Intention and feeling can be healing

I enjoyed this book. Many of these Law of Attraction books are reminiscent of spiritual practices as old as time. I thought some of her points were redundantly stated. The book could have ended in half the pages. But I appreciate any effort that teaches people to dream, embrace intention, and learn to practice positivity and connectedness in everything. It is a lesson I plan to embrace.

The reason this book is better than the Law of Attraction, which focuses on manifestation in a really unscientific way, is that this book in particular doesn't say that it's going to be completely effortless. It focuses on putting in a good mindset, positive self-talk, positive thinking, those are the beautiful things about it that are really useful and valuable. Because by otherwise saying, like, don't work for it, don't try, just let things happen, everything will just happen, it's a really lazy approach which doesn't work. This one deprioritizes it a little bit and really just focuses on establishing a positive mindset, which is a positively powerful tool, because by putting yourself in a positive mindset you put yourself in positive situations, and the more often you're in positive situations, the more open you are to opportunities. It is the idea that you get what you put out there, which has some tie-ins to quantum sciences as well, which I'm pretty tired right now, so I'm not going to get into that. Needless to say, the two do interlock.

Interesting book on the "Law of Attraction". I really enjoyed the author sharing her personal experiences as she studied and applied this in her life. I love the fact she was not a multimillionaire and speaks to the everyday person through her experiences. The key point explained in this book that our emotions/feelings are key to attracting what we want. Tony Robbins would call it achieving that 'peak state'.

The book is very practical, does go on a bit, and could have been 150 pages instead of 250, however a book I still recommend.

White Privilege Ahead!

I only read 25 pages and I was so disgusted I had to stop reading. The fact that she seemed to suggestion there is no such thing as systemic oppression and the oppressed age just “thinking too poor” and there is no “victim” screamed “WHITE PRIVILEGE!!!” So loud I had to put this book down. Her take on toxic positivity was so narcissistic that I prefer building the life I want to live on the corner of logic and reason.

Too many rules

A friend recommended this book. It didn’t speak to me. She talked about the Law of Attraction and manifesting, but there were rules attached to them. It would have been better if she had written, “Instead of saying this…….. say this…..” instead she would say “Don’t say ‘I want to lose 20 pounds’” and then would say what to say but not anything connected to weight loss. Why, yes, I would like to weigh 20 pounds less than I currently do.

I find myself coming to this book to finish it properly each time. At this point it ought to be added into the first aid box for my mental health.
However like every book on positivity I feel like they overlook their privileges provided by their society, and forget the nuances around life and living. I give it a 3.8 stars. There’s definitely good advice in it. Take what you can and leave what you cannot.

I really hated this author's writing style and her desire to blame people for "attracting" illness, cancer, and rape with their thoughts. Kudos to her for dragging it out to book length, I guess. I can't think of a single person I would recommend this to.

Law attraction explained by Lynn Grabhorn

Law attraction explained by Lynn Grabhorn does the world of favour and puts it into simple terms. Enjoy the ride.

Also check her other book "God what is happening to us" A shocker!!!

Este livro é excelente. É um guia prático para controlar e gerir energia. Desde escolher os nossos pensamentos a gerir emoções, tanto pode ser lido individualmente como em grupo.

Live this reference.

[Sue · Rating 4 out of 5]

As other reviews have stated the author was repetitive. However, I found this to be beneficial. If the concept was not understood from one phrase it could be understood when described in a different way. I did enjoy the sense of humor from the author. I found it easy to remember the points when the author later referenced them in the book. I found some concepts contradictory. For example, it was stated positive thoughts are more powerful than negative ones but then the author stated many times the manifestations would materialize if thoughts were kept off the negative and what the person did not want. I did find this book explained how to practice the law of attraction better than the book The Secret. Both explained the concept of Law of Attraction but I felt Excuse Me, Your Life is Waiting did a much better job going about how to apply the Law of Attraction with tips and exercises.
