Rating: Summary: Another "copy paste" product filled with blah blah Review: Never before told, because it was never known before. In an upbeat, humorous and somewhat irreverant style, Lynn Grabhorn introduces us to the Amazing Law of Attraction..... (<- back of the book) Hidden between 309 pages, you will find a few mentions of the so called Law of Attraction. Although it is no ""physical Law" and I do not know if there is one person behind this Law. I do know that the Law of Attraction was mentioned way before Lynn came up with this Law. You can read all about it in the book: THOUGHT VIBRATION OR THE LAW OF ATTRACTION IN THE THOUGHT WORLD by William Walker Atkinson (published in 1906). Text is online available for free. But, if you read the book by Lynn Grabhorn, you get the idea (Zero!! mentioning of any direct references or credit to others) that she invented the Law. And the core of the book is about.....the Law of Attraction. Law of Attraction gets 4 votes (not an absolute Law ) Lynn Grabhorn gets 0,5 vote (for the effort of "rewriting" the Law) An average of 2 (2,25). And next time credit the people who deserve it.
Rating: Summary: Open Your Ears, Open Your Mind Review: Yes, it sounds like new-age hokum, but deep down inside, you know instinctively that it works. The most powerful message of this book (I listened to it on tape) is not just HOW to get what you want in life, but that's it's OKAY to want what you want! This is a big jump for so many of us. Once we are willing make that jump, Grabhorn is there to encourage and show us the way. It really makes sense.I really enjoyed listening to the tapes. I like her speaking style; it's very human and down-to-earth. If you open your ears, and open your mind even just a little bit to the message of this book, good things can't help but happen.
Rating: Summary: The Essence of Abraham-Hicks Material Review: The experiences of Lynn Grabhorn originate from the channeled material of Esther and Jerry Hicks, known as ABRAHAM. She makes this knowledge, and her experiences available to people who would typically be closeminded to such a thing as the channeling of non-physical entities and intelligence. Regardless of where the material came from, the ideas work, whether you believe them or not. The Law of Attraction IS a universal law - neither good nor bad: it just IS, which is why the majority of us have been creating the world we don't want (by focusing on it!) If you are still curious, be sure to study the source material: A New Beginning 1, and A New Beginning 2. They are arguably more potent and direct.
Rating: Summary: Read this book it works! :) Review: I was skeptical when I first got this book but as I started trying it all of a sudden things started happening! Despite being in a challenging situation I've managed to totally change my work situation in a way I didn't expect! If you try it you'll start seeing results right away - go for it! :)
Rating: Summary: The writing is blah -- the changes in my life are amazing! Review: The method in this book is amazing (although the writing is not). Since I read it four months ago, my masters thesis was accepted for publication in a world-class scholarly journal, another essay I wrote was published in a book, I found a perfect job literally without trying (I had given up after looking for over a year), my husband (who hasn't read the book, but whom I've been thinking happy thoughts about) also got an incredible new job without any effort, and our family income has more than doubled. We will be completely out of debt in a few months, rather than in years as we thought. My health has improved immensely. I am a lawyer & have a logical mind. I do not like all of the new-age-y pseudo-science about vibrations that she uses in the book, but the practice of making yourself happy & "feeling what you want" works incredibly well. Not only that, I am able to make myself feel happy & good when I want to, not just when things are going well. And I always get the best parking spaces now. I'm not joking. If you had told me last year that I would be where I am now, I wouldn't have believed you. Get this book, plow through the so-so writing, and use the theory. It's like a diamond in a paper bag.
Rating: Summary: Keep your mind on what you want Review: Excuse Me, Your Life Is Waiting encourages you to keep your heart aligned with what you want and shows you how to let go of what you don't want. I found the author's presentation of this very important aspect of life mastery to be very motivating. I also recommend Optimal Thinking: How To Be Your Best Self for the realistic thinking necessary to be your best, optimize your emotional intelligence and make the most of any situation. 5 Stars well earned!
Rating: Summary: willful suspension of disbelief needed Review: OK, I am decidedly NOT a self-help book kind of person. I don't buy into them, I don't, as a rule, spend my money on them. That being said, this was a really fasinating book. According to Lynn Grabnorn, the reason that most of us are trapped in unhappy, unfufilling lives is because we vibrate negative energy and therefore attract negative energy, much as a tuning fork vibrating at a particular pitch vibrates other similarly pitched tuning forks. So we need to consciously change the vibrations we're sending out in order to attract positive things into our lives.......she uses the example of visualizing yourself driving a shiny red sports car instead of focusing on the fact that you don't have one, because if you focus on the fact that you don't have one, you'll continue to not have one. I don't believe all of her ideas, but I do believe that negativity breeds negativity, so I decided to suspend my disbelief and try her techniques out. According to my extremely unscientific study, it works. I don't have a shiny new sports car, but I have noticed that I have been more productive, happier, and much less worried about money since I started following the steps she describes. Weird.
Rating: Summary: A must read! Review: I literally couldn't put this book down! I just finished my second reading! PLEASE do yourself a favor...if you can't buy this book now, check it out at your local library...you WILL be thrilled that you did!
Rating: Summary: It will change your life Review: This book helped get me out of the rut that most of us live through every day - the daily grind of doing things because we have to, or because it's "realistic," or because of that old phrase: "That's Life." Lynn Grabhorn has reminded me that I make my own choices in life. That I can do or get anything I want if I center my feelings on that thing or idea. Not only has it helped me, but I had a friend who was always down, was couch surfing, and jobless. I said "read this book and you will have an apartement." She started reading it, and the NEXT DAY she had an apartment and a few days later a job. Just read it.
Rating: Summary: read it if you believe in mind over matter Review: this is an amazing book. it turbo charges the concepts of creative visualizations (brilliantly explored by Shakti Gawain) by adding the power of recalled and imagined feelings. the style of writing may take an adjustment, but in the end this stuff works. recommended for the spiritual explorer...
