I first read The Silva Mind Control Method in 1984 while in college. Every time I applied his visualization techniques, good things happened. After more than a few amazing tangible results, I realized it wasn't a coincidence.
Since then, every time I've re-read this book, especially the first 14 chapters, great things have happened.

If I had to name a couple of books that really had a great impact on my life, this would definitely be one of them!
Overall, this is a great book. Many of the concepts you will find in other books on visualization, mind control, and the alpha state were probably taken from this book. The only drawback is that an overwhelming number of pages were dedicated to advertising the Silva Method Mind Control Class. The author states in the book that you will not learn everything you need to know unless you take the course. He ensures that promise by only providing glimpses of what will be available in-depth during one

I was told this book would change my life. It did; it wasted four hours of it. The book states the obvious and seems to be more of a glorified advert for the classes that the author presents.
Los primeros capítulos son interesantes (cuando se hace la introducción del método y se habla de los ejercicios), sin embargo, la mayor parte del libro es publicidad y narración de casos donde fue exitoso. Deberían ahondar más en el método, y ya que las personas saquen sus propias conclusiones y/o propios casos de éxito.
read this YEARS ago and it helped me learn a method of future visualization created to make things happen for yourself. Kind of weird, but toally effective in getting one's self to do what you think you cannot achieve. It's a bit like selling your soul to the devil, but you never really learn how to control other's minds despite the title.
I read this book because I had learned the Silva Mind Control Method in 1994 but had stopped practicing it and wanted to get back into it. I took the book out of the library to read it to see if it is sufficient to self-teach the method and it is so I bought the book. Now I just have to start practicing!
This was José Silva’s first book on the Silva Mind method. It is what I would call a “must-read”. Learning this method should be made obligatory in all schools and be offered to children at an early age.
José Silva learnt all that he presents in his Mind Control method in the course of working with his own children, years ago, to enable them to do well in school. When he experimented with mental training exercises, the children’s school marks quickly began to improve, and, amazingly, they began t ...more

This book introduces many ways to take control of your mind. Among them, I got interested in the following two ways:
1. Meditation
According to this book, there are two kinds of meditations: one is passive meditation, and the other is dynamic meditation.
Passive meditation is in itself is effective in that worries and feelings of guilt or anger are absent during the meditation. Also it leads to what is called a happy stillness, or inner peace.
Jose Silva suggests that dynamic meditation, which g ...more

Step by step ESP! Read it in 2003 in 1 sitting, and then surfed the net for more. Voila, the power of synchronicity had worked for there was a weekend workshop coming near me in HK. Of course i enrolled and it's well worth the hefty fees for a thorough guided training of the Silva Method. As a bonus, students can re-sit in a refresher anywhere in the world again for as many times we wish. Enlightening!
Very interesting read. I like the meditation strategies for getting into an alpha wave state. Many of the ideas in this book are difficult for me to believe but...with as much as we are learning about quantum physics and how they are shifting our current paradigm of reality, the wild ideas in this book "could" be true. I will never know. HA
I was fortunate to attend a workshop by a Brazillian Priest in Silva Mind Control as a youth (thanks Mom!). This book and workshop was my first true introduction to creative visualization - in detail. I re-purchased a set of audio tapes of this book in 2005, to re read.
"По-нежен и по-лесен начин за справяне с лошите навици - това е въображението. То попада право в целта и постига онова, което желаете... Когато волята и въображението са в конфликт, винаги побеждава въображението."
Good book if you have any interest in the paranormal and the power of the human brain.
Very inspiring and life changing, same as Murphy's The Power of Your Subconscious Mind but less reader friendly. You actually have to reread this book to grasp the methods and techniques!
As a mental health professional, former clergy, hypnotherapist and life coach, I found this to be a wonderful culmination of many tools. A must read.
this book changed my life.

Easy to follow through and learn about how does your mind can a different and better level.
5 stars for being short and snappy. These kind of books tend to drag their message out which undermines the point of them. This book has a little of that but it's barable. Whether or not this method works is not relevant for the way they bring their message forth. But because of the simple and plain information it's easy enough to try ;)
Our mind is either our master or our servant. If it is our master, we'll find ourselves within a jungle of never-ending thoughts, jumping from one to the next, to the next, to the previous one, and back where we started, without control, direction or purpose. If it is our servant, we will be the ones to guide it & make use of the wonderful tool it really is. The choice is ours.
I find the book very empowering and although I haven't put anything into practise yet, for me, it seems very easy and straight-forward and I believe it may help me with many aspects of my life.
Some very cool techniques to control our mind. Heard about placebo effect. This book take it further.
Interesting first few chapters and half way through it’s all about self-praise and the reader might lose interest in completing the book. 3 stars for the first 14 chapters.
Some books you need to read twice.
I quite this in the middle, felt very boring.
One of the TOP BOOKs. Must read. So much insights and tricks, loved it, there is magic in it. Tap the full potential of your mind.
Interesting meditation method. I would like to take a course sometime as I'm not sure I would be able to master this method simply by following along with the text.
Tendría 7 u 8 años, no más que eso cuando leí "El Método Silva...", un libro que estaba en la biblioteca de casa.
Estoy asombrada de la cantidad de ilusos que captó, casi sin palabras.
Me acuerdo haber pensado, ya en esa época, que Silva era un charlatán, que su método era inservible y para mentes débiles, y que todo aquello era una gran farsa. Bueno, con los años rellené aquella descripción con un poco más de cinismo y unas cuantas floridas descripciones más al respecto. Creo que desde entonces ...more

They teach this method personally, and there's a book from it. The two learning methods are quite different. The personal training is faster, however the book is more "adventurous". This technique does not offer anything new to people already involved in spiritual studies, however it is a great starting point for anyone getting into these realms. The method is quite down-to-earth, suitable even for skeptics and religious people.
