Like being afraid to fail willlead to failure.What is necessary is for people to focus on desired outcomes.But you have to overcome the old habits that die hard.Dr Benton quotes Napoleon Hill when he observed that "Whatever the mind can conceive and believe it can achieve".  Apparently Hill believed that there were no exceptions to this rule.He also brings up the Law of Attraction which as as it premise that everything around us, including ourselves, is composed of energy. This includes our thoughts! This is  basiced on a law of quantum physics that states "like energy attracts like energy".Therefore, as the author says "what we think about the most, we get more of it".There are even more good nuggets in this book like the power of visualization, how to train the subconscious mind and even how to sleep better.The book also goes on to explores the broad subject of immorality, and sexual immorality and how it can impact and is impacted by religion.The author presents his views on immorality that some will see as controversial and many may not agree with completely.
