About the author
Mabel Katz
47 books37 followersMabel Katz is an internationally acclaimed speaker, author, and seminar leader who is recognized as a leading authority on Ho'oponopono, an ancient Hawaiian art and practice for achieving greater clarity of purpose and living and working more effectively. She has crafted a series of keynotes, talks, and seminars for corporations, businesses, and individuals - including seminars for children - that apply the practices of Ho'oponopono to bring companies closer to their full potential and give people an edge at work and in all areas of life.
Based on using forgiveness and gratitude, her presentations focus on practical ways for reaching what she calls Zero Frequency®, a state where we are free of restrictive memories and limiting self-talk. From the clarity of Zero, outstanding solutions become apparent and excellent choices can be made.
Mabel is also rapidly gaining acclaim for her work in support of world peace. She has spoken in front of national senates and other influential government bodies and has presented at the United Nations. She has addressed multi-cultural audiences, including those of diverse ethnicities in the Middle East. Honored with the prestigious 2012 Mil Milenios de Paz Peace Flag, acknowledging her world-peace initiative, "Peace Within Is World Peace", she was officially recognized as one of the world's pre-eminent Peace Ambassadors. On January 1, 2015 she was awarded by the prestigious Public Peace Prize organization, being laureate in the PEACE WEAVER category.
Born in Argentina, Mabel moved to Los Angeles in 1983 where she became a successful accountant, business consultant and tax advisor. In 1997 she started her own company, Your Business, Inc., a step that not only enhanced her own success but also increased her ability to work more directly with others. Her company prospered by helping new and established businesses to expand and grow.
Amplifying her contribution to the LA Latino community Mabel created and produced a radio program, Despertar (Awakening), then a television talk show, The Mabel Katz Show. Motivated by her desire to bring awareness about better living choices for the Latino Community, her shows employed the best features of Oprah, Suze Orman, and Rachael Ray. As a result of her media work, speaking and seminars, she has become known in the Spanish-speaking community as "the Latino Oprah Winfrey." Mabel has received numerous prestigious local and national awards recognizing her achievements in business and with local communities.
Despite the success of her business and her media celebrity, Mabel chose to move from those endeavors to follow her heart's desire; devoting her prodigious talents and powerful drive to assisting people worldwide with what she has learned and continues to learn from Ho'oponopono.
Studying and traveling with Ho'oponopono Master Teacher Dr. Ihaleakalá Hew Len, Mabel deepened her learning. Mabel has been exposed 24 hours a day for more than a decade to the Secret beyond the Secrets of this Hawaiian ancient art of problem solving. She shares how she has used it to move into a fulfilling and successful life of travel, speaking and working with others to create the lives they had only dared to imagine.
From that foundation, she designed her unique workshops to bring her wisdom and gifts to audiences across the planet. She also authored her first book, The Easiest Way, which has received widespread praise from readers and thought leaders alike. In her talks she often shares how she has used what she has learned to move into a fulfilling and successful life of travel, speaking and working with others to create the lives they had only dared to imagine.
Today, Mabel maintains a busy global speaking and seminar schedule.

Mabel Katz has good intentions. She introduces you to the Hawaiian spiritual practice of “Ho’oponopono” in an attempt to make life changing adjustments to our world view. We could live with less stress, anger, and hurt, which are all memories. It is our memories that make our relationships strained, or make us defensive, etc.
In short chapters she describes what our minds do to us, and how we allow our inner child to manipulate us. She says the “Ho’oponopono” method brings us back to zero. By saying “Thank you, I love you” she says that we clear our minds of painful memories that hold us back and make us timid. By centering ourselves and cleansing ourselves we empower ourselves.
The only problem is she never really explains how to do this “letting go.” The book felt like a giant “As Seen on TV.” ad. She just kept repeating the same things. I also didn’t like how she said that we bring everything on ourselves because of our attitudes or energy. Sometimes bad things happen, that we didn’t cause. I can’t accept that we put energy out there and then someone breaks into our house and assaults us. I had to put the book down for a month after reading that women who have been sexually assaulted invited it by their energy reading. I refuse to believe that.
But I picked the book back up because I do believe that our inner child needs healing and that meditation is a way that can do that. I am glad that I finished the book, but I wish that Katz was better at expressing the method that she is obviously passionate about. She says she studied for a long time with a Hawaiian master, but her description of the process is shallow and lacking.
Like other reviewers, I feel like I don’t know how to apply it to my life. I do however feel intrigued to find out more about it from someone more qualified.

Scopul nostru este fericirea. Daca iubesti tot ce te inconjoara, daca ai puterea sa ierti, daca iesi de pe pilot autonomat si din zona ta de confort, iti faci un bine infinit, acesta este mesajul cartii si definitia pentru cea mai usoara cale de a-ti trai viata in acceptiunea lui Mabel Katz, autoare argentiniana, realizator TV si profesoara a artei hawaiene din Ho'oponopono.

December 11, 2022"Ho'oponopono" consists of four specific phrases that for some reason... the author decides not to mention... in a book written.. about ho'oponopono... but ok

I received a free copy of this book through goodreads. The concepts were thoughtful, but I struggled to apply them to myself. I suppose I was looking for more concrete ways to actually apply 'letting go', although my take away from the book is that it kind of happens without my specific direction. I was left a bit confused....perhaps I need to read more on this concept to fully understand the true meaning. I do enjoy different perspectives on living happily and am open to different cultural ways of getting the most out of life and being happy from within. I would like to read more on this to understand it better.

Easy read, good read,
I was skeptical when someone recommended this book. I never heard before about the author, neither about ho'oponopono. My judgmental self decided this book is a form of spiritual mambo-jumbo, but at least I was curious to check it.
I was pleasantly surprised and enjoyed it.
The book offers quite a long list of good life advice, covering in easy language & short chapters a lot of tools useful to improve one's life quality. It also has its subjective / spiritual side, but that's for each to consider if applicable in their own system of beliefs.
I recommend it.

Certainly an easy book to read, with lots of short chapters ending with enough white space to have the next chapter faced by a consistent image of tree branches.
I suppose it contains a lot of good advice, do what you love, let go of your past, but I think nothing new for me. Or maybe I am just not the right audience for someone who is no doubt an inspirational speaker.

Awesome book.
To the point. Easy read. You can read one chapter per day and apply it. Very simple to apply but effects are great. Love the book.

This is not a book i'd usually read but it was recommended to me. I felt very torn whether I loved this book or hated it. I came to the conclusion that I was able to pull out very good information and quotes out of this but I did not agree with everything the author said. The book was overly repetitive but I liked that the chapters were short so that I could read 2-4 chapters per night.
Overall, Mabel Katz was able to help persuade me to use some Ho'oponopono techniques in my life. The way she describes can be quite beautiful.

Un singur lucru voi scrie, Ho'oponopono chiar functioneaza. Recomand cu drag tehnica hawaiana, cât despre cărțile lui Mabel, nu stiu ce as putea spune. Sunt scrise în asa fel încât oricine poate citi si intelege. Se repeta foarte mult, dar cred ca avem nevoie de o cicălire pentru a ne intra in cap anumite lucruri.
Am ascultat-o și pe youtube. Nu spune nimic diferit de ceea ce a scris.
Oricum, ma bucur ca am descoprit-o.

I was thrilled to win the book on Goodreads. I was disappointed in the book. It was divided in to quick , easy to read chapters, which was nice, but they are trying to teach a lifestyle concept in a few pages, which is just not possible. They invited you to go online and share after each chapter, but I just was not inspired to do so.

Mabel Katz, El camino mas fácil
Mabel has a great way to inspire you and fill your heart and soul with hope and peace. Reading her book has made me stop and think, how can I change my life and make it better for me.
