Rating: Summary: Life Changing Review: Excellent book. Detailed and straight to the point on how to incorporate positive wants and changes into our lives. This book helped me tremendously to bring positive energy into my life. Recommended!
Rating: 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.
Rating: 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.
Rating: Summary: Appalling Review: I only hope the author is paying Jerry & Esther Hicks royalties for such a blatant, obvious appropriation of their teachings.
Rating: Summary: Excuse Me Yor Life Is Waiting 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!
Rating: 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.
Rating: 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.
Rating: 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.
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.
