If you know what you want, you can have it....

With this statement, the author known by the initials RHJ put a dramatic challenge to listeners in 1926. His claim was so sensational, so audacious, so begging of argument that one immediately wants to dismiss it. But for one thing: It works. RHJ's little pamphlet, It Works, has sold more than 1.5 million copies and won the dedication of generations of readers and listeners who have purchased it by the fistful to hand out to friends.

The author's three-step method is simplicity itself:

• Write down your desires on a list.
• Read it morning, noon, and night.
• Tell no one about it.

But don't be fooled: Tucked within the folds of this unthinkably simple plan are a set of psychological and metaphysical verities that produce extraordinary results. It Works distills centuries of spiritual striving into one tantalizingly concise program. The strange little book that has found its way into the hearts of readers and listeners across the world is now available in a special deluxe edition with a bonus chapter: "The 3-Step Miracle: The Story of It Works by Mitch Horowitz," which explores the identity of RHJ, the source of his program - and why it works.
