Although similar in title, theme and structure to his book Creative Mind, this is a completely different book. Creative Mind has more of a focus on "Mental Healing." This book is principally about what is today called in New Age circles "Prosperity Consciousness". Holmes discusses how to focus one's thoughts to create monetary wealth, as well as increase one's personal charisma to garner circles of friends. This little classic of New Thought is very similar to its successor, Think and Grow Rich, optimistic, self-empowering, and confident in its outlook.
