Book Reviews of The Power of Your Subconscious Mind
Book Review: Be aware of WHICH edition you're getting!
Summary: 4 Stars
Do yourself a big favor (BEFORE you shell out your money for any particular edition of THE POWER OF YOUR SUBCONSCIOUS MIND) by taking note of the fact that SOME editions (such as the circa 2007/08 edition from Wilder Publications) feature Joseph Murphy's original text as it first appeared in 1963, while still other editions feature text that (thankfully) has been thoroughly, expertly REVISED by Ian McMahan, Ph.D.
Mind, NORMALLY I myself would tend to prize and prefer any famous author's own, original prose; however, here's a case where the REVISED edition's text is MUCH to be preferred over that of the original. The revised text judiciously retains Murphy's original thrust; it simply amounts to a much better draft. In fact, if you'll simply compare and contrast analogous passages of the respective editions, you're bound to agree that the REVISED edition is akin to what the original SHOULD have been from the get-go; indeed, it's as though Dr. Murphy finally managed to get himself a first-rate EDITOR to clarify and modernize his worthy prose.
The REVISED edition is much more consonant with the spirit of TODAY; by contrast, the original edition's prose seems somewhat quaint even by 1963 standards. [BTW, not that you're likely to care a hoot, but I'm a retired secondary/college English instructor, and I have an M.A. in English.]
I suggest that you don't just take my word. Instead, click on Amazon's handy "Search Inside the book" feature to peruse, at least, the first page of Chapter 1, "The Treasure House Within You." Do so not just for one or the other edition; nay, do it successively for BOTH the "Wilder" edition (ISBN: 160459201X) AND the Bantam Revised edition (ISBN: 0553583182). You can open up two respective windows on your computer monitor and view both editions side-by-side. That way, you'll have a much better idea of what you'll be getting BEFORE you place your order.
Finally, be sure to check out the enjoyable (but now-obscure) AUDIO adaptation: ISBN: 0136870139. That edition comprised three audiocassettes with a collective duration of about 140 minutes. If you can't find a copy to purchase via Amazon, perhaps borrow it via your public library's interlibrary-loan department. [Note: I've noticed that more recent audio editions have appeared as CD and MP3 editions, but I'm not sure that their content is even remotely comparable to that of the 1989 3-audiocassette edition from Prentice Hall. (I doubt it!)]
May the power be with you! :-)
