Summary: No matter how its explained, it works.
Review: This is a book that uses words like magnetism with a meaning other than the one in your physics book, but I bet it could be explained through the psychology of awareness, intent and subconscious patterns. However, if it was written that way, it wouldn't be as easy to follow and applicable as this book is.
I read it three years ago and I'm still succesfully using it to help me find work in the recession, find friends I like and my "miraculous" future husband, and generally bring good things into my life.
This is a book you buy multiple copies of so you can loan it to friends.

Summary: Very Helpful Book but it is Plagarized
Review: A friend recommended this book to me. I thought it was great. The emphasis of feeeelings was really a key insight for me. But, after reading some of the reviews I checked out the material she only casually mentions as her inspiration in the introduction -- the Abraham-Hicks material, specifically the books called "A New Beginning I" and II (Esther Hicks, author). I apppreciate how she has reworked this material for a larger audience and made it more accessible. HOWEVER, she does NOT cite places in the book that are DIRECTLY COPIED from Esther Hicks' book. For example, Grabhorn's suggestion to walk around with $100 in your pocket and imagine spending it on different things is directly PLAGARIZED from volume I of book I just cited. I have failed my students for this stuff, and I hope somebody challenges her legally on this. Soooooo, while you are concentrating on your feeeeelings in order to manifest/magnetize what you want in your life, be sure you have some integrity while doing so. This author sure could use a dose of it! I wonder what kind of energy she has magnetized to herself by profiting off of someone else's work.

Summary: Like attracts like?
Review: Having been through several physics courses and knowing physicists, I felt the author was just pulling her "physics" out of thin air. Never have I heard, from any credible physicist, that any of what she said is true. Like attracts like? I've never heard that "law" associated with any law of magnetism. Last I heard, opposites attract when dealing with magnetism.

Summary: Low-Brow New Age Take on an Old Concept
Review: Lynn Grabhorn claims her book is the "greatest missing link to life and living ever known to mankind," while providing a poorly written, rambling tome on the Law of Attraction. Various thinkers and intellectuals have written about the notion that our thoughts (or according to Grabhorn, our "feeeeelings") influence what we attract into our lives. I found it difficult wading through Grabhorn's sloppy, pretentious prose, which surely had to have been an affliction to her spellchecker and her editor. ("We already know that the trick to turning a Don't Want into a Want is to find ways to feel splennnnndid about that." "It would stand to reason, then, that the greater part of our being is operating in a frequency, or rate of vibration, a tad unknown to us at this time; what we would call reeeeeeeeeally happy.") Grabhorn's content is muddled, and her assertions are often not backed up convincingly. I have found the Law of Attraction a valid principle that can benefit everyone who chooses to adhere to it. People interested in learning more about the Law of Attraction would be better served reading such offerings as James Allen's "As a Man Thinketh," Wayne Dyer's "You'll See it When You Believe It," and books and tapes on the Sylva Mind Control Method and on Neurolinguistic Programming.

Summary: Appalling
Review: I only hope the author is paying Jerry & Esther Hicks royalties for such a blatant, obvious appropriation of their teachings.

Review: I really found this book to be enlightening. I've put it to the test and I was astonished to find that it really works. Wow! There's a whole new world for me to discover and create...thanks Lynn!

Summary: Unabashed ...
Review: Grabhorn is certainly an appropriate last name for this author since she unabashedly GRABBED the complex metaphysical philosophy as taught for many years by Abraham-Hicks, put it in her own "folksy" language, and claimed it as her own. Having listened to the Abraham-Hicks tapes, I cringed as I read the very same words and ideas, disguised, just enough, I suppose, to avoid a law suit. I am floored at her audacity. There is the very briefest of nods to Abraham-Hicks in the Introduction, but her text comes ENTIRELY from their teachings. This is a really ugly example of someone capitalizing on someone else's work.

Summary: Poorly written but who cares? It works.
Review: I agree that the way the book is written is often astonishing and off-putting. However, the content is good - no, great. It works. From the day I started reading it I started being happier. More and more, my feeling happy is in my own control. What more can I ask? There are plenty of books with better writing style, more sophisticated, etc. But this book has tools that really work wonders.

Summary: A truck drivers version of the laws of the universe
Review: Although, I personally like the Dr. Phil get down to business approach, but was a little put off by the truck driver version of it. Although the information is good, if you can follow it, it doesn't seem to flow. I think this might be a prelude to some more important info, but prefer the Abraham-Hicks original versions of the information.
