Joseph Murphy (20th May 1898-16th Dec 1981), the author, says that "Wealth is a state of consciousness. Everyone has a right to be rich. God wants you to be happy, prosperous, and successful." Dr. Murphy was a proponent of the New Thought movement. He had had a unique gift of expressing great truths in a lucid manner. The book highlights "Your right to be rich" and "The road to Riches". The author has marrated-'What people can achieve if they start using their imaginary and creative skills.' Lots of examples are included in the book. The book narrates, there is no virtue in poverty. It should be abolished from the earth. Everyone is here to grow, expand and unfold - spiritually, mentally and materially. Poverty is a disease like any other mental disease. You were born to succeed to win, to conquer all hurdles, and to have all your faculties fully developed. If there is financial lack in your life, do something about it. "Man does not live by bread alone." For this one has to set his heart on money and to give all his attention to amassing money, nothing else matters. You are living in a subjective and objective world. You must not neglect the spiritual food, such as peace of mind, love, beauty, harmony ,joy, and laughter.
Dr. Murphy wrote more than 30 books. His most famous work is "The Power of your Unconscious Mind."
