About the author

Ernest Shurtleff Holmes was an American New Thought writer, teacher, and leader. He was the founder of a Spiritual movement known as Religious Science, part of the greater New Thought movement, whose spiritual philosophy is known as "The Science of Mind." He was the author of The Science of Mind and numerous other metaphysical books, and the founder of Science of Mind magazine, in continuous publication since 1927. His books remain in print, and the principles he taught as "Science of Mind" have inspired and influenced many generations of metaphysical students and teachers. Holmes had previously studied another New Thought teaching, Divine Science, and was an ordained Divine Science Minister. His influence beyond New Thought can be seen in the self-help movement.

This book has little tidbits of wisdom, but I found it difficult to sense the overall flow of Holmes' message. It is based in a lot of judeo-christian rhetoric, which I actually found pretty distracting. I appreciated some of the points, especially as he spoke about faith and trust, accessing the Presence within and allowing its power to work in and through us. A quick read, but a little hard to handle.

A Fan of Ernest Holmes. Was introduced by my Grandfather when I was 12. I am now 60. This tiny book is an easy overview of life tools represented in The Science of the Mind. Handy. I will keep close at hand.

On a journey of self discovery? This is a great book in terms of showing practical ways of reaching your full potential. It's based on the New Thought philosophy and it speaks to those on the search....a GREAT READ. Although only 114 pages, it took me awhile to read as I had to stop and reflect it's impact on me. Worth the time and energy.
