Thank you, Andrews McMeel Publishing, for the advance reading copy.

I find the book really good for the beginners’ level. For anyone who’s interested in knowing and understanding the basic concept of manifestation can go for this book without a doubt!

The cover, the content, the concept everything clicks and is so easy to follow.

Five different chapters starting with the basic understanding of the topic, its history and how we can apply the concept, the book is good!

I received an advanced reader copy of this book to read in exchange for an honest review via netgalley.

This is a very compact book with all the information you need to start your manifesting journey. I was always curious about this topic, but what I knew came from what I searched online, as well as some YT videos.

I'm glad I got to read this book. I learned so much from it, since it has all the basics (reminds me of a "manifesting 101" class) and the author explained all the concepts really well. A big recommendation to everyone who wants to learn more about manifesting.

wow I finished this in one sitting haha! I picked this up tonight and didn’t think I’d end up reading the whole thing but here we are an hour and a half later having read it all.

I think this is such a cute little easy to read starter guide to manifestation. Even if you have been manifesting for a long time it’s nice to have this as a guide or a reminder of different steps and techniques in order to help on your manifesting journey.

I liked that it was easy to use, split into small chapters and had nice little reminders and quotes to keep energy high.

Recommend to anyone starting or already deep in their manifesting journey as a little ‘user guide’.

The title and topic of this book instantly caught my attention and I’m glad it did!
This book is the perfect and structured guide for anyone wanting to know about manifestation or start their journey.
Everything that you need to know about manifestation is explained in a step-by-step method right from the real meaning of it, history, popularity and most importantly various techniques and methods to actually put all the knowledge into action. Also, it has various affirmations and manifestation related quotes in the book to enhance the mood even further.
I would definitely recommend this to anyone who is keenly interested in knowing about the manifestation/Law of attraction concept!

[Kelly Pramberger · Rating 4 out of 5]

This is a gem of a book. I knew a bit about manifesting but this really goes into the details of the origins and ways to specifically practice! I appreciated the easy to understand language. I would suggest this book to friends that are ready to bring their desires into fruition.

Thanks to NetGalley for the advanced copy for the purpose of this review.

it’s an easy book to read and lays out the principles and basics very simply so anyone can follow it. I just don’t see how writing something 55 times is going to make it happen in 5 days :/ but I liked the idea of writing a letter to myself from 5 years in the future to visualise what i’ve achieved👍🏼 decent book but not for everyone

[Rebecca McAlees · Rating 3 out of 5]

This was a helpful little book about manifesting for beginners. It was informative and simple to understand. If anyone is wanting to start manifesting, I recommend giving this a read.

Any time you see a "The Little Book of..." title, it generally implies that the information within will be introductory and compact. That's exactly what we have here. The Little Book of Manifestation is very much a beginner's guide- introducing the concepts of manifestation and visualization in a simple, succinct way along with providing some entry-level exercises for those who are new to exploring these concepts.

With those expectations in place, this book is delightful. Astrid Carvel's tone is friendly and avoids the intimidation factor that can come along with trying to learn many of these practices. She also does a great job of including a wide variety of approaches, giving the reader the opportunity to follow where they feel resonance.

For those more experienced with manifesting, this could serve as an opportunity to revisit the basics to strengthen the foundation of your practice or to give you a refresher if your practice starts to feel stale. It could also be used as a tool to teach others in your life about this approach.

I'm looking forward to exploring more books from this author!

Was excited to try this little book to understand principles of the law of attraction which is described here in an interesting way. However found it hard to follow with it being so circumlocutive, and had no way of simplifying steps for later, unless I put in the effort to reduce it through the sea of words myself. Positively there is interesting information within that I hadn't thought/heard of before, such as frequencies, and a quick excerpt on angel numbers.
Not sure this is going to get me far as I'll likely avoid it on the bookshelf with struggling to find the point, however it is a good well researched reference point.

[R.A. Miller · Rating 5 out of 5]

I've been really interested in reading about new age ideas and practices lately. This book was a cute introductory guide to manifestation-the history, practice, and common methods of engaging with it. As someone who has no idea where to start, this book is exactly as advertised. It explains the theory, sets the scene, and provides a litany of ways you might try this in your own life. I especially loved the ideas it had around vision boards and journalling which are two things I really enjoy doing. All in all, would love to have a physical copy of this one in the future as I think I would use it more as a reference guide than a researching read.

This was an honest Netgalley review.

[Chapter.whispers.reads · Rating 5 out of 5]

For someone who wants to start knowing about manifestation, this book is perfect. The starting of the boom have others reference books about manifestation and famous people opinion about manifestation and how it has positively changed their life. There are various techniques explained in this book like 3-6-9 method, 55×5 method, visual boards and how to use them.

I wholeheartedly believe in manifestation and have started practicing it for a few years, yet sometimes I just miss this concept and feel sad for things not happening. The main thing is not about not happening, but I'm not open to it to attract back.

3/5 stars!

I voluntarily read and reviewed an advance copy of this book from the publisher via NetGalley. All thoughts and opinions are my own.

This is an interesting book about manifestation for beginners. I liked that the author gave a lot of things for us to try to find the best ways for us, individually, to do manifestations. As someone who's already aware of manifestation and were already practicing it, I didn't get much from this, that's why I think this is suited more on beginners for the practice.

[Mel · Rating 4 out of 5]

I was surprised just how much I enjoyed this. Packed full of useful and practical ideas for meditative manifestation. Essentially, this is a productivity / success psychology book in spiritual garb. Everything made good sense except the angel numbers stuff which is why I gave 4 stars instead of 5. If you're someone who wants to use meditation to support the achievement of personal goals, then this is a good place to start.

4/5

This was a wonderful book to learn about manifestation. This is a very wonderful step by step guide to manifestion so you can easily learn more or start your journey.. I also loved how in depth she goes into the meaning, history, imprortant techniques and popularity. Astris does a wonderful job of giveing you all the tools to put the steps into action.

Thank you Netgalley for gifting me an advanced compy in return for my honest review.

Mình đọc bản tiếng Việt tên là “Nhập môn Manifest” của nhà Bookland (138 trang)

Cuốn này siêu dễ đọc luôn, từ Manifest là gì, tóm lược lịch sử của Manifest đến những điều cần biết và cách thực hành. Tất cả đều được tác giả viết ra 1 cách ngắn gọn, đơn giản và dễ hiểu

Em này rất phù hợp với những bạn nào mới bắt đầu tìm hiểu về Manifest và Luật hấp dẫn í, vì trong sách giới thiệu rất nhiều công cụ và phương pháp thực hành Manifest (rất rất ngắn gọn nhưng vẫn chi tiết và đủ để mình biết cách thực hành theo)

Rất dễ đọc á mn. Mình ngồi cafe vừa đọc vừa take note các thứ mà tầm 2 tiếng là xong rồi 😄

[Belle · Rating 4 out of 5]

I really like the "little book" format. I assume this is part of a series of similar little books. It is very pretty and cute, and easy to read. It would resonate with those interested in the Law of Attraction. I found some of the exercises quite good. The overall tone and style makes this book very enjoyable.

This little book makes a lot of sense. It is done in easy chapters and each is informative and to the point. Is is easy to read and not technical. You don’t have to go out and buy expensive things. The main message is that you can create what you want within reason through thought and action. The author captured this well and also made it very entertaining.

[Staceywh_17 · Rating 4 out of 5]

I've just started on my spiritual awakening and manifestation for my future. I've always used crystals and chakras etc for healing, but have never tried manifestation before now. Carvel's book is exactly what it says, it's small but is absolutely packed with all the information and knowledge you need to begin your manifestation journey.

[Joni Owens · Rating 4 out of 5]

I found this book extremely helpful. There were a lot of different ways shown to manifest. This isn’t a “do it this way” book. It gives you options to try different techniques. I also loved the quotes scattered throughout.

[C.H. Elton · Rating 5 out of 5]

very clear and easy to read. I'd recommend to anyone wanting to learn about the art of manifestation and the law of attraction.

I loved this book. I learned so much about a very interesting subject. I think might want to read it again.

[Isabelydancer00 · Rating 5 out of 5]

Cute cover design caught my attention.
Little book filled full of info.
Nothing new to me but it is Packard nicely and sooo cute!

[Melanie · Rating 4 out of 5]

This is a great guide to the history and basics of manifestation. It provides a lovely guide as to how to manifest, what manifestation might look like to different people and some of the best practices. It provided some useful information about frequency manifesting which was new to me and I enjoyed learning the background of how these methods came about and work.

[Ayra · Rating 3 out of 5]

a good book to learn about what manifestation is and how to ace it.

[Giada Andolfo · Rating 5 out of 5]

È un manifesting book molto easy peasy, per chi è alle prime armi 🥺 Col senno di poi, mi sarebbe servito due anni fa, quando non avevo esperienza e mi ero appena avvicinata al mondo del manifesting.

Molto easy e Basic, per chi ha appena cominciato.
Ps. Sì, lo so, mi mancano una miriade di recensioni di libri US che ho terminato ma non ho ancora recensito nel blog (penso che farò la recensione italiana e quella inglese separate, perché tutta insieme è sempre stata molto dura e stancante da scrivere)

[🪼⋆｡𖦹°𝐒𝐭𝐚𝐫🫧⋆.ೃ࿔*:･ · Rating 4 out of 5]

Wonderful starting tool for those ready to learn about manifestation. The general publishing format is so simple that I’ve read this in a matter of one day.


If you are looking for something very simple to introduce yourself to the world of manifestations and their concepts with little to absolutely no previous knowledge this is certainly it.

I enjoyed the various mix of history, cultural tradition mentions, and prompts for you to do while you are still half way through.
I would actually make it a bit longer

Definitely recommend to individuals new to such

4 stars

This was just what I needed!
Very informative and interesting and perfect for beginners.
A perfect book to start the new year because it gives you the tools to manifest whatever your heart needs.
A great tool.

Thank you to Netgalley and the publishers for the chance to read this book in exchange for an honest review.
