I bought this book back in 1995 or '96 at a time when I must've felt it would help me. And it did. The one thing I needed to read from it then was this one line: "Writing a description of what you want is a way of saying you believe that it's attainable and you are ready to receive it."

Klauser’s proposal is that the written word, even if it is just a short note, is more valuable than spoken word. People treasu...more
Some good insights. Disappointing though how disconnected the author seems with the reader considering the title and sub-title. The book's size/shape unpleasant. The gems were too far between monotony.
This book was a gift from my sister many, many years ago. I still every so often go back and read parts of it. It is amazing the power of the written word :)
