Awful. Spoiler alert: This book is not a parenting book, it is not a Christian book. It is a bunch of bad philosophy about how if you think about something hard enough you will get it. And bad science. He is a football player turned chiropractors, not sure how that qualifies him in anyway to write a book that he says is about parenting. (It isn’t)
He mentions God only one context of how God wants to make you rich (VERY anti-biblical idea)
It is NOT a parenting book. Rarely mentions children at all. Most of the book is talking about himself and his own ideas
Some specific observations
No. 1 he begins with the premise that this book is about learning how to CONTROL your child’s behavior. Not a great way to think about parenting
Number 2: as far as I can tell his credentials are he’s an athlete, he played football at a division one school, and he became an NFL football player. Then he became a chiropractor. I am unsure how this makes him a parenting expert other than he has two kids (whom I think are quite young)
Number three: he talks about a universal law of controlling your mind, and attracting positive things by thinking positive thoughts.This is a thinly veiled eastern philosophy which has been repackaged in “The Secret”, which was a popular book for awhile but I think most people who read it realize it is ridiculous
Number 4: the first solid citation he really gives for any of the things he is saying is about a dog trainer. And then he goes on to make the point that your goal as a parent is to be the “pack leader” By showing children who’s boss,similar to how the Dog Trainer trains dogs. parents really should not rear children using the same premises and techniques people use to train dogs. He does not go on to say how one would do this showing your kid who is boss.
Number five: he spends a lot of time talking about the goal of parenting is having successful children. He never really overly defined what he means by success, but the overwhelming number of examples that he gives are about money and riches, being a star athlete, being a rich and successful business person, or being the next President of the United States, and he names Donald Trump specifically. The main emphasis of all these “success stories“ is being rich
Number five: he asks —don’t you think God wants you to prosper in all areas of your life? Which is the one of the biggest lies the devil has ever created. Human happiness and prosperity is not the main point of what God does. Read your Bible. God never promised riches or happiness. He does say he gives peace, joy, fulfillment and eternal life. In fact, what he promises is hardship. God never promises prosperity or success
Number six. He is very confused about his scientific theory. (and he is supposed to be in the medical field) Saying that people emit wave lengths of energy, and this is the reason that certain organ transplants fail, or certain relationships fail, etc. Definitely not the reason at all… I would never everTrust this man in a scientific ability… And he calls himself a doctor (Of chiropractic care). He goes on to say researchers are discovering things about this energy which is blocked by nutrition etc.… I can’t even imagine where he is making this stuff up from. He doesn’t cite any legitimate scientific sources for this… Because there aren’t any.
Number seven: in chapter 2, he starts talking about beliefs , but then suddenly switches to talking about animals and plants and their innate, genetic characteristics as “beliefs” (referring to photosynthesis as a “belief” of a plant, for instance, and our hearts beating as a “belief”) not really the way to think about your body.
I could spend more time critiquing, but I won’t. Don’t waste your time.

Terrible book. The author is an ex-NFL football player who is now a Chiropracter. (so, no credentials at all to write a religious or parenting book) a friend recommended to read (this man started the anti-masking, anti-shut-down orders campaign on facebook in Michigan. He actually said that Juice would fight the coronovirus! google it! I am not making this up) He pontificates about his own ideas on how to be successful (meaning: rich), rarely mentions God at all except as a way of getting money. He rarely mentions children or parenting in the book. It seems that the main point of the book is pushing his philosophy of thinking about what you want until you get it. The main thing he seems to think people want is money. It is obvious that is what he wants--and he wants your money (selling merchandise is at the top of his website for his campaign to end quarantine in Michigan) DON’T BOTHER reading. badly written, no parenting advice and it is definitely anti-Biblical, not Christian. And very very poor science, things like transplants fail because they do not “resonate” with the recipient. It is kind of unbelievable he is supposed to be a “medical” person.
