This book changed my life when I first read it years ago.
I can't say that often, and if I can say it about one book, it's this one. Anyone who wants to have a happier, more abundant life really needs to read this book. It's heads above the rest of any book you can read when you are starting on a journey of abundance and being the best human you can be. It's written in a conversational tone that makes it easy to comprehend but all the info still comes through.
The book reiterates several times that knowledge without action means nothing. This is extremely true. There are some exercises in the book to do. Don't just casually think your answers while trying to binge the book through the end-- be patient, and give yourself that time with pen and paper and DO those exercises. Having come from a family with a poverty mindset, they are the most helpful exercises I've ever done in my life. I had some real lightbulb-over-the-head moments. We all have such faulty programming, from our parents and other relatives, teachers, friends, the media, etc. When you sit down and think "are all these things I've been taught about money and happiness REALLY true?" it'll change your life when you realize they are not. I was truly stunned when I did the guided exercises & wrote down the faulty things I was taught by my family and general attitudes of my friends. I was so grateful to this book for making me even examine these things; I never would have done that normally, and would have been living with the wool over my eyes for the rest of my life. You will never feel NON-abundant again when you open your eyes.
One of the early things you learn in the book is a bit about quantum physics. Don't let that deter you or think it's going to be tough reading; it's not. It opened my eyes to how matter is created and thus how material things get to us. Yes, it's really kind of that simple. The breaking-down of a chair into molecules and beyond was brilliant and made the point perfectly.
Dov talks a lot about resonance. When you have finished reading about it, it'll likely hit you hard how big of an effect that resonance has on your world. We cannot have something if we can't resonate with it. It just can't be. That hit me hard, I'll admit. I can't have a fancy car if I can't resonate with being someone who owns a fancy car; I can't have a big home if I can't resonate with being someone who lives in and maintains a big home; I can't have a high-powered job if I'm not prepared to resonate on the level of someone who does what's needed for a high-powered job; and I can't have a lot of money if I can't resonate to having a lot of money. It sounds so obvious, but when this sinks in you will do a lot of soul-searching about what you feel you deserve and what you can attract and handle in life. You will NOT have ANYthing in life that you do not feel you deserve or if you feel you'll never have it or wouldn't be able to handle it.
I recommended this to two people who were on the same path I was at the time, and they absolutely loved it so much. They then passed it on to a couple other relatives! That warmed my heart. One made the comment that she got sick of seeing Dov mention his conferences/seminars often. I have two things to say about this. One, if you were reading the book when it was new and you wanted Dov's help, it was stated there for you that it was available. If not, no big deal. Two, I think it says something about having a negative reaction to that, because in my eyes it wasn't mentioned THAT much and I thought nothing of it. To me he wants to help people (yes, he of course charged for the service, which makes complete sense) and is sharing that he's available for that; to her it was a shameless ploy for money. We were at two different places in our mindsets and I felt sad that she was upset by those mentions. If you don't like it, just ignore it and enjoy the wealth of info in the book!!!
Once you have devoured this book and done the exercises and advanced as a happy and abundant human being, and after you have given the book to anyone you think could benefit from it, I recommend that you follow it up with A Happy Pocket Full of Money. I know it's a ridiculous title, but as a follow-up to this book it works. It reinforces a lot of what's presented in this book, in a way you can further process. Also, there is a very good sequel to this book also by Dov, called "Don't Read This Unless You Want More Money." I wasn't sure how I'd like it even after having read the first half of the book, which seemed to be a compacted presentation of THIS book; but then he started going into the additional info (the "meat," you could say) and I learned more and it was great!
Now I want to re-read this book. LOL. It's so sentimental to me since it changed my life for the better. Dov, if you are reading this, kudos. It's been years since I read this and I still feel its daily impact. I've always wanted to get in contact somehow to tell you this personally; maybe this will reach you. Also, Dov, please contract an audiobook version. I think it'd do very well on Audible, and I'd be the first to pre-order. I'd love to listen to this in the car, at work, or while going to sleep. I've OFTEN wished it was on audio.

This incredibly powerful book explains the quantum connection that allows us to manifest everything we want in our lives. One of the most influential books I have ever read! In this book you will learn: how the law of resonance is the real law that determines your reality; the six foundations of Full Spectrum Abundance; how your belief systems create the fears that hold you back from your dreams; the key to it all, The Equation for Manifestation.
Don't Read This...Your Ego Won't Like It! goes into much greater detail than his pocket sized book Getting What You Want...To Want You.
This book will change your life!
