Joseph Murphy
Irish-born American minister and author of *The Power of Your Subconscious Mind* (1963) — one of the best-selling self-help books of the 20th century. Murphy's core claim: the subconscious responds to whatever you impress on it, so decide what you impress on it.

The goal is not to dump every video at once. Start with a small guided set, then move into the deeper library once you know which thread you want to follow.
A guided first pass
These first videos give the page a clear starting point without forcing readers through a long mobile scroll before the rest of the author profile appears.
Pause and orient: Start with the first few videos, then use the next set to decide whether this author deserves a deeper dive. The page should guide the reader, not bury them.
Dr. Joseph Murphy (1898–1981) was a New Thought minister, author, and radio host whose Power of Your Subconscious Mind has sold tens of millions of copies and never been out of print in 60+ years. He studied pharmacy, chemistry, and Indian philosophy, served as minister at the Church of Divine Science in Los Angeles, and hosted a weekly radio program with audiences in the hundreds of thousands.
Murphy’s teaching sits squarely in the New Thought tradition — the conscious mind directs, the subconscious mind executes, and belief is the switch. He’s often grouped with Napoleon Hill and Norman Vincent Peale. What separates Murphy is how practical he is: every chapter ends with specific techniques (affirmations at the edge of sleep, mental movies, the ‘sleeping prescription’). The videos below pair the full audiobook with chapter-by-chapter breakdowns and rare television interviews from the 1970s.
