Nothing wrong with the book, it's just not resonating with me at the moment and I want to read something that works for me better. Maybe I will return to it sometime in the future. It's made up of little stories and exercises. The formatting of the book is a bit weird.

Very interesting and thought provoking. Reads like a modern day grimoire at times.

Really hard to get through. Wanted to DNF, but didn’t.

The book provides stories exemplifying the Law of Attraction with exercises at the end of each chapter. The stories had similar themes which felt redundant to me.

i am a firm believer that a positive attitude and an open mind are critical to having a great and enjoyable life, and i was hoping that this book would give me some more ways to communicate to this attitude to friends and co-workers, but the focus was way to mystical and focused on material results. many of the "reader stories" dwelled on how quickly they got money after they started concentrating on their true desires. this seems far too much like the snake oil salesmen stuff of TV mega-church preachers for my comfort. not even worth the 99 cents the ebook cost me.

This was the perfect book for my introduction into The Law of Attraction. The stories are compelling and they give an in-depth look at how the law actually works.
I especially like the different exercises at the end of the chapters and the recommendations for other books to also read.

I would give this book a 3 1/2. Most of this book I really like a lot. The formatting was a bit confusing with how they labeled chapters and exercises. If you follow all the exercises, it was more labor intensive than I anticipated. But still, it was uplifting and helpful.

This book ties into The Secret. It takes the Laws of Attraction and breaks it down so it's really easy to understand, and it's very inspiring.
