After the popularity of The Secret, many people are familiar with and have tried manifesting. Basically, the premise it that if you want something, envision it, believe you will have it, and it will come. In practice, sometimes it works and sometimes it doesn’t.
Why doesn’t manifesting work all of the time? The Invisible Path to Success gets to the root of this problem. The author presents a variety of different possibilities. For instance, often you may say one thing aloud but add a silent PS at the end. You might ask for a raise but immediately after asking think about the unrealistic nature of this request. This tells the universe to cancel the order.
Another likely scenario is that you ask for a billion dollars, a brand new Ferrari, a supermodel wife, and a mansion. Although these things might be great, for a while, the odds that you were put on this earth to do more than lounge beside the pool and drink margaritas. Therefore, if your request doesn’t reinforce or otherwise aid your life purpose, it will again be immediately cancelled.
I absolutely love the movie analogy that the author uses to explain these concepts.

I am a one-woman self-help section -- but posting in case this is helpful to anyone else. Really dug this one.

Bob Scheinfeld's books have really helped me in shifting my financial vocabulary from one of want/need/desperation to one of abundance and more-than-enough mentality. For example, when you are in a store and you ask someone, "How much does this cost?" - you are somewhat implying that it is too much and that you are unable to pay for the particular item you are interested in. It also implies resistance and puts people on the defense. A much better way of asking would be, "What is the request for appreciation for this item?" It frames the situation differently and places you in an abundant mentality. Check it out at: http://www.robertscheinfeld.com/
