The book is published by Simon and Schuster and its ISBN is 18473770292. It is a new age self help book that claims all you want is yours to have if you simply have positive thoughts. Its theme is self fullfillment and all negative things come from ones negative thoughts. I like the concept of postive thinking and self belief but the idea that world wars, diseases and poverty are ones own fault from negative thoughts is silly.Her theory is your thoughts are the primary cause of everything. If you have the rights thoughts, feelings you can cure yourself, make yourself thinner, richer and happier. ....I wish. She writes "You are God in a physical body". " You are master of the universe. You are heir to the kingdom. You are the perfection of life and now you know The Secret". Put simply it is the laws of attraction and your thoughts determine your destiny. Although I believe in the virtue of self believe, postive thinking, creative visualisation and mediating I feel the author goes too far with her promises. I hope nobody believes they can think themselves free of cancer. It was an interesting read. Reviewed by Annette Dunlea author of Always and Forever and The Honey Trap. A waste of money, for seriously. Zero Stars! I read this on the recommendation of a friend and it is laughingly bogus new age drivel. It's Norman Vincent Peal rehash sans even the pretense of faith in God. I actually prefer the DVD because I find it more convenient to remind me of the messages. Fantastic graphics! I highly recommend! 0.046 seconds to build listing no reviews | add a review
