The Secret of the Ages by Robert Collier
My rating: 5 of 5 stars
I bought this title the same time as "The Riches Within Your Reach" also by Robert Collier. At the time, I didn't know if the volumes would be redundant or what new learning this title would present.
Cutting to the chase, this was actually a better volume and I have literally worn the cover off! I gave this book to my father (who actually introduced me to success books when I was a teen) and he loved it as well.
At 400 pages, it is chock full of deeper revelation regarding the power of thoughts, the mind, and universal supply. Given that Collier trained to be a priest, the reader should not be surprised and the number and directness of Biblical principles and quotes. However, I would not discount this volume based on differences in religion as he does not try to convert...but convey truths that have been substantiated globally.
You can not be in a hurry to finish this book but rather, take a chapter by chapter approach and journal the key learning and how you can apply it to your life. The chapters that impacted me the most;
"See Yourself Doing It" - which outlines the elements of effective visualizations and imaginations - clear, focused and vivid.
"The Law of Supply" - much like Emerson's Essay on Compensation, this chapter more plainly describes how to get what you need out of life...to demand it through thoughts, words and deeds.
As I state in most of my reviews, these types of books have to be "tuned" to the ear (or eyes!) of the reader and they are not for everyone. There are chapters that I have skipped having read them once, but there are others that I have read dozens of times over the years...it is truly a top 10 favorite of my library of "friends".
Get this book for your success collection!
