Joseph Murphy

Joseph Murphy was an Irish-born New Thought minister and one of the most influential writers on the power of the subconscious mind. Raised in a devout Catholic family, he initially studied for the priesthood but eventually left Ireland in search of a broader understanding of spirituality and human potential.

After emigrating to the United States, Murphy worked as a pharmacist and later served in the US Army during the Second World War. His lifelong interest in religion led him to study psychology, philosophy, mysticism, and the teachings of the world’s major spiritual traditions.

Murphy was strongly influenced by Ernest Holmes and Emmet Fox. Holmes ordained him into Religious Science in 1946, and Murphy later became an ordained Divine Science minister. In 1949, he began leading the Los Angeles Divine Science Church, where he served as minister-director for approximately 28 years. His Sunday audiences reportedly grew to more than a thousand people, while his lectures and radio broadcasts carried his teachings to an even wider audience.

Murphy also earned a doctorate in psychology and wrote more than 30 books on prayer, healing, prosperity, belief, and the workings of the mind. His most famous work, The Power of Your Subconscious Mind, was published in 1963 and became an international bestseller.

Murphy taught that the subconscious accepts the ideas consistently impressed upon it and works to bring them into expression. Through prayer, visualization, affirmation, and emotional conviction, he believed we can replace limiting mental patterns and create greater health, happiness, prosperity, and peace.

By combining spiritual wisdom with practical explanations of the mind, Murphy made profound metaphysical principles accessible to everyday readers. His reassuring central message was that an extraordinary source of intelligence, guidance, and creative power already exists within each of us.
