Will blow your mind...approach with caution!

First I have to say, I love this book. However, it is not perfect...but what is? This is NOT a book about money, it is a book about creating reality. This book says that each one of us is the creator of everything in our world (scary thought - but he proves it). Those events we judge as good as well as those we judge as bad, are our personal creations. Since we are the power behind our creations, we can change them - and he gives a process for doing that. He explains that we are creators playing a human game and one of those human games is the money game. We play the human game for fun and learning. I am with him up to this point. Then the philosphy gets a little strange for me. He says not to look for results. But why would we change anything unless we wanted to experience a different result? I have studied many spiritual and religious philosophies and Robert Sheinfeld clearly explains why affirmations, law of attraction, rituals, etc don't work all of the time. Get the book for this explanation alone. Read it quickly all the way through as he suggests and then you will want to go back and delve deepter!

I finally found IT!!!

Without exaggeration I can honestly say this is the best book I've ever read! I've been reading about positive thinking and prosperity for MANY years and by many different authors. They're all about the same. They tell you to visualize, say your affirmations, think positively, and add emotion to it all so that it will come true. To tell you the truth, I'm not that much of an "emotional" person and found it very difficult to really get into it. While these other books have value, especially if you're just starting out, they lost their punch for me a long time ago. The strategies in them worked for me a little bit part of the time. Now I know why! Bob explains it all in THIS book. This book is the greatest. It takes you way beyond those others in a great way that puts you in control of your life. Where I was always feeling wishy-washy with the other methods like "The Secret" and many others, and I couldn't get a handle on exactly where I should start, what I should be doing, etc. I mean, should I be making lists, figuring out which goals are most important to me and focus on them first? I wanted lots of different things and would find myself scattered. I'm not scattered anymore! Busting Loose From The Money Game has me focused, content, excited and feeling good about my life. And it's totally cool when you start moving into what he calls Phase 2. Weird things really do start happening. Reality is not as solid as we used to think, and if you get there yourself you'll see what I'm talking about. I'm the kind of person that always believed in magic. I always knew it was out there.....I just couldn't tap into it. I couldn't find the door. Bob leads you right to the door and dares you to knock on it. Don't worry, it's very easy. There is nothing hard about the process to get where you're going. If you want to tap into the real magic you must do yourself a favor and get this book. And if you're reading this and nodding then you're ready for the journey :)

Revolutionary, therefore Criticicized

This book is profound beyond words. And that is precisely the problem with many of it's reviewers. This book totally contradicts the traditional success thinking, so they will call it immoral. Those people have an agenda and this book explains why that agenda produces INTENTIONAL failure in their lives. And in the spiritual Law of Attraction arena it shows why that only works enough to drive you nuts. This book shows how we came here intentionally to experience limitation, so that we could then lift that limitation and experience the truth of who we really are. The tools he provides to that end are simple and effective, but do not mistake my intent by thinking it is easy. It is a glorious path, and when you are ready life will never be the same. Those that have seen and understood the movie "What the Bleep" will easily grasp where he is going. He is on the same page with that, then gives a practical path to follow to use the concepts... and MUCH more. How far down the rabbit hole do you want to go?

Mind blowing!!!

Well, at first I did not think its great...starts off slowly, with research and science (never liked it!)...but when you get to chapter 3 and further, its mind blowing! I have commited myself (including my hubby) to do the processes daily as things come up (as they do) and be absolutely financially free in the next few years! Its amazing info here...buy it now and please not only read this book, but practice what Bob says to do! With only 2 weeks into it, we had "strange things happen" as Bob describe they would...checks came in the mail we never expected for various amounts, relationships improved with people we had sour endings, my daughter started to listen more and participate more in things, investment opportunities came up etc...too many "strange unexplainable things" to mention...BUY the book and YOU will see!!! We are just in the beginning of a great ride!

Reading AND doing is the key

I read the book AND began using "The Process", as outlined in the book and since then, everything in my life has changed. I would LOVE to read more reviews by individuals who are actually doing both - not just reading it and trying to make vague associations to other teachings, or pick apart tiny concepts that have nothing to do with the big picture covered in the book. Bob shares a process that has to do with reclaiming power, remembering who we truly are, reaffirming that truth, and dramatically increasing our levels of appreciation for ourselves and our creations. In order for us to reconnect to our true power and live without any limits whatsoever in this human game we have chosen to play, we first must realize we are not only living in an illusion (quantum physics finally made sense to me with this book although Bob just skims the surface of that topic), we are part of that illusion. When we want to change, fix, or improve the hologram/illusion, we are judging it. By judging it, we are holding it to be true. We can't reclaim power from the illusion and believe it is true at the same time. This important concept is covered in detail in the book and has everything to do with truly busting loose from limits. If we cling to goal setting or dreams and the details on what to do next to move toward our goals, we are affirming the illusion is real. Bob encourages us to react to what is in our hologram and follow inspired action only, and never says anything about letting go, or ignoring what is in front of us. Everything is brought to our attention for a reason and by diving into the emotion that comes up as a result of what is in our illusion, and doing The Process he outlines in the book, we finally drain the power from the illusions we have held true; money has power over us, our jobs have power over us, relationships, health - you name it and this process works for it all. Guess what happens as you drain power from illusions? They begin to change! By using The Process outlined in the book for over 6 months now, I have shifted from being consumed by planning and efforting to accomplish my plans, to only following what I am inspired to do, trusting in every action I take and - most importantly - totally and completely loving and appreciating everything I have created and feeling a joy in my being that I have never experienced before. This is the essence of Bob's teaching. This book and the simplicity in which Bob communicates this powerful information is definitely not for everyone. It is for those who recognize there has been a piece of the puzzle missing from everything else you have read or studied or heard and you know you are REALLY ready to put that missing piece in place and begin living as you are meant to live - without limits of any kind. There's no smoke and mirrors, no lecturing, nothing you have to analyze. It is all so very simple...
