When you understand, you will be able to replicate. Perhaps after studying this wonderful book and putting it into practice you will see your name in the Forbes list of richest people.

Is The Master Key System a difficult book to read?

In a way it is. It is a very deep book. It’s not a pop psychology fluff book. It will challenge you and make you think. More than that, there are weekly exercises in The Master Key System. Take the time to actually do them. You’ll be glad that you did.

How should I go about reading The Master Key System?

The Master Key System is divided into twenty-four “Weeks.” At the end of each Week, there is an exercise. The exercises are the “meat” of The Master Key System and you are encouraged to do them exactly as Haanel wrote. When you first get the book, though, it is recommended that you read it straight through, as if it were a novel. Then, return to the book and read it again, one Week at a time, paying attention to and actually doing the exercises.

Should you have difficulty with the exercises, please refer to

The Master Key Workbook,

Charles F. Haanel’s Complete Master Key Course,

Why was The Master Key System banned?

Two rumors have been circulated about The Master Key System being banned. The first was that it was banned by the Catholic Church sometime in the 1920s. The second was that it was suppressed in the 1910s by the business leaders of the day in order to hide its “secrets.” Regardless of how appealing these stories are, neither is true. The Master Key System was never banned by the Catholic Church nor was it suppressed by a cabal of industrialists trying to hide its secrets. For more information, please see the Official Charles F. Haanel web site.
