I'm not religious but this seems like prayer, where you repeat with similar frequency some ideas. Unlike established religion, here you can pick the subject you want to transfer to your mind as new habits of thought. Nice! I will check this book.

Christian prayer is usually non-repetitive. However I know in other religions (Islam say) that prayer is more often strictly formalised. I guess if you used the Book of Common Prayer or something then it would work for Anglicans too. More like meditation, it made me think of Ps119:97+ or the last para of Phillipians; or indeed any of multiple places where the Bible reader is encouraged to meditate on scripture and hold it in their hearts (or indeed as the Jews act out "pin it to your forehead").

  There are a lot of good motivational/business advice passages in the Bible, I'd be interested to see if somebody's assembled all of those into a collection.

    A lot of them are already conveniently gathered in the book of Proverbs (see my comment above)

    This was done, by no less than Thomas Jefferson: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jefferson_Bible http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jefferson_Bible resulting in a 46 page bible.

Mormons also have their requirement to read Book of Mormon and pray daily. I'd caution to be really careful what information one chooses to reprogram their mind in that manner. You may end up believing or living by ideas that have no bearing on reality.
