Possibly the most gleefully stupid book I've ever read in my life. Full of the utmost idiocy, the book's entire content simply adds up to this: good things will happen if you hope for them. It's really just a book on praying adapted for tastes of new age readers. Instead of praying to some god when you're sad, you should just pray to the universe. Because, you know, the universe cares about you. Forget that on a universal scale you are indistinguishable from the bacteria that live inside your gut: the universe cares about what you want and will help you get it.
The chapter on how this works is very imprecise. Apparently it's like going down the stairs instead of taking the lift and meeting a delivery man you would otherwise have missed. How that relates to the universe getting you the boyfriend you want is not clear. Who sent you the cosmic boyfriend parcel? Who received your boyfriend order? It's clear that it's just a god in disguise.
At least this god has the benefit of not wanting anything in return: no need for following any of those silly rules other religions have, like not working on Saturdays, or not eating pork, or not eating cows, or not coveting your neighbour's wife. All this great mail order god requires is that you order more, more, more! Who can't dig a religion like that? Why should religion be a chore? After all, there's a lot of competition out there - if you're going to go to all the trouble of believing in one of these fellows, the least they can do is give you everything you want!
Hilariously, towards the end the author can't even be bothered to finish writing the book, and just prints her notes in bullet form!
The sources are laughable - for example entire pages of those notes are reproduced from three books by someone who wrote a letter to his god asking lots of questions and then found that - oooh! - his pen didn't stop writing at the end of the letter and wrote all the answers. Like I said, laughable!
Her mention of Uri Geller is also delectably stupid. She begins by saying that she thought his spoon-bending was an optical illusion, then says that her friends corrected her. Aha, I thought, finally a bit of sense in this most daft of books, but no: her friends informed her that he simply persuades the atoms of the spoon to disperse with the power of his mind. Good grief! There's nothing mystical about spoon-bending.
You would think that having written a book about one crazy idea, the author would stick to that one thing, rather than chucking in more foolishness, but of course not: cosmic ordering can also help you to contact the dead. She tells us sagely that there is "increasing evidence" for the existence of a spirit world - oddly she neglects to provide any footnotes pointing us in the direction of this evidence. Here's the real evidence: James Randi has offered a million dollars for anyone demonstrating any supernatural abilities, such as contacting the dead. No one has claimed that money. So we must conclude that anyone who openly claims to be a psychic, medium etc is a fraud. Even if they don't need the money themselves, there are many deserving charities to which they could donate it.
If you've read Michael Shermer's Why People Believe Weird Things, you'll be pleased to see gathered together in one book almost every problem identified in his chapter How Thinking Goes Wrong. In particular, scientific language does not make a science; bold statements do not make claims true; rumours do not equal reality; and, especially, after-the-fact reasoning and coincidence.
This book will appeal to the slow-witted, the extremely gullible, and anyone who wants to be told, you will get everything you want, all you have to do is hope - and buy this ridiculous book.
With the Office of Fair Trading taking long-overdue action against so-called psychics, hopefully it'll only be a matter of time until books like this are prevented from having "self-help" printed on the back, and are removed to a supernatural shelf, where their pernicious influence will only affect those who actively search them out, rather than preying on vulnerable people looking for help.

Не знам, дали "работи", но обичам книги, които ми показват, че има защо да съм щастлива! Хубаво е понякога да си напомняме, че колкото повече мислим за хубавите неща от живота, вглеждаме се в красивото и търсим доброто у хората, толкова повече ще ни се отрвъща със същото.

Lastig om sterren te geven. Het hoofdstuk over de diepere relatie met jezelf vond ik erg goed, maar de hoofdstukken die je vertellen dat:
- als het niet lukt, komt het omdat je het niet echt wilt
- ziek worden en beter worden dus ook de eigen 'schuld' is
Wat het boek voor je kan doen: oefenen in het nadenken over wat je wilt. Het geeft een platform waarin dat mag en een denk experiment om mee te oefenen. Handig voor de mensen die vooral van zichzelf moeten en nog niet mogen willen.

i liked the bit about saying 'peace be with you' when someone is annoying or upsetting you, i'll try to remember that one! What a pity that the books recommended at the back by ella kensington are in german only.
Maybe i'll come back and add extra stars if my order is fulfilled....

Книгата е написана на достъпен и разбираем език с примери от ежедневието. Най-малко ми създаде усещане за спокойствие и уют. Много приятно четиво, което те кара да се замислиш за по-висшите от човека сили

Nice read with some practical tips on manifestation. A little bit basic though, and she meandered a little at times.

This is an older book that clearly and in simple terms helps you understand how to work with the Universe on getting what you want. Of course, we all know this from The Secret and other books that cover this subject, but this one was a short, quick read that was too the point and practical. As I read it, I could pull up example after example of how I am currently working with the Universe and it gave me ideas on how to improve this already established connection. Hint, gratitude is one of the best ways. An even better one is accepting everything that comes your way.

More of an anedoctal memoir than a how-to guide towards the "cosmic delivery service" or manifestation. If you know anything about manifestation already, this book won't serve you at all, but if you are looking to be convinced of it, it's a short and sweet read.
I will say that it does have some edges of the ol' ✝️ work ethic, self-blame energy under the surface, so take all advice with a healthy pinch of salt 🧂 😉

Нищо особено. На тази тема съм чела много по-интересно написани и много по-задълбочени книги. Може би става за начинаещи в тази област, които се интересуват да попрочетат нещо леко свързано с психиката на човека и как да мислим по-позитивно. Да имаме хигиена на мислите.

Блестящ представител на "немска леля пише книга" жанра. Елементарна до оглупяване, дребнава до самодоволство и коронясана с 28 страници цитати от самата себе си, които авторката е добавила в края като "мозайка от мъдрости за всеки ден".

This is a short (mercifully) book and simply and clearly written. If you like the idea of cosmic ordering its an easy read and gives you enough to get going. I find it works quite often too, and have done particularly well with ordering parking spaces! Have fun with it.

One could think: what esoteric bullshit.
As an engineer… I thought: But what if it works? The cost of trying these approaches and that they do not work is minimal compared to the possible gains, if they do.

主要在講身心平衡後能心想事成。
關於保持自己心靈平穩的方式蠻不錯的，沒有全部都是形而上的東西。我自己也覺得，在無法丟棄臭皮囊之前放著健康不管是不對的。
至於宇宙會回應，就看每個人自己的感受。「因為把自己修煉到心平氣和，所以可以跟宇宙下訂單。」這個我還是覺得怪怪的。

November 6, 2009Although I enjoyed some of the far out ideas in this book, I have found that they don't work. Maybe they don't work for me specifically. But hell I believed it possible so I don't know why I would be 'blocked' as Barbie Mohr would have you believe. Anyway I think this is some ol' BS way of making money... That works a lot of the time doesn't it?

"When a person can make a wish without worry or attachment to the outcome, the wish will be granted immediately."
"Your natural state is joy, love, and abundance in everything. Everything else is artificial and an error."
