Rating: Summary: My life is taking shape!!! Review: I casually glanced at the cover of this book in a bookstore and something told me to pick it up. Wow!!! I am so glad I followed that feeling inside of me. This book is easy to read, makes perfect sense and is changing the way I do things in life. I would highly recommend this book to anyone who wants anything they think they can't attain. You will soon learn that you can! She teaches that you are the only one responsible for what happens to you, so be happy and watch things come together!
Rating: Summary: Excuse Me, Don't Waste Your Time Review: 0 stars really. I will try to be as gentle with this review as I can, because it is clear that the writer is enthusiastic about sharing this new buzz and feeeeeeeling that she has discovered. Therefore I applaud her for that. However, this is one of the most annoying and poorly written books that I have wasted money on. The more I tried to read, the more annoyed I became, "closing my valves" I guess, because the writing is roundabout, repetitive and never really gets to the point. The cute little headings did not help at all. I was totally fooled by the numerous positive reviews of the book, and so went out and bought it. Some of her ideas could be useful, but by the time I serched to find one idea embedded within pages of unnecessary rambling, It was difficult to link that idea to the next, because I had just about forgotten what it was. This just annoyed me - I guess you could say it created a negative "feeeeeling," closing my valve and killing my buzz. I would feel better if I could offer the book to a friend or acquaintance who could make good use of it, but I am afraid that I would only be annoying and frustrating another person, so I wont. My suggestion is that if you really want clear and helpful information on how to work with the law of attraction, go to the Abraham/Hicks material. At the same time, I believe Lynn Grabhorn is on to something - she is just not able to express it clearly and interestingly at this time. Wish her better luck next time.
Rating: Summary: what planet does this woman live on? Review: Electromagnetic attraction? Mind vibrations? This book is not worth the ink it is printed with. It is more like someone taking our intelligence for a ride. Simply put , this author is full of it . FInd yourself another book and don't waste your money on this good for nothing wad of BS.
Rating: Summary: Awesome - Expect a Shift in Your LIfe Review: I recently told a reader of my e-zine about this book and their comments sum up perfectly the results it has. With her permission I'll share them with you. "Your call the other day was an answer to a prayer! I was really having a tough week emotionally, and your call was unexpected and just what I needed. I went right out and purchased "Excuse Me Your life is Waiting" and started the 30 day program at once. I am still in the early part of the book, but am faithfully doing the 30 day program in the back as you suggested, and good stuff has begun to happen. More importantly, a shift has occurred in me! " C S And having an actual shift in your mood, your happiness, your success in all of your life is what this book is all about. The book has a down to earth quality, because it is filled with the author's anecdotes of what happened as she began to use these ideas. I later got the CD unabridged version and the author herself reads it. You feel like you are right in her kitchen with her having tea and she is telling you the secrets of her success. And those secrets are the usual "Law of Attraction"- "what you focus on is what you get" Plus her own formula which is: 1. " -identify what we DON'T want." 2. " -clarify and state what we DO want." 3. " -get into the feeling place of those Wants." 4. "Expect it, listen, and allow the universe to bring it."Of course she embellishes this with all of the nuances of how to do it. And the magic of her last chapter "Thirty Days to Breakout" is none other than starting by finding something to appreciate about yourself each day. When I tried this it only took a fews days and I felt like all my worries had been lifted and I'd been given a magic key. A friend even asked, "You're different, calmer, more grounded, more sure of yourself. What have you been doing?" My answer was that I was following the steps in Lynn's last chapter. After a while I stopped for a couple of weeks and the stress crept back in. I found myself worrying and life just wasn't as happy. So I started again to find just one thing each morning to appreciate about myself. Again the magic quickly took hold. THIS STUFF WORKS! And so my recommendation for "Excuse Me Your Life is Waiting" is an absolutely unqualified five stars.
Rating: Summary: What the soul yearns for Review: This book is not for everybody. But if it's for you, you will know it instantly. The information and lessons are perfectly timed, and that is simply not a coincidence. I didn't get past the 1st few chapters before I realized this was too good to keep to myself and have started a study group using the Playbook. The lifelong spiritual path I have been on never came close to revealing so much about me until Lynn's obvious explanation. Understanding I have created my own experiences has turned me into a very aware, deliberate creator. Thank you, thank you, thank you, Lynn.
Rating: Summary: A LIFE CHANGING BOOK Review: My good friend Kathy Wilson recommended this book to me. I'm so glad that she did. This book is an excellent resource for anyone who feels like they're just not quite making their dreams come true, and they don't know why. This book and Conversations With God are my favorite books of all time. I have a long waiting list of friends waiting to read my copy so I've decided to buy 10 more copies for each of them.
Rating: Summary: Use Caution! Review: I love books that have a life-changing effect and I am open to new ideas. I just don't get this book though. I bought it based on the reviews and was sorely disappointed. I would recommend purusing this book in the bookstore first before buying it and I believe you will put it back on the shelf and move on. However, if you have a lot of time on your hands, and have time to go to the max with "touchy feely" concepts you might be able to get through it. It is in my home library, on the shelf and will probably stay there until it gets crowded out by worthwhile books.
Rating: Summary: Excuse Me Your Life is Waiting.... Review: If I had seen this book a year earlier than I did,I would have jeered at the contents because the concepts were so far outside my frame of reference. As it was, I picked it up at a time in my life when I really wanted my life to be different and was willing to set aside what I thought I knew and listen to a different perspective.This book suggested that I focus on what I wanted instead of focusing on what I don't want. That simple shift alone was the spring board to an amazing series of changes in my life. This book is a five star book for me, yet I know that its message isn't for everyone.
Rating: Summary: Easy and fun reading.... Review: I loved this book. Several reviews spoke of how the information is repetitive. For me, that was not a bother at all. I laughed out loud MANY times. I have purchased a second copy to lend to friends. If you know anyone who leans toward a 'victim mentality,' ask them to read this book! I also bought a copy for my teenage daughter. If you're familiar with Abraham-Hicks, you know the language may be a little high level for some who are new to this type of information. Lynn simplifies it so that everyone can make easy sense of it. Thank you Lynn!
Rating: Summary: Modern Age [poo] Review: Although this book does give some good ideas, for the most part it is absolute [poo]. The very idea that I can control what happens to me, such as someone hitting my car, whether or not I'm approved for a loan, or getting a new car, simply by vibrating positively is ludacris. I wish I'd never have spent money on this one. It isn't worth the shipping cost, which was free in my case. I'll admit I'm new to self help books but I have purchased ones much better than this one. Save your money.
