I didn't like the layout and the way the chapters are broken down.
I mean, yes to positive thinking and all that, but the part they left out was that you actually have to DO something to make things happen. Ick. I would go so far as to say that this book is not only BAD but it is DANGEROUS. And if that doesn't work you can write a vacuous self help book full of profound sounding but utterly meaningless tripe and there are enough stupid people in the world to make you rich!
Where the attention goes, the energy flows. do not give money to this woman and her brilliant marketing pyramid!A horribly-written and assembled collection of tripe; it has no cohesive voice, no cohesive theme, and is completely facile in its analysis. Fuck you, I said. Not believable. In these strange days of quarantine and isolation, books can be a mode of transport.
too bad I didn't use it to make millions like this chick!

I suppose I should say "good for her" for creating such an elaborate smoke screen that has made her millions of dollars.
The people in Darfur should be thinking "here comes the food, there go the guns". For those who buy into "the secret" -- which is based on "the law of attraction," and the basic assertion that positive thoughts will bring good things your way -- it's a stirring embodiment of those principles.
C'mon people, positive thinking has been written about in dozens if not hundreds of books and they were much better written than this drivel!
I hate, hate, hate this book with absolute passion. and she was already seeing the positive results of applying principles from it in her business and personal life.I wasn't interested in reading this book.
