“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 is the “Bible” of the “Centers for Spiritual Living,” (CSL) spiritual movement, also referred to as “Science of Mind” founded by Dr. Ernest Holmes (1887-1960). It contains the core teaching of CSL. CSL is an offshoot of the New Thought movement of the mid- 1800’s, which included Emerson, Thoreau, and others. Unity is another spiritual movement that came from the same roots, and is very similar to Science of Mind.
I read this book, along with Holmes’ “Love and Law” in the early 2000’s, long before I had discovered Unity or CSL. I only recently discovered CSL through a study group that formed recently in Charlottesville.
This book is pure spirituality – connecting with your spiritual self, with your spiritual reality and the power that comes with that realization. This book teaches you how to create your reality – your health, your happiness, your prosperity. It’s all in your mind.
The “Science” of Science of Mind, is the certain and specific method.

Since it was first published almost fifteen years ago, David Allen’s Getting Things Done has become one of the most influential business books of its era, and the ultimate book on personal organization. “GTD” is now shorthand for an entire way of approaching professional and personal tasks, and has spawned an entire culture of websites, organizational tools, seminars, and offshoots.
