本書の主張をひと言で要約するならば、「強く信じ思い続けたことは実現する」である。しかし、単に「信じろ」「強く思え」といった精神論にとどまるのではなく、カードの方法や鏡のテクニック、アファメーション、自己暗示など、誰もが使える具体的な方法論を提示している。 様々な分野で、成功者と呼ばれる人と交流する機会に恵まれた若きブリストル。そこで、彼は優れた信仰や成功事例に共通する1本の「黄金の糸」の存在に気が付いた――それこそが、決意することと信じることから生まれる「信念の力」であった。 その後、ブリストル自身も、大投資銀行の副頭取にまで上り詰めて巨額の財産を築いただけでなく、その投資銀行を破産の危機から救ったり、銀行を退いた後にはコンサルタントとして活躍するなど大きな成功を収め、自ら「信念の力」が存在することを実証している。 発表以来70年もの間、多くの人々に「信念の力」を喚起し、「信念の魔術」を起こしてきた本書を熟聴玩味のうえ、実践し活用いただきたい。
