Summary: Gives you control of your life
Review: Every time I pick up this book and start to read, I feeeel myself smiling and beginning to feeeel good. For me it has been a reminder of the control I have in my life. The real life stories are typical of all of us. Been there done that! The steps to regain the control we all seek to have in our lives are easy. For the novice, it is a great book. For the knowledgeable it is a gentle reminder of how to get in touch with ourselves again.

Summary: Excuse me, this is the best book ever!
Review: I'm not usually compelled to write a review for a book I've read, but this one did it. Lynn Grabhorn takes the simple premise that "like attracts like" and beautifully demonstrates how it applies to our everyday experiences. Her theories behind positively and negatively projected energy are simple and make so much sense!! Composed in humorous, informal fashion, Ms. Grabhorn makes reading her book feel like a conversation with a good friend. I recommend it to anyone who is intersted in a refreshing new outlook on life.

Summary: Life changing
Review: Lynn has passed. I just went to her website on a whim (www.lynngrabhorn.com) and found out. There was no mention of a date or how it happened... I was saddened, but she would not want anyone grieving for her. Our purpose here on Earth is JOY.... it's funny - I was never moved to review her book here until now. Now I want everyone to know how life-changing it can be. It is the Law of Attraction made simple. And if you truly listen, it can mean everything to your now, and your future. If you've somehow been lead to this entry on Amazon, chances are it's syncronistic for you, and the universe is telling you to order this book! If you feel at all led to do so, then go for it. The Law of Attraction is working in your life even if you are not consciously aware of it, so harnessing it consciously can totally change things for you for the better!

Summary: Quantim Physics concepts--not judgement
Review: Well, it's obvious there's no middle of the road in the reviews of this book. I am sorry to see that. I believe the folks that see this as a "blame the victim" book are misinterpreting the message. I am a practitioner of alternative medicine and at first it was very difficult for me to realize that death or illness is not necessarily a failure. Death at the proper time is a part of the cycle of life. One movie of late that addresses some of the concepts in this book, perhaps in a smoother presentation, is What The Bleep Do We Know? (http://www.whatthebleep.com/) See the movie and then judge the contents of this book. I like the book, myself. I see it as one expression of possible ways to use the laws of Quantim Physics.

Summary: FEEEEEL away cancer, disease, and accidents
Review: I can't remember ever having written a review on Amazon.com fueled by such extreme anger. My father dedicated his entire life to the service of others and NEVER got down or depressed. He is now suffering from terminal cancer...oops, I guess optimism, happiness, and dedication to other humans wasn't enough. He felt his way into cancer.

My very good friends are happy, funny, genuine people. They have a daughter with cystic fibrosis. They both carried a recessive gene for it...guess they didn't feeeeeeel right during their pregnancy. Their two other children are fine, must have felt better during those two gestation periods.

And all the people that perished or had their lives devastated by the Sunami....well, if they just (all several hundred thousands of them) had just chosen different feelings, well then they would all be healthy AND wealthy right now.

HOGWASH, at first I was going to offer my copy for free to anyone that wanted it, but I decided burning it would be a better solution, nobody that has even one speck of compassion and empathy should EVER read this book.

Summary: Invest in your life
Review: I would highly recomend this book to everyone who is open minded. Very religious people would have a very hard time grasping the concepts that are shared in this book. But to those of you with an open mind, here is a book that can truly change your life. This book is entertaining, and a bit long, but most importantly, it teaches us something. She gives us clear instruction on how to completely transform your life. It is worth you purchasing a new or used version of this so that you too can begin your transformation. If you try her methods, if only as a joke, you WILL be surprised. I was. I have had some surprising results in trying her teachings. Good luck to all!

Summary: Abraham/Hicks
Review: Yes, I agree with the review below, Abraham/Hicks material is best for the law of attraction. There are audio recordings of the material that are very inspirational and concise. Abraham/Hicks. Yes.

Summary: Dare to Read It
Review: I could not put this book down. I have often wondered about how the downward spiral in life really works. Why does life keep kicking you when you are down? This book teaches that it is because you are down that life is kicking you - based on the laws of attraction. Fortunately, this book teaches you about the opposite of the downward spiral and how to literally reward yourself with very little output. "Excuse Me, Your Life Is Waiting," is eye-opening and honest if you can open your mind to it.

Summary: Don't wait another moment-read this book!
Review: Heard the taped version of EXCUSE ME, YOUR LIFE IS WAITING, written and read by Lynn Grabhorn . . . though you may not have yet heard of the author or book, I urge you to get hold of it at once and then devour it . . . it is that good!

Grabhorn's premise is that the law of attraction puts whatever you think about into your life, so you need to be careful about what you put in your life and how you feel about it . . . she also points out that every moment of lives if governed by our emotions and not be luck, hard work, circumstance, good thoughts, or visualization.

She contends that there are "four steps to deliberate creation, the four steps that are guaranteed . . . to bring into your life whatever is your passion and much, much more" . . . they are:

Step 1. Identify what you DON'T want.
Step 2. From that, identify what you DO want.
Step 3. Get into the feeling place of what you want.
Step 4. Expect, listen and allow it to happen.

My plan is to get the hard copy of the book to pick up even more than I did from listening . . . however, from hearing the author's very enthusiastic narration just a first time, I also learned:

If you don't feel it happening, it won't.

We get what we focus on.

If you don't want something for 16 seconds or more, that's a sure way to make it happen.

Focus on what you want, not on what you don't want. For example, don't say, "I don't want to get sick." (You will!) Say, instead, something to this effect: "I do want to feel better and better every day."

If you intend and you feel, it will happen.

Saying "I intend" prepaves your day!

Being against something isn't going to improve it.

Summary: The law of attraction and making things happen
Review: The subtitle of this book is "the astonishing power of feelings," and that is the main thrust. You can't just visualize what you want out of life. You can't just want it, believe in it, and wait for it to happen. You have to infuse your dreams with emotion--positive, fizzy, upbeat, happy emotions, not in a worrisome, fretful way.

Grabhorn isn't the first to write at length about the Law of Attraction--which says in a nutshell that, in the energy world, like attracts like. So if you apply emotional energy to anything, you draw it to you. If you worry about something (getting sick, getting fired) you're more likely to cause it to happen. And if you passionately visualize the job you'd like to have, the mate you'd like to marry ... well, you get the idea. But I have to say, this is one of the most fun and readable volumes on the subject I've ever read. It's packed with examples, from the author's own life and those of people she's known.

Grabhorn deals with issues of money, relationships, health and other hot-button topics, weaving together a theory that actually makes some sense--and she guarantees that if you take her advice, you'll see results. (I don't know that she's willing to refund the price of the book if you don't see results, but I have to admit, her enthusiasm and sincerity are infectious.

Even if this book doesn't irrevocably change your life (and, hey, it hasn't been thirty days for me, so I can't offer a testimonial one way or another) it will make you feel better about things, at least for the time it takes you to finish reading.
