About the author
Charles F. Haanel
264 books187 followersCharles Francis Haanel was a noted American New Thought author and a businessman. He is best known for his contributions to the New Thought Movement through his book The Master Key System.
Hannel's book The Master Key System, was published in 1912, when he was 46 years old. It is written in the form of a course in New Thought, mental development, financial success, and personal health. The book was heavily promoted in the pages of Elizabeth Towne's New Thought magazine The Nautilus. By 1933 it had sold over 200,000 copies worldwide. Haanel practiced the financial principles he preached and was a self made success who owned several major companies. According to Stevens, writing in 1909, "He was president of the Continental Commercial Company, president of the Sacramento Valley Improvement Company, and president of the Mexico Gold & Silver Mining Company."
The original Master Key System contained 24 parts or modules of study. The allegedly "lost" chapters of the Master Key System, chapters 25-28, which are found in some editions, are not original, but have been copied from the chapters 11-14 of A book about You. Among the key points of Haanel's system are what he refers to as the laws of concentration, attraction, and harmonious thinking and action. Unique to the Master Key System is a set of exercises that accompany each chapter, and which are systematically building upon each other — they are what makes the Master Key System a system.
In addition to the Master Key System, Haanel wrote several other books including Mental Chemistry, published in 1922, The New Psychology, published in 1924, A Book about You, published in 1927, and The Amazing Secrets of the Yogi, co-authored with Victor Simon Perera and published in 1937.
In 1919, Napoleon Hill wrote Haanel a letter thanking him for The Master Key System.[8] In the letter Hill stated, "My present success and the success which has followed my work as President of the Napoleon Hill Institute is due largely to the principles laid down in The Master-Key System."
Haanel was quoted in the best-selling self-help book The Secret by Rhonda Byrne, published in 2007.

Very amazing information from this book
April 22, 2023
Small and easy to read.
Made me have a inner conflict between my empirical self and my rational self. No doubt breathing techniques are amazing tools and science starts now acknowledging it, still the author uses way too many time the words "scientific" or "evidence" without letting the reader have any source of confirmation as a reference.
Obviously This is a "western way of thinking comment", but still, the author must admit that this is empirical knowledge, which is also fine, instead of calling it scientific knowledge.

Per me, che faccio yoga da sette anni, è stato un libro comunque interessante. Ci sono molti argomenti che ,solitamente, non vengono approfonditi (come il magnetismo), altri che conoscevo a menadito (come le quattro respirazioni). Si parla anche di levitazione o di metodo per riportare in vita gli annegati, ma resto scettica.
Da leggere.

Succinct points, with interesting techniques and tools. However, there are no warnings about dangers of incorrect practises/pitfalls. The copywriting sure needs improvement.
Overall, an interesting bunch of insights, but this book is not for everyone.

Para um livro tão pequeno estava à espera de algo diferente. As técnicas respiratórias mencionadas são interessantes, mas o autor não explica os seus benefícios nem qual a frequência correcta. Dá definições sucintas de conceitos importantes do yoga, sem os aprofundar, numa estrutura enumerativa pouco esclarecedora. Apesar de interessante, é uma leitura que levanta mais questões do que dá respostas.

A very early text on the origins of yoga and traditional yogis. An interesting read for yoga enthusiasts with exercises and breathing techniques, but a bit far removed from modern books on the subject.
