All my life, I've heard people say things like "You can't control what other people do, you can only control your own mind." and "No one can MAKE you feel bad." and "You can CHOOSE to be happy."
I've never understood what these people were talking about! I didn't CHOOSE to be sad, I just was! I didn't CHOOSE to be angry at my boss, he MADE me angry! And if it was that easy, if I could flip a switch and be happy, then HOW? I so desperately wanted someone to teach me how to do it, because it seemed...more

I can't guarantee that this stuff works but I can't see why it wouldn't. The advice inside here is sound and I'd say this book is a good overview of what various other spiritual-type books would tell you, e.g. think positively; if you want something, think as if you already have it and not about wanting it; have an attitude of gratitude; don't think you'll 'never' do or get something you want; give yourself love, especially the bits of you you don't like, and don't look for the love you need in...more
My aunt sent this book to me because I was sick and was having trouble being patient with healing. It is very simple and has lists of affirmations you can use to change the way you are thinking about things. One day I was in the kitchen worrying about not feeling well and my 4 year old son ran and got the book and handed it to me. So, if he thinks it helps, there must be something to it.
I won this book in a drawing at the gym, and it was a bizarre experience, because I somehow KNEW I needed to read it and KNEW I was going to win it.
It deals with affirmations, in all areas of life, and similar to The Secret, how changing our worldview can chane actual circumstances.
I put it to the test and saw an immediate turnaround.

Die Autorin beschreibt in diesem Buch ein Prinzip, nachdem die Gedanken Macht über unser Leben haben. Bekannt aus manchen Glaubensrichtungen, in denen gilt, dass das Universum uns zurückgibt, was wir aussenden.
Besonders die Einleitung überzeugt, trotz anfänglicher Zweifel. Positive Gedanken sind für alle gut.
