The Master Key System (1916) by Charles F. Haanel

Hi guys,

I have been coming across this book for quite a long time, and I finally started reading (listening to) it.
I’m 1/6th in, and so far it’s quite good! I thought I should share it with you, and give a little testimonial, in case, some of you might want to take a look at it.

It has 24 exercises to be done in the course of 24 weeks and judging from my knowledge of other resources and personal experiences, it looks like a gem!

Here’s an audiobook version on Youtube.

Awhile back there was an MLM based off this called the Millionaire Mind I think. This is an awesome book.

This is a great great book!! :100: recommend.
Really have to spend time each exercise one week pondering the same through out.
Really lot of layers of wisdom inside.

I didn’t know the two were associated. You’re right, a few years ago, all everyone talked about was the Millionaire Mind. By the time I tried to look into it, the trend seemed to have passed :rofl:

I have a couple of old copies lying around somewhere, but those are impressive!

I don’t know much about this version but it’s supposed to be a faithful recreation of the original. I paid a princely sum for them on eBay a few years ago. Leather bound. Well done.

it was a series of lessons

so all 7 volumes make up the 24 chapters, or is the 24 chapters are only from vol 1? the YT audiobook with images I’m reading seems like just one copy.

It is the same 24 lessons across the seven volumes. As Rose said, it was originally a set of lessons via mail order, that were sent out on a regular cadence.

Imagine to have been so blessed as to receive those lessons way back then.

The set did come as seven volumes at one point. Above is a link to an original volume 4. My set is obviously a reproduction.

Thanks for the answers ladies and gentlemen.

Here’s a PDF of all the exercises for those that might want to practice.

Just going to paste these excerpts from the Dream Seeds channel here, and bump this thread.

These make much more sense after reading this book.

Dream seeds is a channel that makes videos on contemplative practices. These are activities that guide you to direct your attention to a specific focus—often an inward-looking reflection or concentration on a specific sensation or concept.

Helping, fixing, and serving represent three different ways of seeing life. When you help, you see life as weak. When you fix, you see life as broken. When you serve, you see life as a whole. Fixing and helping may be the work of the ego, and service the work of the soul
