THE MASTER KEY SYSTEM

THE MASTER KEY SYSTEM

By Charles F. Haanel

About This Amazing Book

INTRODUCTION
The Master Key System is a personal development book by Charles F. Haanel (18661949) that was originally published as a 24-week correspondence course in 1912, and then in book form in 1916.[1] The ideas it describes and explains come mostly from New Thought philosophy. It was one of the main sources of inspiration for Rhonda Byrne's film and book The Secret (2006).

Description
The book describes many New Thought beliefs such as the law of attraction,[2] creative visualization and man's unity with God, and teaches the importance of truth, harmonious thinking and the ability to concentrate.[3][4] Each of the 24 chapters contains an introduction, followed by a sequentially numbered section which includes an exercise towards the end, followed by a section with questions and answers. At the beginning of the book is a Psychological Chart which readers are encouraged to complete, providing a self-evaluation of their creative power, time efficiency, health, mental ability and capacity to concentrate.[5] The book ends with a glossary and general question-and-answers section. Every chapter includes a quotation from people such as Jonathan Edwards, Lilian Whiting and Amos Bronson Alcott.[6]

Excersises Included
Each chapter ends with an exercise which the reader is encouraged to undertake every day for the following 47 days. The exercises are meditations[7] that require the reader to first sit comfortably in a chair.

Please note:
The Master Key System is said to be the very book that Bill Gates read when he attended Hardard, and decided to quit college and pursue his business dreams, thus leading to perhaps the most successful comoany in history, Microsoft!
