This is not a "white lighters" book of "manifestation" but a down and dirty no-holds-barred grimoire designed to set your brain in a fixed direction toward your goal. Sometimes it takes all the subtlety of a sledgehammer of get the point across and that is why "The Forbidden Book of Getting What You Want" was written. Warning!

The author's suggestion of a simple thought scheme - jotting down the goal, setting the intention, outlining a plan, and directing all energy towards it - carries a motivational tone. However, I find it somewhat too straightforward, possibly oversimplified. A whole chapter is dedicated to comparing individuals to forces of nature, proposing that anyone can embody the same strength with clear goals and no excuses.

On the positive side, the book excels in providing a clear focus and an inspiring vision. The notion of eliminating excuses and channeling willpower towards goal achievement resonates with me, offering a motivating starting point. The simplicity of the approach is particularly useful for those seeking an initial boost.

Despite the inspiration, the book falls short in delivering specific methods and strategies, leaving me yearning for more concrete tools applicable to real-life situations. The comparison to forces of nature, while impactful, strikes me as overly simplistic and impractical.

Personally, I value the book's clarity in goal-setting and excuse elimination. However, I wish it offered more practical techniques to complement this straightforward approach. The lack of specific tools limits its applicability, especially in more complex situations.
