How to Get Anything You Want Through Your Subconscious Power, 7 Lessons

How to Get Anything You Want: a seven-lesson ebook in two formats

Digital download bundle: one EPUB ebook and one PDF. No physical book or audiobook is included.

What do you want most—and what keeps pulling you in another direction? In How to Get Anything You Want, Elsie Lincoln Benedict and Ralph Paine Benedict explore the relationship between recurring moods, subconscious habits and the choices people make.

Their seven lessons invite readers to examine what they want, recognize the attitudes they return to, and approach their ambitions more deliberately. This historical self-help book presents the authors’ ideas about subconscious power in a direct, conversational style, with questions addressed to the reader rather than a detached academic account.

Stories, comparisons and seven lessons

A walk down the wrong road becomes a lesson in direction. The subconscious becomes a garden whose seeds need attention. Throughout, the authors return to the difference between wishing for something and preparing to act.

The lessons explore:

• Predominant moods and the authors’ belief that habitual feelings influence action.
• Emotional habits and the possibility of responding differently.
• Competing desires and choosing what matters most.
• Putting a definite desire into words through a personal affirmation.
• Preparation, effort and readiness to act.
• Recognizing opportunities and possible ways forward.
• The effort and changes a person may undertake in pursuing a desire.

Read these as the authors’ historical teachings, not a guarantee that thoughts control circumstances or that an affirmation will produce a particular result.

A historical perspective on personal ambition

Readers interested in early twentieth-century self-improvement can explore the book’s arguments at their own pace, return to a question, or compare its assumptions with their own experience. Its emphasis on desire and preparation makes it an opportunity to consider how people have written about purposeful effort across generations.

Historical context: the book’s language, assumptions and claims reflect its era. It is not a presentation of current psychological evidence or medical or mental-health advice, and it does not promise health, wealth or guaranteed outcomes.
