Let me tell you my story.

The secret absolutely does work, and its worked for me.<br />I earn over 5 times what i did when i first read the secret, am happier, control my emotions far better and hence attract better stuff. The law of attraction is really a secondary law to the law of vibration.<br />As you feel, you attract like stuff that resonates at that frequency.Physics 101.Now here is the tricky bit. Sticking to doing the exercises.<br />I did the exercises for 90 days solid(and still do)and my whole life began to shift.<br />Really what I did was bombard my subconcious with different belief patterns and that created a different reality.<br />The subconcious doesnt recognise whats big or small in terms of money, but we do, and often have major hang ups about it.<br />As Proctor says himself just reading and memorising isnt gonna do it, youve got to stick it in the subconcious.<br />Also read the"Science of getting Rich" by wattles, he states that mental control of your thoughts is the toughest work in the world.<br />I would tend to agree but also think its worth it.<br />If you want specific exercises also read John Kehoes book"Mind Power in the 21st Century"<br />Im probably like you. Read a ton of books and nowt happened. Did the exercises and everything happened!

I won't write a proper review because I know that no one will read it!

I bought this book because it was cheap mainly, it is 5 stars mainly because it maintains it's funny and quality atmosphere throughout the book. Extremely Highly Recommended- if you read no other book this year read this one- I promise you you will read at least certain parts of it three times!

Must have

This is one of the best books I've ever read. It literally changes the way you see people around you. Plus, it makes you happier and better person.

A great book to dip into

The actual quality of this edition is mediocre but for the money - what can you expect. It's what's inside that counts. I'm usually a cynic of self help books , but if you leave out the introduction and go straight to the first chapter, there are some great strategies for just being. Nice.

Dawkins

I enjoyed the book as Richards Dawkins views are similar to my own , Worth reading no matter what your opinions are if you're open minded enough not to dismiss it offhand

Not for me

Didnt find this book helpful at all! very patronising and basically anything bad that happens in your life is your own fault so suck it up! Didnt agree with everything it said at all. But some find it life changing.

Some good ideas

There are some good ideas in this book if you've not picked up other self-development/self-help books before. However, many of the ideas have since been copied and updated by other authors. In many cases, those other authors and gurus present the ideas in better ways, so Covey's book hasn't aged that well.<br /><br />I did feel frustrated that he pads the book out with so many examples and so much distracting wordage. Hey, if the publisher is reading this comment, please consider editing the book a little so it's shorter by about 50 pages or so and reads a lot more tightly. Covey also has an annoying habit of introducing religion into the mix, so the book comes across as a little preachy.<br /><br />So do read this if you've not picked up any self-help/time management books before. But don't bother if you have read other books written in the 21st century.

Hypnosis

I bought this CD for my son who was recovering from a mini stroke and struggling a little to gain his belief in himself. This CD has helped him immensely. <br /><br />I myself have also listened to it - the only thing I would say is that I would have preferred at the end that he did not make me come wide awake as I tended to listen to it in bed to help relax and sleep but then would always end up waking up again. It took me a while to figure out why I kept waking up until I listened to it during the day and heard the end, saying that it never did the same to my son.

Very inspirational

Recommended to me, and one of the best recommendations as an introduction to this line of thinking. Easy to read, and Very inspirational. I have read it once through already, and as I am on a year out of every day life (work, home country, friends, etc) for a journey of mind, body and spirit, I will read it again to absorb more and more. I have also introduced it to my sister (who has also bought it), and told others about it too. I have now also bought the DVD, which I hear is excellent, but waiting to finish The Law of Attraction by Esther and Jerry Hicks (same principals) before I view it. (also, waiting for my sister to finish The Secret, so that we can both appreciate the DVD together.<br />REALLY pleased that it was recommended to me, and will cherish my copy for a long time to come.

Screw Work Let's Play

I am really impressed with this book. I find it really compelling, beautifully written<br />with wit, clarity, and an understanding of human beings which really<br />resonates. Inspiring stuff!

The must-have parenting book

You only need one parenting book, and this is it. It is easy to read, and includes cartoon-strip examples of the techniques, as well as role-plays and other exercises which help you really think it through and get the ideas into your head. There are stories from real life about parents' experiences, and at the end of each chapter is a succinctly worded summary. And it really does work! (Even on husbands...!)I have used the simplest (when you've learnt them and have remembered!) techniques on my children, and been completely astonished at the response and outcome. It is as if THEY have read the book! ( They hadn't! ) Read it all, or dip in in an emergency, but get it.

Non smoker for 3 years...Thanks Allen

I bought this book for my husband who is a heavy smoker. I was a light smoker - 3 to 6 a day and then a packet or two at the weekend when out with friends etc. I read it to 'test' it for him - he was and is a huge sceptic.<br /><br />I read the book in a day. Stubbed out my last cigarette that same day. I haven't smoked since, haven't wanted to and know I never will again. I'm immensely happier and relaxed and didn't put on any extra weight etc. A lot of my friends smoke, my husband still smokes a packet a day and will not read this book - but he will one day when he is ready for himself and it's not a wifey 'obligation' and I know he too will stop.

The Mindful Way Through depression

I think it is a very good book and it is very helpful, just Great

HELPING MYSELF TO BECOME WHO/WHAT I WANT TO BE

I decided I needed assistance to help with my move to Australia and all it entails I needed some confidence for the times when doubts creep in! (usually in the middle of the night) I fully recommend this CD and book - it is enabling me to go forward confident that all is going to be well in the future I have chosen. I cannot recommend them highly enough, although I use the CD daily and just browse through the book. They are also incredibly soothing when I need to shut off and get some sleep!!!

Required reading

This book is up there for me. <br />I say it is required reading for the world, generations.<br />It's such a simple book but the message, the wisdom in it is ...wow

Food bible!

What an excellent book! I was really worried about weaning as I really didn't know where to start but this book has made the whole process a lot easier. I'd highly recommend it.

Just open your mind

A fascinating read that results in making the resolution to not make assumptions and be more thoughtful about why things are the way they are. Very accessibly written, I amazed myself by zooming through it in a couple of days - never expected that!

awesome

this book is really very very good. it's moving in places, funny in others. I wouldn't normally read this sort of book, but i heard about it on the radio, bought it for my wife, and myself gave it a try, and was actually surprised to find that I enjoyed it. i'd definitely recommend to everyone, not just for mothers...

Who Moved My Cheese?

Who likes change? Not many of us, but life changes all around us, all the time, and it is how we deal with this change that makes the difference between going stagnant or flourishing.<br />The witty little addendum to the title sets the tone of the book. Dr Johnson uses a simple, child-like (note, not childish) analogy to provoke discussion on how to deal with change, in the workplace, home, school, church or anywhere, where change is needed, to not only survive, but to prosper.<br />Two small men and two mice live in a maze and have to go searching for cheese on a an almost daily basis in order to survive. However, the cheese 'stations' sometimes have lots of cheese and sometimes just a little. When the cheese runs out in one 'station' they have to go out searching for cheese elsewhere. The mice, Sniff and Scurry, seem to take this in their stride and go on searching whenever necessary. The men, Hem and Haw, as their names suggest have a bit of difficulty in accepting the continual changes in their supply of cheese, and their reactions to the situation prove an interesting source of discussion. (I will say no more here, so you will have to read it for yourself.)<br />This book has been used in many work situations and I have also recommended it to a local vicar who has found it very useful in the church setting.<br />An easy read, but if you are prepared to read past the simplistic style and setting, there is a lot of food (cheese!) for thought on how to deal positively to change in any aspect of your life.<br /><br />
