The Power of Decision: A Step-by-Step Program to Overcome Indecision and Live Without Failure Forever (Tarcher Master Mind Editions) Paperback – January 6, 2011
Purchase options and add-ons
What mind can conceive, man can achieve.
Our decisions impact every area of our lives. Making better decisions means living a better life. But how can we develop the habit of making great decisions?
Every noteworthy achievement the world has ever seen was born with a single thought; and every great man who ever lived has been a man of decision. Raymond Charles Barker's The Power of Decision reveals this principle of success and illustrates the process of choice that all of us must take-and that all of us are capable, this very second, of taking-to change our lives and make our dreams come true.
Indecisive people are failure prone, and Dr. Barker examines this basic truth while exploring the decision-making process in the individual, and the role of the subconscious mind in either abetting or thwarting each of our conscious decisions. He provides specific steps to shift the balance of decision-making power in your favor, and he brings to light the constant, ever-present power of will to change a situation- and yourself-for the better.
Picking up The Power of Decision is the moment; and reading it is the decision that will change your life forever.

- Reviewed in the United States on December 1, 2023I love the straight Forwardness of this book. Good examples offered to clarify his points. A powerful book. I would love it if everyone read this book and used the principles.
- Reviewed in the United States on February 3, 2013Absolutely wonderful, a classic in its own right. As far as "new thought" or Science of the Mind books go, it's incredible - one of those books where you find a new insight in practically every paragraph. He is very straightforward, which is surprisingly empowering because his message - that your own choices define your life - not only gives you the responsibility for your current life, it gives you the tools for making each day going forward into the life you want. I'd consider this a must-read and a great companion book to anything by Ernest Holmes, Louise Hay, Esther and Jerry Hicks/Abraham, and the like.
- Reviewed in the United States on December 29, 2016This powerful book has been the catalyst my soul has been craving for a long time now. After reading the first three chapters of this book. My mind started to transform from lazy thinking to creative thinking, No more excuses why goals can not be accomplish. The subconscious mind is law and the conscious mind is the word of the universal. These powerful spiritual principles once applied with faith and conviction will transform the individual to their higher self. There is no tomorrow but today all possibilities live in the present moment. Buy this book today and transform your life forever
- Reviewed in the United States on March 23, 2018Worth reading, especially if you have read other New Thought authors, like Joseph Murphy. He starts off strong, with decisions, but meanders a little bit--some of the middle, I couldn't see how it tied to the theme of decisions, but eventually, near the end it comes back around. At the least, it's worth the opening. You will begin to notice how often you ask other people what you should do--then you actually begin to change it, and realize how long you've been wasting listening to other peoples' advice on your life... so read it.
- Reviewed in the United States on September 12, 2009I've just recently started the book; it's for a class I'm taking. So far, the I have enjoyed it and have gotten quite a bit of insight. Choosing to decide is very powerful. There's a reason books like this have so much staying power after all of these years.
The font is easy to read and the chapters are even broken down further into sub-chapters so you really get a clear understanding of what the author is saying. This is definitely the type of book you want to keep and refer back to it as many times as you want.
- Reviewed in the United States on March 5, 2022This book is extremely powerful for the spiritual or non-spiritual seeker. Everyone would ge a deal out of reading this book.
- Reviewed in the United States on October 24, 2013I rated this book a 5 because it will help anyone with clarity in their life. We make decisions everyday and we have to decide how we want our life to be designed. This book helps to see what is under the lack in our lives. It is easy to read and simple to apply to your life.
I am teaching a class with it and has changed all of the participants to more joy and harmony.
- Reviewed in the United States on September 15, 2014This is a classic. It has been around for 40 years. I have read it before, taken classes based on the book, and now am reading it again. It is a no-nonsense guide to taking responsibility for one's own life. If you are trying to decide whether you should get this book, you need this book. Expect to reach the end of the book with great tools to make decisions along with a feeling of empowerment.

2.0 out of 5 stars Charged more when the price printed in book is less.
I just received this book, cover is a bit different, I have paid for this book Rs.810/-, but the book i received is of Rs.699/-. It's not that I am complaining about the book, but it's about the price. Why it's charged more when it printed less on cover. Do you ve any thing to say. Or shall I return it.

5.0 out of 5 stars Really ... You thought it was Luck? Decide What You Want Now!!!
Simply put... Stop it and make a decision now. What are your waiting for.
Really enjoyed this book as saw so many reflections in my own life ... Made me smile to release that I wasn't alone in making the same mistakes as many others and excited that it is simple to change my ways.

5.0 out of 5 stars Decision making equals power!
Power of Decision is an intellectual guide applicable to all because we all have to make decisions in life. Choices are presented to each one of us and with choices comes choosing which path to take. In Power of Decision, the mystery and fear is dismantled so that all decisions are correct. I heard of this book from the spiritual community, Centers for Spiritual Living. It was a course they taught based on this book. It is book every one should have in their personal library for living the best life possible. A curriculum for healthy living, healthy decisions.
