There is a reason I got this for only $2.99. It was 44 very short pages (44 page swipes on a Nook). It gives you a few things to look for, and basically tells you to let your subconscious do the work. The author seemed to somewhat know what he is talking about, but this is a lazy attempt a book. It barely scratches the surface.
