Product Description You have a genie that will grant your wishes. But, your genie will not grant wishes simply by rubbing a lamp or uncorking a magical bottle. The genie is your subconscious mind, and you must know how it works and how to use it before it will be your powerful servant. This book is your instruction manual.
The Genie Within is not "feel-good" stories and "have-faith" platitudes. This book explains in layman terms how to use your magnificent, powerful subconscious mind. It explains how your subconscious mind works, the laws it obeys, and ten proven methods for using it easily and effortlessly.
One lesson even gives you four ways to communicate with your subconscious mind and an explanation of why talking to it and making it your best friend are important. Once you have this information, you can use your genie to achieve goals, be more creative, change undesirable traits, and improve your health.
Very Special Book! October 19, 2008 I found this book to be very useful for establishing interaction with the subconscious mind. The book doesn't concentrate on feel good stories but instead gives you very effective methods for impressing what you want in your life onto your subconscious mind. I have read many books by Joseph Murphy and find them very inspiring; they too also highlight what you need to do to impress your subconscious but it just didn't click for me like Carpenter's book. Actually, I found it difficult to relax and visualize, as Murphy suggests, until reading Carpenter's explanation about the Alpha state and why it is so powerful and important. Furthermore, I would suggest that you also purchase the Affirmation Relaxation Routines CD and the Metronome Alpha CD from the authors website as they really take you over the top by training you to get to the alpha and connecting to your inner power.
Great book Mr. Carpenter!
This Book was created by The Author Together With His Genie Within September 11, 2008 For more than a year, after watching a popular documentary -"The Secret" by Rhonda Byrne, I been actively trying to find out more about the "Theory" and "Principle" that support the key idea that the show wanted to bring across to the audience - that's "The Law of Attraction."
One of the key reasons for me to do so is heal my "Gout" problem, which cause me to have leg pain frequently no-matter how carefully I controlled my diet. I wanted to understand how "Miracle was created". As I belief that when a miracle had happened once, it would be happening again if the principle is well understood.
Possibly that is due to my education background as an engineering trained professional, I would want to find out Why first before I can fully trusting any simple instruction. Along the way, I had gone though many books on self-hypnosis, subconscious mind, subliminal music, visualization, intuition techniques, Reiki and some new age stuffs... These seem to help a bit here and there, but surely do not satisfy my goal.
And, after reading about the many good reviews of other readers, I ordered one to check out what's the difference between this book and the others.
To my surprise! This book is Very Well Organized from the Basic Principle start from the Subconscious Mind to the Practical and Most Effective Technique of applying its Power. And, it link-up many of the other information and knowledge that I had learn earlier on.
Besides, the author also produced some CDs to facilitate the reader to practice the lessons in each chapter... Though the script can be read and recorded by individual... I would still strongly recommend to get a copy as some of the Track come with the Metronome... for Alpha and Theta Routine... (a 10Hz and 5 Hz tapping sound in the background that help to Synch the listener brainwave.)
After some training, I intentionally tried some food that is Not supposed to be taken by people with "Gout", and my body does not have any problem with it.
Therefore, I take some time to appreciate the author. Thank you very much - Harry W. Carpenter.
Last but not least, the application is much more in other respects in life... It is up to individual to explore.

Perhaps the best and easiest to read August 29, 2008 The Genie within is perhaps the easiest to comprehend (and read) book written on the subconscious mind. It is written in everyday language, without much the airy fairy examples of other books on the same topic. Further, the author does not spend 5 chapters writing about something that can be explained in 1 chapter, or even (sometimes) 1 page, and that alone makes this book stand out from others on this subject.
The Author acknowledges that the information isn't new, and that he has basically put together what he knows in a format that makes it easy to understand.
If you have never read anything on the subconscious, this (in my opinion) is the best book to start with. It will create many 'ah-ha, so that's what I've been doing wrong' moments.
That said, it does lack information in two distinct areas of the subconscious. The first one is in relation to symbols - the subconscious makes great use of symbols - anything you have an attachment to becomes a symbol, and symbols can go yet further (into the realm of fantasy) as they can do in dreams. Secondly, while he explains how the subconscious can't tell the difference between fantasy and reality (and how it can be used to set goals and program the mind), he doesn't explain that this crucial ability of the subconscious mind can be used to create new memories, which allows a person to gain more confidence in an area they aren't good at (because your subconscious mind uses past memories as a blueprint for how you react to future events, if you program new successful memories, your subconscious can use them as a guide, instead of previous encounters where you're had difficulty)
Overall, I've still given this book 5 stars because it is so easy to understand, and gives so much good information. My 'criticism' comes from reading multiple books (so far 7) on the subject, none of which contained a complete picture of the subconscious.

the most practical work of its kind..... July 13, 2008 1 out of 1 found this review helpful
My 13-year old son has spent the last school year putting into action the suggestions and insight he has gained from this book, and has made such progress (in scholastics, sports, and social arenas) that I have to attribute much of this to the lessons contained in this fantastic book. I also have been awakened and am improving in multiple facets in my life.
I have added about 40 or so similar books to our home library, including all the usual suspects (Napoleon Hill, Troward, Wattles, Vernon Howard, Christian Larson, etc.), but this is such a concise and actionable book that really summarizes the practical applications of the wonderful power in our possession - a power we all have but that we have to be reminded about and not neglect it.
I highly recommended to read this book with an open mind, and you cannot help but be a better person. There is an inexpensive CD that accompanies the book, available at the auther's website that is highly recommended, too. Good Luck, and enjoy reading and learning!
