Product Description

When The Master Key System was first released circa 1916, it created quite a stir. It was supposedly banned by some groups and rumours abounded about it influencing some of the most wealthy and powerful people in the world.

Master Key Arcana contains a wealth of new writings by Charles F. Haanel and others, some of which were "lost" as time passed. It is the perfect companion for those who have read The Master Key System. It is also a wonderful introduction to what many consider to be the best book ever written on the powers of the mind and how to attain your goals, dreams, and desires.

Included in this handy and illuminating tome are:
* a unique psychological chart to help assess where you stand and how you can improve.
* writings about The Master Key System to help you better understand Haanel and his ideas.
* writings that influenced Mr. Haanel, such as Judge Thomas Troward and Henry Drummond.
* images of Haanel's original and now rare correspondence courses. and
* the "lost" parts of The Master Key System, published for the first time in over sixty years!

Master Key Arcana is a wonderful look at the influences of The Master Key System, how it influenced others, and how to best utilize it to attain your full potential. The "lost" parts are worth the price of admission alone. The results of reading this book, though, are priceless.

About the Author
Charles F. Haanel was born on May 22, 1866 in Ann Arbor, Michigan to Hugo and Emeline Haanel. He started his business career as an office boy for a company in St. Louis at which he stayed for fifteen years. Yearning for a better life, he resigned his position in order to start his own company. In 1898, Mr. Haanel convinced investors that Tehuantepee, New Mexico would be a prime place to initiate the growth of sugar and coffee. He was made president of this venture. From the start it was successful. It grew in value greatly and made all of the investors and Haanel wealthy. Mr. Haanel formed the Continental Commercial Company in 1905, which included the sugar and coffee plantation as well as six additional companies that were absorbed into the whole. At the time, it was one of the largest conglomerates in the world with a value of $2.5 million. Building upon those successes, Mr. Haanel formed many other companies that added to his wealth: The Sacramento Valley Improvement Company, vineyards, and a mining company. He was president of all the ventures and was responsible for their success and growth. Mr. Haanel married Miss Esther M. Smith in 1885 and had one son and two daughters. His wife died in 1901 and in 1908 he remarried to Miss Margaret Nicholson. According to sources, his daughters are still living. Beside his business interests, Mr. Haanel was a member of the Keystone lodge, the Authors’ League of America, the American Society of Psychical Research, the St. Louis Humane Society, the St. Louis Chamber of Commerce, and the Science League of America. He was a thirty-second degree Mason, a Shriner, and a member of the Missouri Athletic Club, as well. According to a short biography of him (from which much of this article derived its facts) in St. Louis—History of the Fourth City by Walter B. Stevens, "He is a man of mature judgement, capable of taking a calm survey of life and correctly valuing its opportunities, its possibilities, its demands and obligations." Mr. Haanel died on November 27, 1949 at the age of 83. He was buried in Bellefontaine Cemetery, St. Louis. By taking an overview of Mr. Haanel’s life, it becomes clear how the tenets written in The Master Key System guided Mr. Haanel. He not only wrote what he thought—Mr. Haanel wrote what he lived.

Customer Reviews

A great addition to the Master Key System
The original Master Key System is revolutionizing my life, so I jumped at the chance to read this new book. It contains the lost part of the MKS as well as additional material that expands and enhances the ideas presented in the original. The lost material is amazing! It really completes the MKS and adds so much. I completely recommend the Master Key Arcana to anyone who wants to improve their life.

A must-have companion to the brilliant Master Key System book
The Master Key System is definitely among my top ten books describing the ways to truly take charge of my own power to create.

So it was a done deal when I found out about this addition - Arcana.

There's a lot of value in this relatively slim book: Not only the missing parts to the Master Key, but also excerpts of related writings by Thomas Troward ( parts of the outstanding Dore Lectures on Mental Science ), Henry Drummond, James Allen.

My favorite of course, though, is what Haanel himself had to add. He seemed so ahead of his time.

It includes something called the "Psychological Chart" from Haanel.

The photocopies of the original advertisement for the Master Key System are a nice addition, as well. The original early 1900 images include instruction sheets, and letters describing the benefits.

The Other Boot Has Finally Dropped!
With Tony Michalski's publication of Master Key Arcana, there is closure to the earlier "The Master Key", by Charles F. Haanel, with an incentive for further exploration. Readers who profit from, and are inspired by Haanel's works may also enjoy and profit from the workshops, seminars, books, cd's, etc. of Dr.Wayne Dyer. Dr. Dyer is not alone. He seems to be signaling a renaissance in our time similar to the one that burgeoned forth in Haanel's era. Authors like James Allen, William Walker Atkinson, Marsden, Troward, Drummond and other prolific authors, too numerous the cite were calling their readers attention to the primacy of the spirit in things material.

In this new volume a deeper understanding of Haanel's ideas is rounded out with the final Parts 25 to 28. Readers of The Master Key who may have sensed a certain "unfinished" quality are now finally satisfied. Also included in this volume is an excellent 3-part summary of The Master Key in Haanel's own words. The Master Key Psychological Chart is (with a few adjustments) still useful. The history buff and antiquarian will enjoy the Images of Original Material complete with pictures which concludes this eminently practical and inspiring sequel to Charles Haanel's The Master Key.

This is yet another stimulating and thought-provoking publication from Kallisti Publishing. It's a good read, too; and a book well worthy to merit many dog-eared pages.
