In the introductory biography which precedes Haanel's work, the publishers highlight at least one reason why you might want to read this book:
"It is Silicon Valley's secret that almost every entrepreneur who made a fortune in recent years did so by studying the words Mr Haanel penned over eighty years ago....Since this book was no longer in print until recently, copies of The Master Key System became a hot commodity in the Valley".
Now I've no way of knowing if this statement is true, but such is the power of Haanel's system that it seems eminently plausible. I would not for a moment want anyone to think that Haanel presents some kind of 'cosmic ordering'-type, 'get-rich-quick' system, and neither is it a book about Law of Attraction. It is far deeper, and more important, than that. Haanel claims that his system can revolutionise your life. I've been working with this kind of system for years, and am emphatically convinced that it works.
At the heart of Haanel's approach is an analytical thesis that was pioneered by Thomas Troward (to whom Haanel refers in this book). Essentially, this thesis is that the universe is governed by an overarching creative process.
Haanel calls this "Universal Consciousness"; Troward called it "Spirit". Neither refers to "God", because the Universal Mind that they describe is an essentially impersonal, 'subjective' force, equivalent to the subconscious rather than the conscious in the human mind. It is more akin to a highest law of nature - a law of creativity - than to a deity. It is impersonal. You do not worship it, but you align your approach with it. Haanel's term "Universal Consciousness" is probably more apt than Troward's "Spirit" because the latter might carry connotations of the occult (though that was certainly not what Troward meant).
Haanel argues that everyone's subconscious is a part of the Universal Consciousness. This gives the individual access to great creative power, in any aspect of life. Anything that manifests in your external world, Haanel argues, has been manifested first in the inner world of your mind. The trick, therefore, is to learn how to discipline your inner world - in other words, to channel your thinking - so that inner creation is positive.
His method, originally published as a part-work, is to set out twenty-four stages of study, each including a mental exercise. Each chapter contains a list of numbered, very precise propositions. This is a very effective, very focused approach.
If you are sceptical about the idea of a universal creative process - and do not believe that thought drives the material - you are not going to like The Master Key System. But if you accept a Troward/Haanel-type analysis of cause and effect, you will find The Master Key System an extremely powerful and effective tool.

The wonderful thing about The Master Key is it's concise dialogue. I have read many books in this genre and most seem rather drawn-out. Haanel's approach is to the point. 24 chapters, each of less than a dozen or so pages. Each chapter commences with a summary of what we can expect from it, with the next few pages explaining the exercise in easy to apply detail. A summary of what we have learnt ends each chapter and we are advised to read that chapter several times before moving onto the next. There isn't a superflous word in it. Hits the mark 100%. If this book was the only book in a schoolchild's desk they could go straight to the top in life!

I first ventured into this type of reading almost a year ago when I first read 'the secret'. If you are interested in having a life full with optimism and joy then The Master Key System is for you.
It is mainly a meditation guide but it is so much more than that. In the book Charles F Hanaal goes deep into the theory of thought and control over our every day thoughts to bring about your best life.
I would highly reccommend this book for anyone wishing to gain full control of their life.

The blurb clearly states that this book was written in 1912, however, there are references to VCR, videotapes and cellular phones in my kindle edition! Read more

Yuk. One of the most boring books I've ever read, and delivered in an arrogant, pompous way too. If you want some Law of Attraction type book, buy something else.
