First of all, I generally hate non-fiction. I just don't enjoy it. And in this case, I was reading the book for the sake of my husband and not really out of any of my own personal interest.
So I will likely never give a non-fiction book five stars. Four is the best you'll ever get out of me.
But I found this book well-written and well argued, and a good combination of factual based science and narrative with the author's case studies of actual clients. It might be the ONLY self-help book I've ever finished and that's due more to HOW things are being said rather than WHAT.
I know some people felt like it was a never ending infomercial. I completely disagree with that. It does feel like it at times except he NEVER TRIES TO SELL YOU ANYTHING. The book links you to the website: www.thelovecodenow.com which has multiple free tools (videos, audio mediations, quizzes).
Other people found it repetitive. On that I can't disagree but this is the number one reason I hate all non-fiction. I honestly think what they are trying to teach could be done in one or two concise chapters and the rest is fluff. But I do think that the repetition really helped the lessons sink in.
So here's the gist of what I got from this book:
The author's first premise is that all self help books, programs, etc are based on a flawed system - Identify what you want, make a plan to get what you want, put your plan into action. And that this system is flawed because 1) Your conscious and unconscious mind may not be in agreement about what you want and 2) Achieving it relies mainly on willpower which is proven to be unsuccessful.
So on this basic premise I feel like I can agree with the author. Any self help book or program I've ever tried or read about certainly follows this system. I know that (personally) my unconscious mind has been sabotaging my success for years (out of fear) and I also know from experience that willpower is not "all that it takes".
Secondly, the entire focus of The Love Code is on living by the code. That is, to do ALL THINGS from a place of love (and truth) in the present moment. That right there is a good guide to life. It's what most religions teach. Be in the moment. Too much focus on the future causes fear and anxiety, too much focus on the past causes sadness, guilt, etc. And do things from a place of love. How is that possibly a bad idea?
Another one of his premises is that love is the opposite of fear. I like that idea. And I agree with him that fear can lead to anger, sadness, guilt, shame, or other "negative" emotions. And that all of these lead to stress - which is the root cause of nearly all our problems (emotional, spiritual and physical).
This is another reason other plans lead to a failure cycle. When willpower isn't enough (which apparently it is not 97% of the time) and we ultimately fail then that causes negative emotions which in turn cause stress and then we're even more likely to fail... and so the cycle goes.
But the second half of this book is just filled with tools. He suggests using all three tools together - either in general, or in relation to a specific problem or life issue that's bugging you. But you could also just use whichever of the tools work for you.
The three tools are the Energy Healing Tool (good for tactile learners), The Reprogramming Statements (good for audio learners) and the Heart Screen Tool (good for visual learners).
Now, I really liked the Energy Healing tool. I'm not super into holistic healing or anything but I do believe that energy has the power to heal that we don't understand. It mostly involves placing your hands over your heart, your forehead or your crown and rubbing in small circles. Like I said, I liked this one. I went too hard too soon though and gave myself a headache...
I did not like the Reprogramming statements (although I desperately need them) but that's not surprising as I've never liked audio learning.
On the topic of the Reprogramming statements, the author believes we all have faulty programming (things we've learned over the years that are untrue ie. the statement or belief that you are not worthy, or lovable, or attractive, etc) and that re-wiring your brain is a key to success.
The third tool is the Heart Screen tool which really just means your imagination. This is a meditation/visualization. But rather that focusing on freeing your mind from all thought (which he considers a valuable coping mechanism but not a healing one) this visualization is meant to purposefully direct your thoughts (through images in your imagination).
On top of all that, he talks about how many of us struggle because we have (at some point in our history) created a "life vow". This might be something like, "I'll never let anyone hurt me like that again". Hence, all our actions are based on avoiding that pain and (for example) we may struggle to develop deep, meaningful relationships because we are afraid of being hurt. The idea of a life vow was another of his theories that rang true to me.
At the end of the book he also has a 40 day plan for people that want/need the structure.
Lastly, in my own life I have always struggled with the first step of any plan (identifying what I want). Yes, I know that should be the easiest part and that's why I've always struggled before. In this book he asks you three questions:
What do you want? (He says not to overthink it, just go with the first thing that hits you)
How will getting what you want change your life?
And how will that make you feel?
Then he says that your REAL goal should not be the answer to the first question, but the third. Because the first is likely to be based on external circumstances (which we are never in full control of and therefore bound to lead to stress). This may be something like a promotion, money, weight loss, etc. But the answer to the third question will be an internal state (happiness, peace, freedom, etc). And our true goal should be to achieve that internal state (regardless of HOW we get there - though of course it will be through actions based in love).
So overall, I thought his principles were sound, the tools functional, and I really appreciated reading a self help book that came at it with the perspective of healing your unconscious mind. It felt like it took the pressure off me, since every other plan/book makes me feel like, "If it's this easy why haven't I been able to change before?"
And I would recommend this book to people looking for a way to be happier, healthier and more successful in their life, careers, relationships, etc. And though he recommends working on your spirituality, he does not specifically advocate for religion (he actually believes most religions are too fear-based and cause many negative emotions like shame).
My only negative for the book is that he has too many names for the same thing.
I intend to take all the tests online (once a month or so to see how I'm progressing) and to use the healing tools as close to daily as possible so I do feel like reading it has offered me some new perspective and given me new tools to use to change my life.
To anyone who stuck around reading my review this far, thank you. I don't usually summarize in my reviews but I felt it was important that I try to articulate in my own words what I learned from this book - for it to better sink in.
So I will likely never give a non-fiction book five stars. Four is the best you'll ever get out of me.

I have read a fair share of spiritual books and this one definitely offers something new in terms of physical, mental and spiritual healing. The exercises are practical but you must read with an open mind.
Will try this book and see how it goes.

Viel Blabla um nichts. Ich hatte mir ja ein paar Tools für den meditativen Bereich gewünscht, aber die Erklärungen sind zumindest im Hörbuch so ein Durcheinander :D

how can I give more than 5 stars? I found myself taking notes and going back to re-read chapters. what a refreshing perspective from this author, I thoroughly enjoyed it. it not only challenges organized religion but also the law of attraction and new age spirituality... but then provides his solution to these "flawed" systems with a compelling new paradigm (epilogue). the majority of the book focuses on you and provides concrete tools to heal - rather than cope - with underlying fears, frustrations and difficulties you experience every day. he argues that people tend to cope using vices, stress reduction strategies and traditional medicine without healing our soul or spirit. this book gives you 3 new healing techniques for your soul. he also touches on how to set goals based in love rather than selfishness or fear. an excellent read that I will recommend.

I just don't think I can finish it. Though there were a few good points in the beginning, it is repetitive and irritating and generally unhelpful and boring after that. I was listening to the audiobook so my take may be colored by my annoyance at the narrator as well.

Indubbiamente un ottimo testo per la crescita spirituale, ma ha la pecca di essere spesso ripetitivo, dispersivo e pertanto a tratti pesante. Tecniche descritte molto interessanti e da mettere in pratica.

This book explained many spiritual and supernatural things I knew to be true. It gave me to words and scientific information I needed to make sense of it all. It’s a great read with practical information that can be applied instantly.

not what id thought itd be. made me think it sounded like a buddhism if it had started in the modern west. like a revival tent buddhist spin. if it helped another reader more power to them. but not for me and thats ok.

The Love Code: The Secret Principle to Achieving Success in Life, Love, and Happiness, by Alexander Loyd, was originally published as Beyond Willpower. Loyd wrote this book as a result of the long search for help with his wife’s depression. Loyd states that his process is an “on demand system for happiness.”
The first half of The Love Code “foundation” for the love code. The second half explains the three tools to “deprogram and reprogram” your mind. Loyd presents “the energy medicine tool”, the “reprogramming statement tool” and the “heart screen tool”. He then presents a combination technique which utilizes all three tools.
I approached this book with hopefulness. Finally, a way to reprogram my mind to overcome those nasty little habits that plague me. Unfortunately, 95% of the book is “filler”. Loyd’s “technique” and its utilization could have been presented in one chapter and saved about two hundred pages of attempting to legitimize his technique with reports of studies on extrinsic vs intrinsic goals, cellular memory, and the connection between body-mind-spirit—all of which he appears to believe he was the first to discover.
He also takes the time to harangue hypnosis as dangerous and affirmations as useless. Honestly, after the three-page disparaging of hypnosis—he failed to convince me that hypnosis is dangerous as I have read studies to the contrary—his “that’s just my opinion” seemed a little self-serving. The tone used throughout the book seemed slightly condescending of any technique or opinion other than his own. I can’t help but think that he tried too hard to lend legitimacy to his technique which leads me to the conclusion that he lacks faith in it himself.
The “technique” is a simple combination of energy medicine, affirmations and visualization. He coined a few new words to disguise these ancient techniques—such as “heart screen” for visualization and “reprogramming statements” for affirmations but he presented nothing new. Perhaps I am just a jaded “self-help” reader but out of the dozens of self-help books I have read over the years, Loyd’s was the most pompous. I found his tone offensive and his attempt to pawn off ancient ideas as his revelations was insulting.

This book brought together so many thoughts that felt important for me to hold on to, and then tied them together with a bow into a simple package that is easy to understand, remember, and implement. There was a part of me that was resistant at first to how much I felt the author was trying to convince me that the tools of this book would work, but once I got over that I opened myself up to a rich message that I think the world needs. I needed it, and have already bought 2 copies for people I love. I recommend this book to anyone.

I was pleasantly surprised by this book. I have always been bad about self sabotaging myself and this book helps you learn how to find success in all aspects of your life by working from the inside out. I thought it put a interesting new spin on self help. It does get a little long winded at times and I wish it was a bit smoother getting to the point, but overall I really enjoyed this book.
I received this book from Blogging for Books for an honest review.

I enjoyed reading this. I thought that the author had a good deal to say about how the unconscious and subconscious mind prevents us from attaining our life's most cherished dreams, and it charted a course toward achieving our goals without the specter of anxiety clouding our heads and poisoning our bodies. I think it's definitely worth checking out. It was a refreshing departure from the regular self-help manuals that are on sale everywhere and continually saturate the marketplace.

A little repetitive for me, but if you follow this approach to “The Love Code” I could see possibly working out in ones favour.
“How do you think it’s going to go, trying to succeed at something when you’re sick, dumbed down, tired and have a negative attitude? You may be able to push that rock uphill for a while, but usually it rolls back down and crushes you.”

I had to DNF this. It was okay until I got to a certain part in the book that I just couldn't get passed, no matter how hard I tried. I don't think the author explained it well, because his explanation on how people can get cancer really upset me a lot.

This is a never ending infomercial. Unbearable!
