Customer Reviews

If you can ignore the Waffle this book is brilliant

I have read 100's of very poor books on the Laws of Attraction in the last few years. I started reading books about goal setting, mind control and success principles in 1985. I have used what I learnt from my extensive reading, coupled with academic qualifications, business and psychology experience, to create a consulting company, teaching seminars to corporations in strategic thinking, marketing, goal setting and business development. I also use the principles to help individuals, by guiding them as a Life Coach, teaching people cognitive methods to help goal set and enhance their lives beyond what they could do on their own. As such, I read as many books as I can on a variety of subjects to enhance my knowledge. I can honestly say, that with all that experience, this book will help everyone who reads it to set better goals and achieve more in their lives, than they would think possible. It is a GREAT BOOK. As the Laws of Attraction have come into vogue, through films like The Secret, a large number of books have been published with LOA in their title. I have read virtually every one of them and have found many get lost in the voodoo principles that think you can sit, think happy positive thoughts, visualise wealth and as if by magic and serendipity, vast fortunes will miraculously come your way. A whole generation of people have gotten frustrated, when this does not happen for them and they do not understand why the LOA seems not to work for them. This book answers so many questions, regarding the LOA and why it can fail in so many ways, with so many people. It addresses many issues in its 212 pages. It looks at State, Intention and Action steps. It addresses old negative mental programming and if you download the workbook, will guide you through all the work you will need to do to get into the right state to allow the LOA to work. Unlike so many other LOA books, this one puts so much emphasis on your own role in your own success. It uses every strategy you could want, from Kaizen to the Sedona Method (A Brilliant Method to get rid of Emotional Negativity) to EFT to get the Laws working for you by releasing past negativity. The workbook helps set new goals and new empowering beliefs that will propel you forward for greater success. This really is a GREAT BOOK........BUT 212 pages could have been cut down. The first half of the book looks at State, Intention and Inspired Action. It is tedious and so full of utter waffle and waffle and waffle. I speed read and so ignored so much of the self absorbed waffle. The second half is better and it is obvious someone got a grip on the writing style. If you can ignore the waffle in the first half, this is a great book for anyone who wishes to succeed in life and business with strategies that will help everyone achieve so much more from their lives.

Excellent

This book is excellent for deeper info and understanding. Never hurts to have the same data expressed in different words and experiences. Somehow that always seems to flesh out the ideas a little more.

Good, funny, almost perfect

The Law of Attraction offers a lite and reasonably practical roadmap to being able to create or at least influence the future. It is very readable and even funny in parts, and it held my attention. The problem is, some physicist friends (I know a few) scoffed at the notion of some of its parts about the connection between thoughts and action. I will give it kudos for going beyond The Secret, but I think it falls short of a book called Ordaining Reality. That one goes into some serious physics to explain the connection between thought and future action. It's complex, but it's not lacking facts and science in that regard. I read the Law of Attraction in a weekend. It's taken me six weeks to get through the first eleven chapters of Ordaining Reality. I heard there is a new simpler version of that coming out soon and that may be well worth getting. In short, LoA is good and easy, but maybe not entirely accurate; whereas O.R. is tough and long, but seemingly quite accurate. Take your pick.

Positive, Persuasive, and Powerful!

I'm a huge fan of Deanna and of her mission to positively impact the world. This book brings her one step closer to realizing that dream, and is a must-read for anyone who could especially use an uplifting coach in their corner. I couldn't put my copy down because it was entertaining, engaging, and enlightening. I also gave a copy to my mother, who is seeing herself and her life in a new light because of Deanna's compassionate and motivating words. Eternal Thanks!!!

The Law of Attraction in Action is exceptional!

Deanna Davis's book makes the reader feel they are sitting in the kitchen with her -drinking tea and soaking up her wisdom, humor and panache. This book soulfully and scientifically reveals easy-to-follow step for implementing the Law of Attraction in Action in everyone's life. This book is a gem, its my "go-to" gift idea for everyone, for every occasion! Deanna - you are a beacon of light and inspiration, thank you!
