Secrets of Mind Power by Harry Lorayne...Book Reveiw

One of my close relatives, who got some idea on my memory power, has recommended this book 'Secrets of Mind Power by Harry Lorayne' to me saying, 'this is a very good book on memory training and its worth giving a shot'. Before taking this book, going by its title, I thought probably it would give me some helpful tips on how to remember things and on that note I started reading... Harry Lorayne, the author himself is the reason why I thought this book will give me some good tips on how to remember things because he is a reputed memory training expert. I understood just by flipping through few starting pages of this book that my preconceived notion was wrong about the memory kind of stuff.

This is a book that deals with overall personality development and all most all the topics deals with organizing oneself for self advancement.

The strong point of this book is there are number of real life examples with small stories in each and every chapter where every reader can identify himself. Application of the techniques were explained for almost every scenario. For example, there are numerous examples on how one can think effectively towards solving ones own problems within certain constraints.

The chapter on Think Logically - and No One Can Stop You concept is my favorite, which explains how correct thinking will guide you to success path by breaking your own fixed beliefs on certain aspects. There is a detailed discussion on creative thinking, which covers some of the basic objectives like how one can focus on thoughts, basic excesses of thinking, and how a normal thinking can be converted into logical thinking which can be used as problem solving mechanism.

Overall, this is a very good book on organizing one self towards successful life..
