Publisher's summary

Buddha declared that, "The mind is everything. What you think you become." "You become what you think about all day long" is how Ralph Waldo Emerson expressed it. In The Strangest Secret, the only personal development recording ever to receive a Gold Record, Earl Nightingale reveals that the secret is “You become what you think about." Using that principle, you can create an entirely different world than you live in today. Bruce Lee returned to the United States at the age of 18 with $100 in his pocket and the idea he often quoted that "As you think, you become." By the time of his early death a scant 14 years later, he had become a major motion picture icon and the father of mixed martial arts.

Your subconscious mind is responsible for just about every major thing in your life. You don’t have to consciously think about breathing, your heart beating, walking, or how to properly digest and metabolize the food you eat. Without the cooperation of your subconscious - the deep recesses of your inner self - change can be difficult to impossible. You might consciously have tried to lose weight. But if your subconscious mind was fixated on fattening food and how difficult exercise was, the experience was probably a challenge or a dismal failure. Therefore, changing one or more aspects of your life can’t occur until you affect change on your subconscious. In You Become What You Think About: How Your Mind Creates the World You Live In, Vic Johnson will take you step-by-step as he shows you how to harness and use the power of directed thought in your life.

Great book

Loved it! Great mindset book. Everything starts in your mind. Excellent short listen. Will listen multiple times! Everyone should listen to this book

I have listened to this book more than twice.

Good advice in this book if you do what he tells you! Read it more than twice!

I keep coming back to this book

It won't blow your mind, but it will remind you of what you are doing right and wrong in your life. It's a simple guide to life. I've listened to other books in this category, but none of them motivate me like this one. I love it

The narrator's unusual delivery wasn't my cup of tea the first time around, but the second time listening to the book I started to become quite fond of his unusual way of speaking

Great book

This sums a lot of LOA books and personal development. Great listen , easy to understand

Good short book

This is a good short book. It reminds the reader we can change. Everything is in our mind.

Good motivation

Good actionable content. Narration voice was distracteing due to it sounding arrogant and pompous.

Goodtiming

Very well read, just what I needed and just the way I needed to hear it. Creates the desire moreso than, for me, if I was reading it myself.
Good job.

Out of the rut

This is a good book. Good points on getting you out of the rut good ideas I’m focusing outside the box. I would suggest purchasing this book for your library.

Get your mind straight

If you are reading this book, you are already someone who is looking for positive reinforcement. This book will do it for you. Along with the great insights, reminders of an optimistic and proactive mentality, the end of chapter assignments will help gain your focus back. I also believe that every teenager and college student would greatly benefit from reading this book and completing all assignments.

I think it is a must read.

I do need to watch the words that come out of my mouth. Control my thinking and watch who I have around me. This book is so right on with other books I have read but he puts it all together.
