A step-by-step guide to the process of “scripting” your future and successfully manifesting what you want in life
• Details daily journaling exercises, beginning with a simple list-making practice and progressing to actual scripting of your future
• Reveals the key phrases to include to make your script come true
• Explores the science behind how the scripting method works and shares the vivid entries from the author’s big breakthrough--when he successfully used his method to land a lead role on a TV show
In this step-by-step guide, filled with success stories and practical exercises, Royce Christyn details a simple “scripting” process for harnessing the Law of Attraction and manifesting what you want in your life--happiness, wealth, travel, love, health, the perfect career, or simply a productive day. The process is backed by science and experience, yet it feels like magic. And all you need is a pen and paper.
Inspired by New Thought and Positive Thinking classics, Christyn explains how he developed his scripting method through 4 years of trial and error, keeping what worked and dropping what didn’t until he brought his success rate from 5% to nearly 100%. Sharing pages from his own journals, he outlines how to create the life you want with daily journaling exercises, beginning with a simple list-making practice to figure out your wants and intentions and then progressing to actual scripting of your future, whether the next 12 hours or the next 10 days. He shows how, over time, your scripts will increase in accuracy until they converge with reality. He shares the vivid entries from his big breakthrough--when he successfully used his method to land a lead guest-starring role on Disney Channel’s Wizards of Waverly Place with Selena Gomez. He explores how “feeling” your future success as you write your daily scripts helps attract your desired outcomes, and he shares the key phrases to include to make your script come true. The author also explores the science behind how the scripting method works, including a down-to-earth examination of quantum mechanics.
From small dreams to lifelong goals, this book gives you the tools to put your thoughts into action and finally close the gap between where you are and where you want to be in your life.
If you've read any books on The Law of Attraction or Cosmic Ordering then you'll have a fair idea of scripting as it follows a similar pattern and train of thought. There's good explanations of the process and some interesting scientific facts too.
I did however have issues with the language and tone of the book. It just felt very hyper. It's great the author believes in his work but it made for exhausting reading. Everything was GREAT or not so GREAT!!!!
It's interesting to read and compare against the dryer books on holistic subjects but the tone was very off putting. A bit of variance would've made this a lot better for me.
Not interested in throwing shade- but isn’t this book about scripting? Where’s the scripting? I read 60 pages and didn’t learn a thing about it. After hitting that realization- I skimmed the rest of the book and still don’t know jack about it.
Definitely a let down- way too much filler, not enough scripting. Royce seems like a smart guy- excited to share his interests in his first book- but I didn’t purchase this book to learn about his past, meme’s or other nonsense- just scripting.
Royce offers practical advice and personal insight on how to implement a scripting and journaling method in the morning and evening in a way to make your desires a reality. He comes from a new thought background, which includes teachings of manifesting. Though the techniques and beliefs presented in the book seemed less about manifesting and more about creating the life you want and are realistically already on the path for. Nothing completely miraculous happens in the form of manifesting. He plays a very active role in co-creating his life and therefore his methods are completely open to anyone. Because of his background in new thought and interest in science, Royce takes a fascinating deep dive in the middle of the book into the science of quantum physics and other scientific theories that may support/or not support manifestation. I'd had some experience researching most of the topics, so all but a few ideas were easily understandable. He did come to different conclusions than I do on certain theories in the science portion. Because of the this section and his emphasis on realistic goals, I think this book could also be called Scripting for Skeptics. It was the only place it left me feeling a little wanting as this took away a little of the magic for me of scripting. On the other hand, he really focuses on the realistic side of scripting, and I think this is beneficial for people not seeing much happening with manifestation. Near the end of the book when you feel he has taught you everything he knows, he begins discussing the fascinating topic of memetics. I hope he will write more on this as it felt he had more knowledge than was shared in the book. Royce is a great writer, and I will definitly be rereading the entire book soon. He also shared a ton of resources in the book. I have Excuse Me Your Life Is Waiting (mentioned in the book) on my to read list very soon. And I will be returning to my review at some point to share my experiences with his method of scripting.
This interesting new book offers a system of journaling in the vein of "the power of positive thinking" and "attractive theory." The premise of the book is that if you write down what you want to happen, it will happen. I tried this method, and I'll have to say it helped me better focus my time and efforts, I was indeed more productive as I tried this method.
The author delves into quantum physics to attempt to explain why the method work. I gamely followed him through a pretty good layman's explanation of quantum physics and brain science. At some point, however, it became too much for me. At the point where a couple of famous scientists suggested that the whole universe is a simulation (of what???), he lost me.
However, as a system of journaling, I found this book helpful. The Scripting system is really a discipline of becoming very, very focused in your journaling and in your life, concentrating on what you really want out of life. I thoroughly enjoyed the book and found it fascinating.
The information about scripting was nothing new and could have been condensed into 10-15 pages. I find that often when books are right at 200 pages long you can usually tell that there will be a lot of filler material. This book was chock full of filler, much of it that couldn't even be tied back to the main thesis of the book.
I also found it absurd that the author claimed that he had basically found a way to get what he wants 100% of the time. Anyone who claims techniques like affirmations, visualization, scripting, etc. can work for 100% of the time is taking the reader (or student) for a ride.
Techniques like scripting have worked for me many times--enough times for me to know that it can work--but my success rate is far from 100%.
The book was also not well organized and structured and was confusing to read. If you want to incorporate scripting into your life, there are plenty of other good sources out there.
Reading Scripting the Life You Want, I found it to be hard to read with the REVIEW ONLY placed throughout the novel. Beyond that, I thought this is a new way of thinking about scripting my life. The way the author explains various subjects that dealt with science, experiences, and self-care. Overall, I enjoyed reading this novel.
Though the concept this book talks about is old and popular, the discussion around quantum mechanics is what I enjoyed the most. I am not sure how and if the method works but the science behind it intrigued me and I loved the way the whole book has been written. Royce seems to come from an authentic place and it was fun reading about his own journey.
Really interesting read. The author explains the science behind his take on manifestation, which makes it more believable and attainable for me, since I always had an issue with The Secret (it just seemed like made up garbage). Interested to see how things play out once I start doing this every day. A couple critiques - the author sometimes wrote like he thought the intelligence of his audience was lacking, which i didn't really appreciate😂 And for an instructional book, there's not much instruction!
The writer of this book is enthusiastic about the law of attraction (and science), but that alone doesn’t make for a good book. According to him the school of New Thought needs new information nobody writes about to make it more effective. Through his love for science he has found this, like The Nexus (the field of all possibilities), or ‘memes’ (changing your beliefsystem through creative visualization), or ‘Picture Script’ (a vision board). There is nothing new under the sun in this book. It actually made the law of attraction concept more confusing.
Great title and cover illustration. Very intriguing topic that will appeal to many readers, and maybe even a few who don't consider themselves to be readers. That's the power of a great title and cover.
The book just wasn't for me. I do think there is potential for success for this book, but I was expecting something more along the lines of John Maxwell's "How Successful People Think," which is still the standard for me in this genre. This book is nothing at all like a John Maxwell book.
Early on, the author discusses what inspired him to write: "it was not only positive thoughts but also the 'vibrations' they emitted that caused our outside reality. Send good vibrations out, receive good things into our lives. Send bad vibrations out, guess what comes back?... I started 'pushing out' the best feelings I could muster... our thoughts create our emotions, and our emotions create our feelings, which in turn create highly charged positive or negative vibrations. These vibrations go out into the Universe and come back to us like a boomerang... For instance, when we're feeling up, filled with joy and gratitude, our emotions are sending out high frequency vibrations that will magnetize only good stuff back to us."
I don't personally know anyone beyond a mature age who subscribes to any type of theory that it is possible to live in a world where you can control everything that happens in your life so that you experience "only good stuff." It does sound good though. Anyone of an adult age who has not experienced some measure of adversity has also not experienced the personal growth and resolve and determination that can result from it. A life of "only good stuff" sounds fantastic in the truest sense of the word, and it doesn't exist for even the most successful people in the world. Things will always happen that we cannot control. Our expectations will not always be met. People will betray us. Misunderstandings will happen. Loved ones will pass away. We won't always get the job or the promotion or the pat on the back that we sought after.
However, the author seems to teach that when bad things happen to us, they are our own fault because "that flat tire 'boomerang' of negative frequency might end up 'matching' you with also getting an unexpected bill, having a fight with your employer, and food poisoning." In summary, he teaches that we experience bad circumstances because we unknowingly put out some bad vibes and they came back to us like a boomerang. If we would have controlled the bad vibes, the bad circumstances could have been avoided. He spends the remainder of the book teaching readers how to eliminate the bad vibes.
Some of the writing from that point was bizarre as the author began to describe how he first discovered that he could control what was happening to him in his life: "I felt this good sensation in my stomach that I found I could almost push into an even better feeling. I can, to this day, only liken it to butterflies (but the good kind) that we feel in our stomach when we're excited, but these butterflies were ones I could control and intensify at will. Once I felt this stirring of positive butterflies in my stomach, I could physically push it outward and make it grow."
The tone of the early portions of the book were as though it were being written by someone in middle school in response to the prompt, "How I Spent My Summer Vacation."
The method of "scripting" alluded to in the book title includes the daily practice of writing down things that you believe will happen on that particular day, thus scripting how the day will unfold as if you were directing a play. He instructs readers to "add the bigger things that you could reasonably see happening" because "there is a power of adding things you know (or are pretty darn sure) will happen."
He also encourages others to follow his methods because "it's time to embrace your selfish side and start being honest with yourself about what YOU want, not what others tell you that you want... Love others enough to selfishly go after your goals."
And some of his methods were confusing to understand, including all parenthetical text that follows, verbatim: "I still started the ten-day (okay, eleven...) 'forward' portion of my script (the part of the script you write beneath the date ten days into the future) with about a handwritten page and a half of general positivity about the 'past week' (in this case, almost two weeks--or eleven days--since I was testing out where the sweet spot was on this Ten-Day Script) followed by the Power Punch Phrase (the line where you reference the script you are currently writing). I wrote out all sorts of wonderful things that had 'happened' over the week and a half. It was really fun to be doing another Ten-Day Script only seven days after my first one..."
It was at this point that I had made it through about 1/3 of the book, and I wanted to quit, but, selfishly, I knew if I did, my Feedback Ratio on NetGalley would never be 100% again, so I kept reading, and I soon came across this contradiction: "99.99 percent of the time the phrase is being thrown around by someone who is--spoiler alert--not a quantum physicist! Shocker, I know. It's not that quantum physics doesn't have a place in all of this. It absolutely does. But what can be frustrating is the seeming willingness (or ignorance?) by many teachers to cherry pick what applies and leave out what doesn't when it comes to quantum physics and manifesting. As I've mentioned, I'm not a quantum physicist..."
The next 1/3 of the book is about quantum physics.
I, too, am not a quantum physicist, and that topic is not an enjoyable read for me. At this point, the tone of the book changed, and it was no longer that of a middle school book report. It was actually quite impressive and very technical, but over my head. I don't know whether the material included in the book is legit or not. It doesn't even seem like the same author wrote that part. I struggled to stay awake. However, at around the 2/3 mark of the book, there was an interesting bit about using something called a Fatum bot to discover new locations and experiences in one's local area that they might have otherwise never known about.
Near the end of the book, the author comes back to the idea that he broached in the opening pages, saying, "I wondered why, despite things going so well in most areas, there were still a few really bad things happening in my life."
This brings to mind a recent movie review I saw on Twitter that answers that question perfectly and describes the classic movie "It's a Wonderful Life" succinctly: "It's a Wonderful Life is worth watching annually just for the demonstration that a life well lived always mixes despair with unbridled joy."
In everyone's life, there will be troubles. We can certainly make things better or worse in how we choose to respond to those difficulties, and I really think the author was trying to address that in some way. Yet there will always be some trouble for all of us. I don't subscribe to any theory that asserts that anyone on this planet is without some type of difficulty.
In closing, I do admire the optimism of the author, and I wish him success in his efforts, including this book. Again, there is an audience for it, and the title, the topic, and the cover are outstanding.
So many extra words to fill the pages. A book on scripting which tells less about scripting but many extra things are written to increase the number of pages of the book ...
Every time I sat down to read this book, I got so excited about the possibilities. That alone made it well worth reading. But I was already doing something similar to this method, and I was already getting some results. I’m super psyched to take it to the next level.
I would summarize the premise of this book as: this life is more of a game or simulation than literally real as we’re used to thinking of it. Like a computer has the mouse and the icons and the desktop as parts of the user interface, we can use writing as a user interface to this life/game thingy.
There are a few chapter in the middle about the science of it, and it’s not just the usual bullshit woo-woo version of “quantum physics” or whatever. I don’t know a lot about physics, but I spent some time married to a physicist, and the stuff this guy mentioned matches a lot of stuff I soaked up during that time. I think it’s pretty legit.
That said, I don’t feel like the science part was strictly necessary. At least, not for people like me. Back in school, when the teachers were always taking the time to prove the stuff they were telling us, I was pretty much like, “whatever, I believe you. Can’t we just go on?” But I had friends who struggled bigtime in math classes because they couldn’t stand not knowing how it all worked and why. So I guess those chapters are for people like that. For me, it was just mildly interesting and caused some really cool dreams about being able to switch realities at will. So there was that.
Overall, the method is pretty damn simple and doesn’t really need such a long book, but I did enjoy the way the book unfolded. If you want to experience that for yourself, you should stop reading here. But I use Goodreads mainly as a venue for taking notes on books for my future self, so I’m going to spell it out here.
This guy was experiencing a success rate less than 50% with his manifesting techniques prior to this method. In creating this method, he set out to hit at least 65%. I don’t think he ever said what his new rate actually is, but he’s real damn excited about it, that’s for sure.
I guess the actual rate doesn’t really matter as long as it’s better. Better is better.
Using journaling and the process of scripting, you can manifest what you want in life. With a step by step guide to scripting and how to set out intentions that you want in life, you can pick up this book and learn how to manifest through scripting. Royce has been scripting for most of his life, and supplies written diary entries of his own to show how he started and how his scripting evolved over the years. Although you do get instructions on how to script and how to get the most out of scripting, with multiple exercises to complete; there is also a lot of scientific detail into how and why it works. Some of which I only understood because I’ve watched The Big Bang Theory! There are some nice easy bits where you can relate to Royce and understand how he came to do what he does but for the most part it is heavily academic and scientific as mentioned, there were a lot of words used that could have been very confusing if you did not have a basic understanding of it. Although he tries to explain it in some detail, Royce is not a scientist (as he repeats throughout the book) so there is only so much you can take away from it. For the most part, I enjoyed it. I like learning about manifesting and the variety of ways that manifesting takes place. I love to journal so this felt like it would be perfect for me, I just struggled with the information on quantum mechanics and the like. There were plenty of exercises and instructions on how to do them and Royce provided his own journal entries which is always helpful to see, especially if you are new to the idea of manifesting. I loved seeing his wants and intentions come to life. My least favourite part of the book would have to be the science behind it all - although interesting could have been left out as there wasn't any real way to minimise it. There are photos throughout the book which help with visualising what your journal could look like and there were some from his early days on his new job that he scripted into reality. It was nice to see that it worked for him. Overall, I liked learning a new way of manifesting and I would recommend it to anyone who is interested in the art of manifesting but also learning the science behind it and how it works. Thanks to NetGalley and the publisher for gifting a copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.
It was an awful read to be honest.I felt so frustrated about his content 30% in the book. A lot of filler pages,about shit that doesn't relate to the topic of the book after all.Scripting was about 20% of the book the rest was some long ass story about his career as a guest star lmao.I was quite excited to read this book but after reading it,I felt like I wasted my time on this book.I'll give an extra star for some new technique I haven't heard of yet but god was it lengthy and boring to read.All those studies about nexus or quantum physics were not needed to understand the idea of scripting as a whole.You can script without needing this knowledge and yet he had to shove it down our throat for more than 50% of the book it was a painful read ngl.I wouldn't recommend wasting your time reading the whole book if you are familiar with law of attraction quantum physics 4D and the likes,and even if you aren't familiar with it,don't.Most of his stuff is headlines and studies made by scientist so you might as well go do your research on Reddit forum lmao.Book left such a bad taste on my brain/heart I had to rate it.Might try the book that inspired him tho(Excuse me ,your life is waiting)
I'm new to manifesting, and heard of scripting only recently. I want to use it for more control over my results each day (at work, in relationships, everywhere - focusing on myself, helping me making better choices and being less reactive). I think it is an amazing way to implement intentions more effectively and create a good life.
I really loved the practical advice on scripting and found it very inspiring. However, most "scientific explanations" were nonsense (i.e. wrong & annoying pseudo-science) for a perfectly reasonable and helpful practice (the explanation does not need quantum physics (a pseudo-scientific one at that). We live in a macroscopic world and not a submicroscopic one, so why do we need quantum physics /quantum theory to explain our world?!??).
The pseudo-scientific parts of the book were at times amusing, but mostly felt like a colossal waste of my time and, at times, they also very annoying. I was close to put the book down and not read further, but fortunately, I managed to suffer through the pseudo-science. Because the practice works and the author gives in-depth and very helpful advice on how to build the practice and make it effective.
The practical part would deserve even more than 5 stars. But the "scientific" part was so bad that I can't give more than 3 stars.
I'd definitely recommend this book to people who journal and would like more purpose out of journaling. My gf introduced me to the idea of scripting and I've watched her make magic happen. And this book is a strong and complete introduction to scripting.
A look at his story, like being on tv with Selena Gomez, and names and books introduced. Master manifested, intentions, daily scripting, some q&as about scripting, and other topics introduced. Nice topics talked about.
I found this book to be very helpful. I’ve started to incorporate some of these techniques, but I keep getting lost in my day and forget to follow through. But I’m excited to get my butt in gear and see what happens.
Write down your intentions for each day, visualize it and it will manifest. Common sense and awareness in my opinion, but maybe others need an extra stimulans.
An unusual and novel approach to manifesting. It seems practical and doable. But the only way to know if it works is to try it and see if you get the results you're after.
When I first read this book, it didn’t resonate with me. It felt forced, like the author was trying to convince me this stuff works. Royce’s explanations seemed fragmented, like he was pulling the information from several different sources. It didn’t flow for me. He lost me with the mugging. I set the book aside. I decided to revisit the book and the system. This second time, it felt familiar, very familiar. Much of what the book outlines is covered in Write It Down, Make It Happen by Henriette Anne Klauser, Ph.D. In Write It Down, Klauser shows you how to write your own lifescript. Overall, the purchase was worth the instructions on the 10-day script.
