This book covered a wide range of material and it wasn't until I finished it that I grasped just how vast that material was. It begins with a lot on spiritualization:
1. The Challenge to Grow (spirtually),
2. Negative Thinking ("You don't get karmic amnesy for, 'Oh, yeah, I thought that, but I didn't really mean it.'")
3. Metaphysical power of language (kids who say, I'm ugly or Nobody likes me, I hate math; adults, too).

I love Marianne Williamson.
She has a way of writing that is very clear and gets right to the heart of things.

M. Williamson has a unique ability to bridge the spiritual and practical, the inspirational and personal. Skip this book if you're looking for quick tips, tools and techniques for, as the title says, 'living your best life'. This is all about cultivating our inner life ... about paying greater attention to who we are and our relationship to God.

I actually met Marianne at a "Celebrate Your Life" Conference two years ago in Scottsdale AZ. She already knew what I was going to say to her before I walked up to have her sign my book. It was an amazing three minute discussion. This is the book she signed for me. I love it and her very much.

I can't believe how into this book I got. I bought it atTarget after doing a 'book dip' on it 4 times and being moved by every passage. I should mention I got it the day I was released from the hospital and had a true Freudian experience and also met my fucking maker!

Williams is one of my favorite writers. She has a deeper wisdom that just clicks with me. This book took me a while to get through and wasn't my favorite of hers, but parts of it have great nuggets that it is well worht the read.

It was ok. I don't totally believe with her perspectives on some spiritual issues. However, she really gives you some good advice about being who we were created to be.

Its giving a lot of the same message but you need repetition to learn. Its one of my happy thoughts.
