“The Power of Your Subconscious Mind” is a self-help book by Irish author Dr. Joseph Murphy, published in 1963.

The revolution has now fully come to pass and has fundamentally changed how we think about many fields of mathematics.

This book provides a thorough foundation in the powerful ideas that now shape the landscape, with an informal yet rigorous exposition that builds intuition for the formidable machinery.
