how to harness the subconscious mind for lasting change. This volume, combining The Healing Power of Love and How to Use Your Healing Power, is an inspiring guide that is as relevant today as when it was first published. For anyone interested in personal growth and the untapped potential of the mind, this book is an invaluable resource that can genuinely reshape the way you approach healing and wellness.

This is a great material for people who want to know what beneath himself into the subconscious mind, to know why he do this or do that. There are also so many interpretation that takes from the Bible also.

This is timeless material that I am grateful to have read. The author encourages the reader to embrace their personal power while embracing a higher power. He gives his interpretation of many sections of the Bible. I found the book to be helpful and inspiring.

The Healing Power of Your Subconscious Mind. This reader first discovered the writings of Joseph Murphy (May 20, 1898 – December 16, 1981) in the early 1970’s through his book The Power of Your Subconscious Mind. Meditation and New Age ideas were popular subjects and led to a deep study and appreciation of metaphysics. This was a new title for my library, so I was eager to read it. This volume in the simplest of terms explores how emotions affect health and explains how faith in God and affirming prayer can work miracles. I voluntarily reviewed a copy of this book from NetGalley. Highly recommend.

My own fault for not researching this author beforehand, but the title and entirely non-religious synopsis appealed but this trod far too heavily on the Judeo-Christian God aspect for my personal tastes (believer, but not religious). This definitely affected my reading enjoyment and if it hadn’t been a NetGalley title, I would have given up after the second chapter.

While I do believe in the power of the subconscious mind and I’m sure others will find the positivity in this combination title - two reprint titles in one book, it didn’t work at all for me since it was really, really, really heavy on the God-Jesus mentions - it permeated each and every chapter and I had a difficult time separating the wheat from the chaff. And what I did get struck me hypocritical - if you don’t get what you pray for, you didn’t pray correctly - I don’t like this type of message; blaming the reader strikes me as the author being unable to explain the prayer-lifestyle connection with any cognizant and rational reasoning.

For the hypocrisy alone, I cannot and do not recommend this.



Thank you St. Martin’s Essentials and NetGalley for the DRC

The message seems to be a worthwhile one. But I found my self having to “translate” too much of the olde 3English into a contemporary aesthetic. Nice messages throughout but likely not a winner for the types of audiences I speak with and teach.
