Summary

Incredibly， the ingredients of a hugely successful life cost nothing at all。 In fact， we mass-produce 60，000 of them every day。 These are the thoughts that our mind creates。 They are responsible for the happiness and distress we experience。 They are the precursors of all we do。 We grapple with improving our actions， only to find our attempts undone by impure thinking。
If we focus on transforming our thoughts instead， incredible results will accrue from a fraction of the efforts。 Since all aspects of our life are so strongly linked to our thoughts， we have much to gain by deepening our understanding of them。
In this book， Swami Mukundananda， a world-renowned spiritual teacher from India and an internationally acclaimed mind-management authority， will teach you about watching your thoughts， directing them， dismantling harmful thought structures， creative thinking， meditation and much more。 When you focus on revolutionizing your thoughts-the most fundamental aspect of inner personality-you will discover yourself evolving to divine heights to fulfil the purpose of your life。

A Blissful readOne of the best books I've read on spirituality so far。 Reading this book consciously is itself equivalent to doing meditation for the length of this book。 Just by reading this book and even before practicing any of the methods mentioned in the book， I already feel blissful by the way how this book has addressed most of my questions with utter simplicity and had my head feel lighter。 I now have clearer directions to move on a guided path to attain what truly matters。 Profound rega A Blissful readOne of the best books I've read on spirituality so far。 Reading this book consciously is itself equivalent to doing meditation for the length of this book。 Just by reading this book and even before practicing any of the methods mentioned in the book， I already feel blissful by the way how this book has addressed most of my questions with utter simplicity and had my head feel lighter。 I now have clearer directions to move on a guided path to attain what truly matters。 Profound regards for Swami Ji 🙏🙏 。。。more

Swami Mukundananda has very beautifully blended in science， philosophy and spirituality。 The book starts off with making us realize that "we do not create thoughts"。 It is our mind that createsthem。 So are we not the mind？ It’s an eyeopener in many ways， especially the chapter on “How Thoughts are Created “。 I was astounded by the amount of research Swamiji has done to first summarize the findings from various scientific researches on mind and brain relation and then goes further and explains th Swami Mukundananda has very beautifully blended in science， philosophy and spirituality。 The book starts off with making us realize that "we do not create thoughts"。 It is our mind that createsthem。 So are we not the mind？ It’s an eyeopener in many ways， especially the chapter on “How Thoughts are Created “。 I was astounded by the amount of research Swamiji has done to first summarize the findings from various scientific researches on mind and brain relation and then goes further and explains the thought forms that humans are capable of。 The book is empowering when Swamiji says that on the journey to becoming effective thinkers we souls have a natural progression into connecting to something higher than us。 That is when he covers Spiritual Thinking and then ultimately Divine Thinking。 This book is on the principles and philosophies of living a good life， acknowledging the present moment， looking within and being of good virtue。 However， this book gives a broader perspective。 Swamiji makes the reader aware that we can distance ourselves from unproductive thoughts。 We are not obliged to succumb to every feeling of ours。 We don’t have to feel victimized as Swamiji describes。 Our thoughts really don’t have a hold over us if we learn to disassociate from them。 This is the freedom and prerogative we have。 And the more we use it， the more positivity we invite into our lives。 Thoughts are the seeds that turn into actions that subsequently determine our destiny。 And if we can master our mind and thoughts， we can create a beautiful life for ourselves。 。。。more

“Closed in a room， my imagination becomes the universe， and the rest of the world is missing out”。The aspect of perspective remains to be the most vital part of our existence as it steers the course of our lives。 In addition to it， the thought process of an individual catalyzes the same， however as it is well known that our mind is either our greatest friend or our sworn enemy and this implies suffering induced by thinking and this is what the book broadly speaks of。 The 280 pages long the book “Closed in a room， my imagination becomes the universe， and the rest of the world is missing out”。The aspect of perspective remains to be the most vital part of our existence as it steers the course of our lives。 In addition to it， the thought process of an individual catalyzes the same， however as it is well known that our mind is either our greatest friend or our sworn enemy and this implies suffering induced by thinking and this is what the book broadly speaks of。 The 280 pages long the book at hand has been divided into 14 chapters and each of them has been further divided into certain sub-sections with the ultimate objective of substantiating what is poignant。 The first chapter of the book has been titled “Let us think about thoughts” and it begins by stating the ever-present mysteries of the world we live in as much is obscured by unseen energies and vibrations which surround us and further its interplay with thought aspects has been shown in the form of a story and gravity of the same is shown via its effect on one’s surroundings and environment as well and when the author makes the reader aware of the fact that he who conquers his mind， conquers the world， the tone of the book is fairly well set for the readers。 Further， the second chapter of the book is titled “watch your thoughts” which shows how important it is to have control over our thoughts and how difficult it is as we do not have any vested control over them。 As the chapters go further， each of them tends to act as an extension of the previous chapter which keeps the reader aware of the underlying paradigm of the book and adds to the attention span of the readers as well。The writing style of the book has been kept simple and very easy to comprehend。 Additionally， the book is easily reflective of the inclusive aspect of it and can be easily termed as contemporaneous as well。 On the whole， the stated aspects of the book make it a must-read for anyone willing to gain some control over one’s thoughts as it would entail conquering the world。 。。。more

Since every aspect of our life experiences is so strongly linked to the quality of our thoughts， it becomes necessary to comprehend them in greater depth。The book is divided into two parts。 In the first half， Swami Ji has dealt with thoughts that harm us and techniques for eradicating or sublimating them。 In the second half， he has explained strategies to unleash our thinking to live life to the fullest。He says that the thoughts are produced by our mind， not us。 The mind and brain are separate。 Since every aspect of our life experiences is so strongly linked to the quality of our thoughts， it becomes necessary to comprehend them in greater depth。The book is divided into two parts。 In the first half， Swami Ji has dealt with thoughts that harm us and techniques for eradicating or sublimating them。 In the second half， he has explained strategies to unleash our thinking to live life to the fullest。He says that the thoughts are produced by our mind， not us。 The mind and brain are separate。 The book also includes several detailed meditation techniques。The book is essentially quite informative and insightful。 Even though it's easy to read， it's packed with so much information that I had to take it slow and I'll definitely re-read it so it's not going anywhere from my table anytime soon。 If not evident from the cover or the author's name （I do not think that's possible though）， the book connects self-help genre with spirituality。 So the book isn't for everyone but I'm sure everyone will learn a thing or two about themselves through this book。 。。。more

The Power of Thoughts by Swami MukundanandaIn this book， simplicity stands out。 Flowery language and serious thoughts could look like merit to some， but simplicity rules the roost perennially。 My Bhagavad Gita teacher often says， 'If you can't explain it simply enough， you have not understood it well enough。' 'The Power of Thoughts' simplifies our 'thinking about thoughts' step by step， bit by bit， one morsel at a time。 We all know stories have no expiry date。 They amuse。 They help stay a concep The Power of Thoughts by Swami MukundanandaIn this book， simplicity stands out。 Flowery language and serious thoughts could look like merit to some， but simplicity rules the roost perennially。 My Bhagavad Gita teacher often says， 'If you can't explain it simply enough， you have not understood it well enough。' 'The Power of Thoughts' simplifies our 'thinking about thoughts' step by step， bit by bit， one morsel at a time。 We all know stories have no expiry date。 They amuse。 They help stay a concept in your head。 You become a character in them。 Sometimes you smile with them and know where exactly a shoe bites a few other times。 Stories in the book drive the point home - straight and clear。 This is a book about thoughts。 Thousands of them crisscross our heads all the time。 A handful of them are positive and a bagful negative。 What are negative thoughts， if not ghosts， inside us and what are our actions shooting out of them， if not the apparitions outside us？ Fear and anxiety are the first cousins of negative thoughts。 So how to keep these guys away？ Read the chapter 'The Problem of Negative Thoughts'。 Here's a quote， 'They （negative thoughts） occur while perceiving a thing as being other than what it really is。' To manage my outside self， I need to work on my inner self is my takeaway from the book。 。。。more
