The Three Conditions: How Intention, Joy, and Certainty Will Supercharge Your Life

by Moshe Gersht

“Moshe Gersht turns spiritual truths into medicine our hearts are longing for.”
―Marianne Williamson, New York Times bestselling author

Why can’t positive thinking lead us all to more fulfilling lives? Because thinking is only part of the equation, according to spiritual teacher and bestselling author Moshe Gersht. The other part, the crucial part that can actually shape the life you want, is how you apply your beliefs. “Knowledge is just a seed in your mind,” writes Gersht. “What makes it grow is your inspired action.” This is the power he shares with his simple and accessible formula for actively pursuing the joy and fulfillment you’ve been longing for.

The Three Conditions are surprisingly

• Through Intention , you’re choosing to live and experience the Truth of who you are
• By expressing Certainty, you’re trusting that the Universe is always directing and assisting you in experiencing your authentic Self
• Joy is the feeling of happiness that acts as the barometer of how aligned you are with intention and certainty

With lucid insight and practices for reflection and growth, Gersht shows you how to embody these conditions more deeply each day―and tap in to your full power and potential.

Rooted in the Torah tradition, Kaballa, and Chasidus, as well as an array of spiritual traditions, this book provides real-time tools to help you cultivate and practice intention, certainty, and joy right now. By following Moshe’s formula, you’ll start living the life you’re destined to live regardless of race, color, or creed. It will point you toward the life behind your life circumstances.

“There are two things that matter what you believe about your Self and what you believe about the Universe,” says Gersht. “This guide is a reminder of the incredible power you have to choose what you believe―and how you are going to live.”

It’s nice that Gersht has read so many of the spiritual, self-help authors out there such as Eckhart Tolle, Deepak Chopra, even Caroline Myss and Esther Hicks. He references them often throughout his book, giving credit where credit is due. To this he adds his insights as a Torah studying Jew living in Israel. It’s because of this that I picked this self-help book up, in the wake of all that is happening. Putting the current genocide aside, I wanted to hear from this person who surely has relatives who were also victims of an ethnic cleansing. But Gersht swam in the shallow end of the pool, unfortunately. It’s easier to find it in you to feel joy when the hardest thing that is happening is that you didn’t get the job you wanted. Or you are suffering from unrequited love. Even pervasive health problems and a death in the family are small potatoes. I kept thinking, “How do you tell the sole survivor in your entire neighborhood to think and breathe their way to happiness?” I’ve been trying NOT to avoid social media because the least I can do is bear witness to the live-streaming systematic extermination of a people. I think about the survivors that I see. The mothers holding their dead babies. The fathers pulling their maimed children out from the rubble. How do they keep going? I wish we knew the words to help them.

Full of beautiful insights. I found it a really inspiring read. At the same time it also felt at times to be a little too “self-helpy”. It feels like he’s saying “If you just do these few things, everything will fall into place perfectly and you’ll be perfectly happy”. He writes about the work that he’s put into to making changes in his life and the positive impacts they’ve had on his life and at the same time is trying to make it sound like you don’t have to do much work. I guess really it just feels a little unrealistic at times. Bottom line, great read, lots of positive impact, but you have to take what he’s saying and figure out how it applies to you and your life. I guess after all it is another self help book.
