From the Amazon description:
“For decades millions of people have learned the secrets of success through David J. Schwartz’s The Magic of Thinking Big. Achieve financial advancement, work promotions, a positive outlook on life, fulfilling relationships, and lasting happiness. Aim high, and think Big, and you will not only reach but surpass your goals, you will be a happier, bigger person with a bigger life.”
This book was my introduction to Ernest Holmes, back in the early 2000’s. Frankly it’s been so long that I need to re-read the book because I don’t remember much of the content. 
The cover on my copy has a colorized version of an engraving from 19th century Nicholas Flammarion’s “L’Atmostphere: Météorologie Populaire” (Is this where J. K. Rowling got her name for the character Nicolas Flammel?) something similar to the one here. This image is such a vivid description of my life the last 20 years or so, and increasingly so as time goes on. Peering through the veil… wheels within wheels. What an experience! Alas, as you can see the current printing does not have this powerful image.
Here’s some of my bookmarked underlinings from the book:
My favorite is – and I have committed it to memory:
“You will rise and you will fall, you will get discouraged, you will become encouraged, but always you will be progressing, always, and so you must simply stick to it and the day will come when you will no longer say, “I hope, I desire, I pray,” but you will say, “I know.”
Others are:
“You have got to practice these things. Take a few moments each day in silence and recognition of Infinite life; Affirm one, It is in me now; two I can use it, my word goes forth into mind; three It takes my word and creates it; four, I see in my life the thing which it has created.
Taking that as a proposition, yo can handle as many things as you want to — as many as you can carry in mind.
Literally speaking, you and I are in an infinite mind which creates for us. Now, then, you can take thought and speak it forth with absolution confiction.
The length of time you must treat: you might have to treat an hour before you believe what you state. Think about it until you absolutely think that is the truth.
Do it two or three times a day, until there is a perfect calm confidence, knowing that it is done.”
“God can only do for you what you let God do through you.”
In other words, you have to ALLOW. Not force, allow. Let go, let God.
“Never have a sense that you are working against anything. There is and can be no opposition, except in your own thought.”
and
“You will find nine times out of ten that the ailments will be in some way related to the emotions.”
We have several other books that list diseases and their underlying emotion. I have noticed this myself. I have seen someone who was shaking in their boots in fear, but covering it up so that no one (but me, the empath) noticed. This person died of brain cancer. I’ve noticed that breast cancer tends to be associated with a blockage of the ability to either nurture or be nurtured. Think about the disease, and what it may symbolize and you’re likely to realize the emotional underpinning.
Bottom line: if you haven’t been exposed to New Thought, be prepared to have your mind blown.
This book is a must-read, must-have book. As I say, “It’s on the required reading list.”
This is one of my all-time favorites, from an all-time favorite author. I’ve been a fan of Shel Silverstein’s books “Where The Sidewalk Ends” and “A Light In The Attic” which are filled with wonderfully wacky poems like Sarah Silvia Cynthia Stout and My Mother Said I’d Lose My Head. I raised my son on these two books – among others like Douglas Adams’ Hitchiker’s Guide to the Galaxy five-book trilogy, Asimov, Heinlein and more.
You will find The Missing Piece Meets The Big O in the children’s section along with the other Silverstein books. Make no mistake, this is not a children’s book! It would be appropriate and entertaining to a child, and if consistently read to the child until those awkward teen years when the hormones start kicking in it would be immensely helpful to them.
No, this book is about healthy relationships.
It’s a little book, only a few pages, maybe a 15 minute read. It’s couched in simple line drawings and plain language typical of Shel Silverstein. But, it has a profound message for what it takes to have a healthy relationship; for what it means to have a healthy relationship. This book solidified for me the observation that I call the great irony in life – that you cannot HAVE a healthy relationship until you don’t NEED it. You cannot truly love another until you truly love yourself. The reality, if not the implementation, is as simple as that.
Buy this book. Read this book, again and again. If you have kids, read it to your kids, again and again – not so that they’ll get it but so that YOU’LL “get it.” All the while, contemplate what it means to be “whole.”
By the way, watch the “Relationships” video on this page (click here), which is along the same lines…
