Self-help ✦ Penny’s Take 🎧 Audiobook
The Power of Your Subconscious Mind: Updated
Joseph Murphy · 2009
🎙 Narrated by Jason Culp (this "Updated" edition; note other editions exist narrated by Jason McCoy or Mitch Horowitz)
71/100
👍 Worth It
This is the granddaddy of the genre — Joseph Murphy's 1963 classic on visualization and the subconscious has never gone out of print, and this updated edition folds in newly available unpublished material. It leans New Thought/metaphysical rather than strictly biblical despite the scripture references, so know that going in if you want something doctrinally aligned. Just double-check which narrated edition you're buying — this one's Jason Culp, but other narrators exist for the same underlying text.
✦ Penny’s Take — this is The Review Group’s own editorial assessment. Penny’s analytical review line researched this book from real sources and scored it across the lenses shown below. It’s an honest first-party read — not a page-by-page personal one. The gold ✓ Penny Tested mark is reserved for books Penny reads cover to cover herself.
⚠ Parent note — our reviewers flagged: New Thought 'law of mind' philosophy, while citing biblical language, diverges from orthodox Christian theology on prayer and belief — worth flagging for faith-conscious readers as spiritually adjacent-but-not-aligned rather than occult.. We still scored it 71; these are context for your family, not an automatic skip.
