MagicalDecember 6, 2008 I love Wayne Dyer's work. He manages to make complicated subjects simple, utterly believable and real. Reading this book felt like at last someone was telling the truth.

Don't read this review if you want to know the truth about "manifestation..."December 4, 2008 3 out of 4 found this review helpful
I've been into the self-help books since I was 20, today I am 34 and I've read 200 (or more) books of this kind (including almost all books from "the law of attraction"), so after so many years reading so much rubbish my mind was very confused and my life too. On the financial realm, I got a enourmous debt, on the professional realm, I got only stress and more stress and a unhappy job, the more I "tryed" to use the secret and others "tools" (like Dyer Japa meditation to manifestation...) the more my life sunk.
I made all the mantras they say here, and believe me, nothing happened, no wait, my financial situation actually got worse!!!
One day, in deep depression I collapsed, and I did what I should have done 10 years ago, going to a psychologist, a real professional about our mind health.
Only when I started to visit a "real" psychologist, my life startet to turn to a "real" good life, a better work, making theaters clases to learn how the be an actor (what a always wanted since I was 16, but never had the courage to do it), and so on. Today I can say I have a happy life, because, and I quote, I live in the "real" world right now, I am working hard to change my financial situation, and I know it will take a long time to fix the mess I made following so many self-"help" books.
Do you know what the secret really is? And nobody from the self-help business want you to know??????
YOU DON'T NEED THEIR BOOKS TO HAVE A HAPPY LIFE!!!
If you are confused about your life, or you don't know what path follow to have a better life as I was so many years ago, instead of reading this "be happy now" books, go to a psychologist, or to a certified life-coach, and you will see that after fixing the mess you have in your head, your life will be "the mirror" that will reflect a better life for you, in the "real" world.
The only self-help books I found very useful after all this years of research, are from Dr. Martin Seligman, Dr. David Burns and Tony Robbins, they talk about the real life but even their books won't replace any therapist.
This kinds of books are like the tv comercials that say "lose weight fast and get a body like this in 10 days!", are you really sure you want to put your mental health (this books cause depression in the long term) in risk and spend your time trying this? It's very attractive to the people that feels lost, but thanks to God there are people that "really" know how to help others.
You could ask me, do you have a explanation for the people that get "lucky" and win the lottery for example? No, I don't have it, and honestly, I don't think any of us could "really" know about it, but the real question is: from the people that have a happy life, 90% worked hard to get it (to have a healhy body, financial stability, loving relationship...), and 10% got "lucky" (won the lottery, etc...), so if you were in a cassino betting your life, in which place you would bet? Why try the path of the few winners??? Why don't try the path of the people that with patience and endurance works for a better life for them and for others around them?
I hope this review is helpfull to you trying to understand what is all this fuzz about this book and dvd.
God bless you all.
Intention and The Power of ThoughtNovember 29, 2008 A well-written book and easy read, pointing out that living life with intention is truly the key to getting that life of joy and abundance. It is basically the principles of The Secret... aka The Law of Attraction. Choose those thoughts of appreciation, desire and thankfulness and the universe will bring you the life you want. It's about living consciously and taking responsibility for your life. Meditation is the tool that has really transformed my life. Read this book and then get a fabulous meditation CD by the author of the popular-selling book, Living The Secret Everyday: My Secret Workbook,called Living The Secret Everyday:My Secret Mediation to keep reminding you to be mindful and conscious. It is life-changing.
The Power of IntentionNovember 25, 2008 I had the DVD but wanted to get it on cassete tapes to listen to more often. The tapes were the same title but the information was presented differently and didn't have the same impact as the DVD. The tape is metaphysical and encourages an awareness of the source of life, health & prosperity. Examines who we are, where we came from and where we're going. If the premise is exercised daily it should reduce stress and help us achieve our goals. Not a religious tape but incorporates spirituality from many sources.
Attract Success NowNovember 13, 2008 I have had the honor of meeting Wayne on a couple of occasions, and he is a enlightened being full of integrity and love, his work will continue inspiring generations yet to come. Thank you my friend for such an amazing contribution to this world in need of such powerful consciousness awakening.
A must-read for those who want to manifest the successful life they dream of.
