Some of this is just Snake Oil.
Our country has become very materialist, but even so, it is still a country where the rich get richer and the poor poorer. Why? Because the poor don’t know how to tune in with the Universe; therefore, it is their fault that they are poor. Actually, the rich just know how to suck the poor dry; either way, it is the poor person’s fault.
These books have been around for a while. In 1937, Think and Grow Rich was popular. I checked it out the library when I was a kid, and in later life I found it and bought it. Not that I will read it again, but when I find a book that I read as a child, I usually buy it. It is still in print and selling copies. It lists people who used its methods and grew rich. Of course, those who used its methods got rich by taking from the poor. Equality will never bring wealth. Give your employees a decent wage, and you may not make it, but at least you will not be ripping off people.
Then there was the book, The Law of Attraction. You had to give your money away for it to multiply. It had other methods as well, but giving your money away was the best way. I know because I read the book, and I used to go to the Science of Mind Church that promotes It. They actually sold books like this in their church book store.
We have other prosperity churches now where the ministers are rich from donations that they use to build these mega-churches. Some of their members prosper enough to make other members believe and give. Other members just think it is their problem, and this could create low self-esteem. As for me, I would rather these churches were turned into homeless shelters. Then Marilyn and the others can go to them and preach their prosperity message for free. See how long that lasts or even works. At least you can then say that these property people were doing Christ's work of selling everything and giving to the poor.
Speaking of which, the Jehovah’s Witnesses had another twist on it. Most of the members never had great jobs, but after Armageddon they were going to be able to live in those rich homes whose owners had been killed by Jehovah. In their own way, they were also materialistic.
Then you have SGI Buddhism, a sect that chants for a new job, a home, etc. If you don’t get these things, then you are not chanting correctly. I was never sure how you chanted correctly, because all you had to do was think of what you wanted and then chant, Nam Myoho Renge Kyo, over and over and over again. Actually that is cheaper than buying a book like this and taking lessons, unless you donated ten percent of your money to them. Maybe it will work for you. When I was in that sect, it was noted by the head honcho that those in other countries chanted for peace, not for material wealth. Still, their countries had no peace. Just like many Christians here who pray for peace, peace that never comes, but at least they are praying for something that is good for others; they are not selfish.
I learned that there were limits on everything: affirmations, psychic readings, being in a guru/disciple relationship, and even making money without being greedy.
This book is based on writing down affirmations. Now I know that affirmations can work for some things, like helping a person get out a depressive state, giving them more confidence to maybe look for a job, but they will not bring money to you out of the blue. What affirmations do is work on your subconscious mind to change how you feel about yourself. You are not getting in touch with the Universe or God as the author of this book says, but she is right in saying that you get in touch with your subconscious mind. They work like hypnosis, which I had learned and used to practice many years ago. Get into any kind of altered state and use these affirmations to change your thoughts, and they work. Write them down or say them silently like a mantra all day, and they will work—for some things. Writing down affirmations or saying them out loud will still work on your subconscious mind. But one method is no more powerful than the other as this author claims.
Swami Yogananda, a guru from India came to America in 1920 and used affirmations. He claimed that he had spiritualized his, so that they would work. You can buy his book online or at the Self Realization Fellowship book store, if you believe that they need to be spiritualized. I knew when I read his book on affirmations that you didn’t have to use his. I had used my own back in the 80s; I just made them up. They worked for changing how I felt about myself; they got rid of my reactive depression that I had been in for years, but they can't cure all types of depression. Even psychiatrist Dr. David Burns knew about this kind of positive thinking years ago and wrote a book called, Feeling Good: The New Mood Therapy.
But Yogananda taught one other thing that this book teaches, and that is to never think negative thoughts. This has worked for ages with some gurus who tell you to only have positive thoughts, because then you cannot have negative thoughts about the guru, and you can’t voice them to others in your group. And as the author of tis book says, If we talk poorly about others, it will affect us negatively. Ah, control freaks, who would like to control our minds, making us think that we are the ones controlling our thoughts. Sooner or later, you cannot protect yourself from those who think negatively about you. Disgruntled disciples will always begin to talk about the things that they have seen and heard. If an author proves to be a fake, students will talk. And when they talk they are threatened with lawsuits. People and organizations have to always protect their wealth. That is when the belief that you should not speak negatively goes out the window and into the courts. There is an article on this on the internet titled: Empty Prosperity Promises: Are Lawsuits an Option? By Brian Karjala
You have to ask yourself why did these prosperity churches come into existence. Maybe it is because people can’t make a decent living because they can’t make a decent wage to even get by on, and so they go out and buy books like this and take lessons that then say that the other books on this subject don’t work because they didn’t teach it correctly. At least that is what one reviewer who takes her classes claims she says. Of course, you need to have some money in order to buy these books in the first place. If you don’t you are out of luck, and it is still your fault.
What we need instead is for people to vote in order to put people in office that will lift them out of their poverty, but of course that will never happen, because most people only care about making themselves rich, not lifting others out of poverty.
We really needed Bernie Sanders; instead people voted for a president who promised them jobs. No one listened when he said that wages were too high, and he wanted to lower them. Because he was rich, he was going to make others rich. No one thought to realize how he became rich, just as they don’t think about how these ministers or business people get rich.
Note on Testimonial reviews of this book:
"Testimonials are easy to generate and have been produced for all sorts of claims. However, testimonials should never be confused with scientific evidence — or portrayed in a way suggesting they are equivalent. Testimonials may provide ideas that warrant further investigation, but that’s it." ``Jamie Hale, M.S.

Marilyn Jenett has written the ""Law Of Attraction" or "Manifestation" bible!!!!!!!! You can read all of the other ones you want to. But are they going to be dead honest with you on why you may not be doing it right? Are they going to tell you what you need to do BEFORE you even start to picture away your dream home or stack of cash? How about why it is a great idea to keep your manifestation workings to yourself? Ms. Jeanette tells you the answers to all of this and so much more that I just cannot get into describing myself.
Just know this: she's been working with people for a long time (corporations crave her talks). She surely knows exactly what she is talking about. I have followed her advice, and it is already working for me. Whereas, I have been trying the "Law of Attraction" for many many years and got practically nowhere before. I love this this book. It is the only one you will ever need.
Thank you to Ms. Jenett and Goodreads First-Reads for allowing me to win a free copy of this book to read and give my honest review.

Over a decade ago, Marilyn helped me to get through the scariest financial situation of my life. She is so incredibly generous with her time and her knowledge so I was thrilled she finally put her course into a format that can have a wider reach. She peppers the book with her personal experiences and a logical framework so it's accessible to people who aren't interested in the more "woo" side of a lot of prosperity work. The book is in easy to digest chapters that can be referred back to quickly as you implement her suggestions.
It's worth getting the book just for the prosperity meditation at the end, which is still the best one I've ever read.

I did Marilyn Jennett's “Feel Free to Prosper” programme a few years ago. The programme aims to help you receive unexpected income within two weeks and, certainly in my experience, it worked.

Great book that teaches you to train your subconscious mind to accept that the Universe/God etc is the source for all of your desires. Get rid of the negative core beliefs that were instilled in you as a child or by others. Open your mindand allow prosperity to come to you because you deserve it. We all deserve it.

Over the years I read a ton of books about money, prosperity, the law of attraction and abundance. So I was no newbie in any of these topics when I read Feel Free to Prosper.
And still.....most of the material felt fresh and new. Marilyn Jennet's approach and energy helped me 'get' things on a deeper level. Her book inspired me, brought me new insights, and was a joy to read.
If you want to know more about prosperity and money, and how to manifest more of it, I highly recommend this book. It doesn't just show you how to manifest prosperity, it helps you see how manifesting works in general.
It's a wonderful and uplifting book!

Wow! I wish I had this book 8 years ago! I would have had a different business and life! I learned all my lessons in business the hard way.... tsk tsk. I have no regrets but if I had this book all those years ago... life would probably be different today.
Its an amazing book... filled with the true prosperity lessons that I had learned over years of courses, mentors and books I've found and discovered in other places and spaces.... but with this book, you get it all in one place. Fantastic!
I read the authors entrepreneurship tales as well in her Ryze network portrayal and its fantastic! Highly recommend

I’ve been listening to snippets of this book for a couple months now through Audible and even though I was taking it in “small bites”, I never failed to get something out of it that I could work with in my life. This is a book with good solid mindset information.
June 13, 2019
A lot of great foundations but felt like it just left you stumped at the end. I really didn't feel connected or like I knew what to do with all the info she gave, I was expecting too much I guess?
September 15, 2021
Awesome book! I am so grateful to Marilyn for writing this book.

Read through to the end! I explain my rating of just 2 stars... don't solely judge based on my rating.
I was torn between 2 stars or 3 stars. I decided on 2 stars mainly due to the first part of the book -- Jenett shares her teachings and personal experiences. I absolutely agree with everything she discusses; I just didn't care for the tone... how she talks about her accomplishments... how she did this or did that. It may connect with many readers, but not this one here. A bit too overzealous for my taste. HOWEVER.. and this is a BIG HOWEVER--- The first two lessons and the prosperity mediation from her "Feel Free to Prosper" program at the end of the book can be summed up into one word = AMAZING! I am not kidding when I say that I instantly began seeing results within the first day!! So, due to the first part of the book not leaving a memorable impression on me.. I feel like in the end the book was "okay". If you have one takeaway from my review.... this book IS a good tool to help you achieve prosperity! It is absolutely worth your time reading.

I've listened to this book a few times through on audio and I really enjoyed it.
I like that Marilyn maps out some of the trip-ups around just saying positive affirmations to yourself. If your subconscious doesn't believe it, it's not going to work.
She provides some tips to start to shift your inner beliefs around money and even provides a couple tangible exercises to work on.
Have I manifested millions of dollars? No. But I can say that I've felt a great shift in my old fears around money, and that in and of itself is pretty miraculous and a massive relief. Even the simple change from my old phrase "I can't afford that." to simply "I don't want to pay that much." is monumental.
Overall, I really appreciate that Marilyn reminds us continuously where our real source is - and it's not our job, our savings account, our relatives, the good will of others, etc. It's much, much bigger than that. This is a spiritual approach to abundance - and abundance is far more than just money.
If you like this book, you'll probably enjoy Tosha Silver's "It's Not Your Money", as well. Another very spiritual approach to abundance.
