Ten Basic Rules for Better Living (1953) by Manly P. Hall
Summary: A concise guide for spiritual living in the modern world, this book of practical philosophy was written in an accessible and direct style for clear application to daily life. This book will guide you through most of life’s quandaries by drawing upon ancient wisdom and applying it to the unique challenges of contemporary life.
"Since our civilization has moved on to an intensive industrial level, our psychology of living has been subjected to a variety of pressures unknown to our ancestors. As a result, we need a basic statement of principles suitable to present-day conditions." - Manly P. Hall
"There is a popular belief that the older we get, the wiser we are. This is not always true, however; for no matter how long we live, experience means little unless we honestly search for the causes of our troubles." - Manly P. Hall

Its quiet interesting how we reject the reality of our situation and expect to be able to observe it, control it and even change it. I used to be financially depressed until I read a book that made me realized that the secret to making a million is making better investments.
Credits to *ROCHELLE DUNGCA-SCHREIBER,* she saw me through the process. You can glance her name up on the internet and verify her yourself. she has years of financial market experience!!!
Indeed, The quickest way to make your first millions is to invest directly with an expert that is trustworthy and has made a name and individual billionaires.. I'm surprised you know her too
I have found all of these rules in my seeking of living a good, peaceful and productive life in the absence of immediate examples… but to find them all distilled with such precision and clarity is an enormous gift. And timely. The sudden death of my life and business partner on the eve of our marriage two years ago has been a brutal reckoning and last week I succumbed to despair over the terrible decisions I’ve made… I am teetering on the edge of destroying my life and dreams by regrets. This dissemination of all I know to be true and right has saved me from making more bad decisions. Thank you.
I love when he opens the bookcase 😭❤️
I know, me too, i love it.

Me too,And i want to have all those books
This channel, ‘Library of Alexandria’, ‘Manly Hall Society’, and ‘Rudolph Steiner Press Audio’ are fantastic channels
Yes, I just wish the reader-aloud of R Steiner would learn the craft before , and practise and make marks where and how to stress and pronounce. With Aspergers , sleeplessness etc, I can't concentrate but get too disturbed and destructed by poor reading. Especially difficult with the loong sentences and deep, demanding spiritual language. I love Flensburger hefte and wish Steiner had written the same things in normnal spiritual language, a bit esier accessible. You are strong and healthy to follow get it. I hope to be.
Thank you for these 👍🏻👍🏻

You are incapable of blessing anyone. Do not put your trust in yourself, or become proud. God holds the key to every blessing. Repent and trust Christ, or you will face damnation after death.
@@BenVanCampHmmm Christ is within each and everyone of us, if you open your heart to jesus then you CAN trust yourself...jesus did not want to be worshipped...he simply wanted all of us too know we can do it too..do not praise the man...praise the message of god...we are all sons of god as jesus said...if i give a homeless man food and teach him about christ then i have blessed him and thats the 2nd coming of Christ!!! its all within you
You are a star
"Stop Trying to Dominate and Posses your Friends and Relatives", this relates with the modern society. Nice Read.
This channel changed my life. Thank you for showing me the tools so I could disband my victims mentality.
Which reading affected your change the most?
About to let it change mine
@@gamesdean3842 As man thinketh and it works. Also the strangest secret is amazing as well. It's easy to forget and fall back into old ways so I listen all the time

“The wisdom of 50 centuries is available to us” How do we contemplate such a beautiful statement like this.
Daily Affirmation "I can succeed all that is possible with anyone is possible to me. I am successful, I do succeed for I am full of the power of success". Repeat this everyday for at least two time a day and see the power of oneself self.
Wonderful affirmation.
*Impressive video 🙌 To be rich and financial successful never chase comfort at the age of labor so you don’t labor at the age of comfort*
“The greater the passive income you can build, the FREER you will become.”
Always put your finances in good care to ensure that your income rises. Wealthy people achieve there financial goals and acquire riches by seeking help from finance pro(s) but many claim to have achieved success themselves.
That’s a just approach. I’m 40 but my financial life is a mess. Any ideas will go a long way in shaping my life and finances.
I operate a wide range of investments and have achieved massive growth in my finances with the help of my financial professional, making my financial goal a reality.

This channel is one of the top channels that got me through a very dark chapter in my life and helped transcend me to the higher level of consciousness I'm now enjoying. Thank you! Excited for this.
Manly p hall said all freemasons worship Lucifer. And was a 33rd degree mason. Still think he is worth listening to?
@@daltondamm9551 Haha yup, one of my favs
I have a hard time getting better listening to self help even though I keep doing it when depressed. When I'm feeling well, they help me to get better. When I'm depressed, it makes me feel even worse about myself that I can't keep positive.
@@taghazoutmoon5031 I've been depressed most my life, I feel you mate. Be proud of yourself for listening to self help books even though you feel worse for not being able to maintain positivity, that's already above and beyond most people who simply capitulate to their depression and play the victim game without attempting anything to improve themselves. Perseverance is one of the keys that will eventually enable you to stay positive most of the time, it's definitely not easy at first but if you keep at it, you will improve. Have compassion and be kind to yourself, we're living in immensely challenging times so it's understandable to have difficulty staying positive. Self help books are important, but it's also imperative to have the fundamentals of a healthy diet as you are what you eat, not just food and liquids but also what you put in your mind and your thoughts. As Ralph Waldo Emerson said, "Man is what he thinks about all day long." Also exercise and meditation, nothing super elaborate to start, just 10 min of exercise that gets your heart rate up and 10 min of meditation with the practice of letting thoughts come and go through the front and back door of your mind without serving them tea (not dwelling on them or judging them, just letting them come and go). I also recommend journaling. These all profoundly helped me and were my main starting points. Feel free to respond and I'll be happy to help, I'm here for ya. You got this!
@@projectterranova Thanks Nova. What you have written is really soothing. I feel u. I feel better to know that i am not alone. Others too feel the unfairness of this world we are living in. However, what brings depression to many of us is to expect life to be different from what it is. But then, what is is not enough for me. I need a better car, house, more 💰, & therein lies my frustration.
I love every book the master key society put out i feel like im in a special club . Growing as a man i feel this has helped in such a positive way. Love ya all wish ya the best

"It is better to be strict with ourselves where principles are involved" deep and serious 💯
Agreed.
@@repentandbelieveinJesusChrist2 ppl are putting real and serious quotes up here. Keep the noise down in your room. Jesus and Muhammad is mostly in prison before parole comes around.
🥶
It’s funny because god saw where that I was going back to my addiction and drop this in my lap I AM BLESSED.
I've been living my life all wrong. The suffering I've endured all these years are mostly my own doing. Don't know if I can turn it around. I hope younger generations will understand and follow the advice given here. Wished I'd learned this earlier because it will save them unnecessary anxiety and depression.
((((((((Angela)))))))) = Hugs
you can turn it around, cuz you understand that the power lays in your hands. You are in control
It’s never too late, you got it when it was time for you. Don’t look at the past, all we have is Now. You’ve got this Now! Abundant Blessings to you❤
Hey Angela, remember that both the sun and the moon shine at different times ❤
Repent & trust Christ, who holds all power in heaven and in earth. He is your maker, and the judge of your soul. Do not fall for these vain philosophies. Manly P. Hall did not give his life as a ransom for your soul, Jesus Christ did.
1. have faith - be courageous 2. have humility - be humble 3. have moderation - be modest 4. have enough - be generous 5. have relaxation - be luscious 6. have fun - be humorous 7. have purpose - be conscious 8. have medication - be healthy 9. have composure - be cool 10. have responsibility - be responsible

Thanks for reading, my 11yo son goes to bed every night listening to one of this books. I noticed some behavioural improvements.
Man.. all I can say is I resonate with 90% of every word spoken on the books I’ve listened to from the master key society.
👍👍👍
curious whats the 10% you dont res with?
Hi V Z, I don’t res with all of Goddard’s books, I believe master key only put three of them up here, but have used almost every single other book master key has put out in a practical and sometimes spiritual manner! They have truly changed my life
@@brokenalgorithm The same goes for everyone, since they don't actually not contradict each other and within themselves.
@@UsaJayP gotcha makes sense, that's pretty impressive you listened to all these, im getting there ...keep expanding
Complete GRATITUDE .... 🙏🏽
I had the opportunity to be part of the speeches given by Manly P. Hall. The memories I have from the lectures provided me with the open minded curious thinking I still have today. I have many of his recording and books. He was amazing and inspirational. His knowledge and wisdom is still a secret to the world.
Very lucky, you are.

Timely, simple, amazing and life changing - thank you so much Master Key Society! Your depth of esoteric simplistic wisdom in these authors is so humbly but grateful appreciated!
1950s america was a heavenly dream. hope someday america can be like that again. the world too
Heaven is within u, us. What one sees without is a reflection of within. Let's be careful.
Dream on.
When I saw Manly P Hall I immediately clicked liked. You always got great taste in books!

To have just an ounce of his knowledge would be amazing.
I'm grateful to have stumbled upon this amazing channel. Thumbs Up
"It's better that our mistakes will be errors of judgement rather than crimes of the heart" Mindblowing!
This book is the cure to neurosis. It is helping me change my perspective so much, i am just a worrier, and i need to change. My extereme anxiety is a result of myself and i need to adjust
Thanks for sharing invaluable knowledge!
Thank you for providing peace today in these hard times. This gives me faith in myself, that I can transform my life and overgrow the problems I face and accept the mistakes I made, instead of living in the past, work on myself in the present moment. Thank you!
All the lessons your parents should have taught you and everything you should teach your own children. It's a sad world when some need to reach for a book for such humane knowledge.
Fantastic short listening. Many many thanks.... definetly bring a change
This is the books we should be reading in school if i had this information when i was a kid i might not have had to break my hand twice to learn anger has no place in my world even towards ones self.

Remember that the context of the writings are a direct reflection of what society was like when the book was written. The concepts are timeless, but people can for certain spend way more than a million dollars in this day and age.
LOVE. THIS.

I “ stumbled “ across this channel..and consider with this first book reading, very valuable to my life. Thank you🌿🌷🌿
Great information, very appreciated here !
Well done, reading the words of an extraordinary amount of knowledge, experience, and wisdom of the great Manly P Hall. Your excellent reading will help people understand truth; it is so simple. Thank you.
Love this Audio book! Thank you for sharing.
Manly P Hall is so vilified these days, Yet he wrote such wonderful work here! Just because somebody writes about evil does not make him such.
People today are not wise, they don’t understand their religion correctly. “For a tree to reach heaven it’s roots must stretch to hell.” A person must go through their darkness and understand the evil they are capable of, only then can they ascend to the transcendental spiritual heights
The energy and spirit felt within each one of these reads is embodied in my music. I thank you all of you behind the scenes for opening the channels of connecting to the greater self. The knowledge and wisdom experienced on this channel is phenomenal. Keep up the great work! Happy thanksgiving. I simply give you my gratitude. ❤

Immensely grateful for this timeless wisdom from Manly P Hall. Simple rules that are so powerful for living in this world, not merely existing. Thanks for sharing this amazing book with great voice narration.
Fat deal
Manly P Hall was a true Saint and sage of the world. His teachings, understanding of the truth, and dedication to the great work from a young age till his last day is nothing short of miraculous and mysterious. RIP.
Even his death was suspicious 🤨
Wasnt he a luciferian?

He was 33rd mason or more. Very evil.

This is a really balanced perspective on Life and therefore an extremely valuable piece of literature ❤️ Manly P. Hall was severely underrated and largely unknown by the mainstream populace due to the esoteric nature of this knowledge. Thanks to the internet, his knowledge is now starting to go mainstream and that is only a Good thing!
I needed to hear every second of this. I give thanks for this on Thanksgiving!
Thank you for sharing these unique books!
Thanks so much 🤗🙏🏽🇩🇴!!!!
Wow fantastic book. I wish he also wrote a book on HOW to stop worrying, etc.
Only you decide whether to worry or not. Self-accountability is the way forward
Thank you for such amazing reading.

I have to find a way to download this and repeat it daily... it’s a life guide..
Thank you for sharing .❣️
It took me a dozen times over course of year and finally I quit smoking cigarettes. I suspect changing bad character habits will take much much longer. Everyday I try to practice mental, physical and spiritual balance. I fail everyday. I verbally snapped at my wife yesterday over nothing. But I keep trying daily to be a better husband, brother, son, employee and man. I truly believe if you do not face your demons early, you will be all alone on a long dark road with no turns.
Thank you so much for sharing
This is beautiful
I would suggest trying to alter your diet to be as optimal for your health as possible via experimentation, MPH would also observe and state the observations that modern (hu)man eats foods (mentally as well as physically) which lack nutrition for their purposes, borderline poisoning themselves, often times this is also due to socio-cultural conditioning over time, in my own experience high fat and high meat diets are ideal, at least for my own purposes of contemplation and mental, physical and spiritual exercise. Do not put yourself down too much, you've achieved something you did not think you would in a shorter time than you assumed to be true, thus you are stronger and smarter and more courageous than you think yourself to be, and can always surmount the problems you have conceived (to be problems) within yourself, show appreciation for the support and patience your supporters, such as your wife, have shown by standing by you, explain as clearly as possible your state of mind, perceived weaknesses and currently desired ambitions in your own personality, be it not 'snapping' or anything else. Most importantly, keep your head up, you're fine, right?
Jus read it love it ❤
❤ Thank you for sharing the book and reading it out. I thoroughly enjoyed. God bless your service.
