This is definitely more of a general self help book than one telling you how to connect with spirit. The spirit-related stuff was mostly just about meditation. However, there was some fantastic life advice in this book - it does a great job at explaining positive thinking and knowing yourself. I particularly loved the advice to take note of how your emotions affect you physically because I think that's really important. If I wasn't currently so happy/in such a good place in my life/literally just learned all of these things last year it would have been really helpful.
But needless to say, I'm no closer to communicating with spirit than I was before I started reading it. Although I didn't actually do any of the specified meditation exercises, so there's that.
